Amazon may dominate the retail media landscape, but is your brand missing growth opportunities by focusing too narrowly? In the second installment of this 3-part series, I’m joined once again by Cody Tusberg, EVP of Digital Commerce and Retail Media Services at Acosta Group, to explore what it really takes to win in retail media beyond Amazon.
We dive into why shoppers’ habits demand a broader channel strategy, how to evaluate which retail media networks (RMNs) deserve your investment, and what smaller or emerging networks can offer that the big players can’t. You’ll also hear insights on overcoming operational complexity, proving ROI without clean attribution, and how to turn retail media into a true growth lever within joint business planning.
Whether you’re a brand leader trying to expand your retail footprint, or simply want to understand how the landscape is evolving, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on the opportunities that lie outside of Amazon’s shadow.
