Are RMNs Finally Getting The Hang of This Collaboration Thing? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Are retail media networks finally getting the hang of collaboration? This week, two major announcements have me thinking about the transition from parallel play to collaborative play in retail media.

And these aren’t just interesting partnerships on paper: they could change how brands buy, target, and measure retail media campaigns
Shoppers Think That AI's Answers Are For Sale (opens the original)

Read excerpt
Retail media technology has already gone through several major reinventions. From retailers building their own ad tech stacks, to point solutions, cloud-based composable technology, and now AI-ready data infrastructure. In this episode, I’m recapping my recent article for The Drum, and exploring the four eras of retail media tech. More importantly, why these eras aren’t necessarily sequential.
