Retail MediaX

In 2022, retail media spending amounted to £2.7 billion, and it is projected to reach £25 billion by 2026. Considering that this channel is still finding its footing in Europe, it’s no surprise that 82% of advertisers intend to increase their retail media spend in the next 12 months.

Amazon holds the majority share of the spending and has pioneered this new media channel. However, other retailers in Europe are also catching up. Exceptionally engaged audiences and high traffic digital channels are key indicators that establishing your own retail media network or joining an existing one can lead to success.

From building a technology stack to setting up infrastructure, or utilising first-party data for monetization, Retail MediaX explores the experiences of well established retailers in this space.

It analyses the entry barriers and discusses what advertisers, particularly in the FMCG sector, should consider when making retail media investments.
