Retail

The great data reset is here. The only question is: Will advertisers fight it, or will they rethink their approach and establish privacy as the foundation for sustainable growth?

The challenges facing brands and retailers also represent great opportunities to level-up their game with strategies that will make 2025 their best year yet. 

Agencies that address legacy system bottlenecks, embrace collaborative strategies, and leverage cutting-edge technologies will thrive in the future of marketing. It’s time to build a resilient, agile, and data-powered agency.

From our own experience and through exploration with our agency and brand partners, here’s our recommended approach to navigate these murky waters.

In order to compete in an increasingly competitive landscape, brands must craft media campaigns with timely, targeted and tailored ad messages that align with the topics, communities, and emotions that truly matter, building relationships that last longer than a Valentine’s Day crush.

2025 will be the year of in-store retail media, but this opportunity won’t just fall into retailers’ laps. Now is the time to be laying the foundation for retail media’s next biggest opportunity.

Retail media is a fast-moving environment that requires advertisers to adapt as the market evolves if they are to achieve hoped-for outcomes.

While media networks – whether RMNs or in an adjacent sector – are part of the puzzle for brands to figure out, they need to develop a more holistic approach to how they drive conversions across all channels.
