Question 1

What is a retail media network?

Accepted Answer

In the CPG industry, one topic is dominating conversations: retail media networks. If you’re new to the industry, you might find yourself asking, “what is a retail media network? (RMN)” And if you’re an industry veteran, you are probably asking yourself questions like, “am I really investing in my brand or am I investing in a retail relationship” or “how do I effectively spend my budget outside of RMNs to really maximize our growth opportunity?”

As Amazon puts it: “The term retail media refers to the actual advertising placed on a retailer’s media network. Third-party businesses that look to reach relevant audiences will work with a retailer to create ad campaigns for those digital channels. A retail media network is an advertising infrastructure that comprises a collection of digital channels (e.g., websites, apps) that are offered by a retail company to third-party brands for their various advertising purposes. Purchasing ad space on a retail media network can help brands of all sizes further build their digital marketing strategies.”

So that’s the retailer’s definition of a retail media network. But we are here to offer you and your brand an alternative to spending your valuable dollars solely with a few select retailers at a time.
