What happens when AI moves from experimental tool to everyday shopping assistant? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Liva Ralaivola, Head of the Criteo AI Lab, to unpack how artificial intelligence is reshaping the way we discover, compare, and purchase products online. Speaking to me from the south of France, Liva shares insights from Criteo's latest consumer research, revealing that 91 percent of shoppers expect AI-personalised recommendations within the next two years. We explore why that shift is happening so quickly, what it means for retailers, and the challenges of balancing innovation with transparency. From price comparisons to budget planning and dynamic creative generation, shoppers are already using AI tools in ways that few could have predicted even a year ago. We also discuss the complexity of integrating AI into retail environments, where business constraints, stock levels, and customer expectations vary dramatically. Liva highlights how Criteo is tailoring deep learning models to improve relevance, optimise campaigns, and support ethical outcomes. He also explains why AI is not yet plug-and-play, and why collaboration between AI specialists and business teams is key to unlocking real value. Looking ahead, Liva shares his thoughts on how data may evolve into a kind of personal currency, with users controlling what they share and how much personalisation they receive. From AI wallets to loyalty programs driven by interaction history, the landscape is changing fast—and businesses need to be ready. So what's your take? Are consumers ready to control their own data in exchange for more relevant experiences? And how should retailers rethink personalisation in an age of growing privacy expectations? Let me know your thoughts and join the conversation.

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1031: Today we're talking about Trump's possible easing of auto tariffs ahead of a Michigan trip, GM's courtroom defense over driver data privacy, and why e-commerce might be losing its edge as shoppers crave more fun and surprise.As he prepares to visit Michigan for the 100-day mark of his second term, President Trump is signaling potential changes that could ease the auto industry's tariff burdens.The administration is considering adjustments to tariffs on imported auto parts and may exempt automakers from certain steel and aluminum duties.The policy shift, first reported by the Wall Street Journal, appears aimed at supporting domestic manufacturers and suppliers.Proposed changes would address the “stacking” of tariffs—where multiple levies apply to the same imported vehicle—by potentially eliminating overlapping duties.The potential relief follows a joint letter from major automakers, including GM and Toyota, urging the administration to reconsider.“This deal is a major victory for the president's trade policy,” said Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, “by rewarding companies who manufacture domestically.”General Motors is facing a wave of lawsuits accusing the automaker of secretly collecting and selling drivers' behavioral data—claims GM is now trying to dismiss with a bold new legal argument.The lawsuits began in March 2024, alleging GM, OnStar, and data firms like LexisNexis shared driver behavior data without proper consent.GM discontinued its Smart Driver program in April 2024 and ended partnerships with LexisNexis and Verisk after public backlash.Now, GM argues the data collection didn't violate privacy because driving behavior on public roads isn't protected under privacy laws.“Driving data includes vehicle location, routes, braking events, and speed—all occurring on public thoroughfares,” GM said in its dismissal filing.“Roadways are public, and these behaviors are observed by all,” GM stated, citing precedent that public conduct doesn't carry a reasonable expectation of privacy.A new study from Criteo reveals that the digital checkout rush might be fading, with consumers craving the discovery and delight of in-store shopping.More than 75% of consumers say e-commerce is functional—but not fun—with 29% calling it a chore.Shoppers miss the thrill of the unexpected: 36% long for the “surprise finds” that often come in-store.A majority find online shopping overwhelming (78%) and lonely (79%), with only half describing it as enjoyable.While data privacy remains a concern, 43% of consumers are open to sharing data for a more tailored experience.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Smarter Marketing Measurement: Your Competitive Edge for Revenue Growth"The big ‘aha' moment for most marketers comes when they cut something they thought was working, wait 30 or 60 days, and see that sales remain exactly the same. That realization—that they were spending money on something with zero impact—can be both eye-opening and unsettling." – That's a quote from Jeff Greenfield, CEO of Provalytics and a sneak peak at today's episode. Today, we're diving deep into one of the most critical challenges in modern marketing: measurement.How do you know if your marketing dollars are truly driving revenue? Are you making data-driven decisions—or just guessing? In today's episode Smarter Marketing Measurement – Your Competitive Edge for Revenue Growth, I'm joined by Jeff Greenfield, CEO and co-founder of Provalytics.In this episode, Jeff and I discuss:✔️ Why most marketing measurement is broken—and how to fix it✔️ The impact of upper-funnel branding and how to prove its ROI✔️ How AI and machine learning are transforming attribution✔️ How to align marketing and finance using a single source of truthBe sure to listen to the end where Jeff shares actionable steps to improve your measurement strategy today!Are you ready