What is retail media?

Retail media brings together brand visibility, retail channels and the moments when customers are actively planning, browsing and buying. It enables brands to be present before, during and after the shopping trip — both online and in physical store.

In grocery retail, its strength lies in proximity to the purchase decision. Messages can be placed in environments where customers are already thinking about what to buy, making retail media an effective way to build awareness, support campaigns and highlight products at the right time.

Retail media can also create opportunities for brands and service providers outside the retailer’s own product range. For them, the retail environment offers a relevant and natural way to reach customers as part of their everyday routines.

Retail media is a compelling opportunity for brands, bringing together commercial impact, customer insight, and an omnichannel approach.

Why retail media?

  • Close to the purchase decision

    Retail media reaches customers in environments where they plan purchases, compare options and make choices.
  • Multiple touchpoints

    Printed materials, digital channels, the online store and the in-store environment work together to create a connected multichannel experience.
  • Part of everyday customer behaviour

    Messages appear in channels and environments that customers already use as part of their normal shopping journey.
  • Suitable for a wide range of campaigns

    Retail media can support product launches, seasonal campaigns, product highlights and partnership concepts.

The growth of retail media is also supported by the wider development of the industry. IAB membership reflects a commitment to developing retail media as part of a growing market and shared industry practices.