to take your marketing strategy to the next level! Let's go! Kerry Curran (00:01.144)So welcome, Jeff. Please introduce yourself and share a bit about your background and expertise.Jeff Greenfield (00:07.758)I'm Jeff Greenfield. I am the co-founder and CEO of Provalytics, an AI-driven attribution platform. Since 2008, I've been in this space to answer that old question from John Wanamaker: "Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted. The only problem is, I don't know which half." Since 2008, I've been helping marketers and brands determine which half is wasted and how to redeploy those existing funds to increase their return on investment.Kerry Curran (00:45.678)Excellent. We're excited to hear everything you know about analytics, data, and attribution. So tell us—when your prospects or brands call you for the first time, what are some of the business challenges they face that make them realize they need your help?Jeff Greenfield (01:06.432)I'd say one of the top challenges is the concept of overcounting. Most marketers operate in more than one channel—typically five or six or more. Each channel has its own way of counting. The best way to think about it is that when you're advertising on Meta, they don't know that you're also on TV. They don't know that you're on Google. Criteo doesn't know that you're on Amazon.Kerry Curran (01:17.742)Mm-hmm.Jeff Greenfield (01:33.294)If you have a thousand orders in a day and you're working across five partners, when you add up all their data, it may actually tell you that you had 5,000 orders. So, overcounting is a major issue. Marketers often ask, “How do I figure out all this math?”Another big challenge is knowing that, as a marketer, you hear anecdotally that channels like connected television (CTV) and podcast advertising work for brands similar to yours. Yet, when you try them, you don't see results, and you wonder, “What's the magic? How is it working for them, but not for me?” You don't see the numbers going up, and you're trying to figure out why.Finally, one of the biggest challenges is the constant tension between marketing and finance. Finance teams are heavy on math, and they often talk about marketers under their breath, saying we don't understand how math works. Meanwhile, marketers think finance doesn't understand how marketing works. This disconnect is critical because finance controls the budget. If you want more budget, you have to speak their language. Those tend to be the biggest issues.Kerry Curran (02:57.442)Yeah, it's definitely a challenge. I'm nodding and laughing because we all know that CFOs are the hardest to convince of marketing's value—especially for upper-funnel initiatives. I believe in the rising tide lifting all ships when it comes to marketing, but you're right. If you can't align investment at the channel level or prove overall impact, it becomes much harder to justify.You're helping clients identify the sources of traffic and revenue. How do you solve for this? How are you helping them build out a single source of truth?Jeff Greenfield (03:47.534)That's the key—figuring it out. One issue within organizations is that, going back to my earlier example, if a company has five agencies, each agency is using its own methodology. They rely on platform metrics, their own internal metrics, and the marketing team's metrics. So, if each agency uses three different methods, and then finance has its own, that means the company has 15 or 16 different sources of truth.Kerry Curran (03:56.077)Yeah.Jeff Greenfield (04:17.358)This becomes a huge issue. We solve it using a statistical, machine-learning, AI-driven approach.Back in 2008, when I built C3 Metrics, we could collect 100% of the data—all website data, third-party data, and impression data. We could track an end-to-end trail, with date and timestamp, whenever someone converted.Then, privacy regulations changed everything. Facebook, YouTube, iOS—they all said, “You can't have impression data anymore.” Now, there are more data gaps than available data. So, we had to ask, “How do we fill these gaps?” That's where statistics, machine learning, and AI come in.The great thing is that we no longer need user-level first-party data. AI has become so advanced that all we need is daily aggregated marketing data from platforms and separate conversion data. We can link them together.This allows us to connect digital and traditional channels to digital KPIs—whether on a company's website, Amazon, or other marketplaces. We can even connect marketing impressions to individual scripts written each day.We're now in a privacy-centric world. We're not tracking at the user level, but because of stronger math and faster computers, we can achieve insights that were previously impossible.Kerry Curran (06:26.286)That's incredible. You bring up so many examples of how difficult it is to track conversions and touchpoints, and to demonstrate a channel's benefit and halo effect. So, break it down—how do you help brands, as you've said before, measure the unmeasurable?Jeff Greenfield (06:54.636)It's really about understanding how different channels impact one another.I was talking earlier today with a TV agency for one of our clients, and I reminded them how much things have shifted. Years ago, direct response TV ads would say, “This product is only available through this 800 number—limited supplies!” People would stop what they were doing and call.Now, consumers know they have options. They can visit the website, check Amazon, or walk into Walmart. The challenge is understanding how media in one channel influences conversions in another.For example, a brand might run TV ads directing viewers to their website, but most people actually go to Amazon instead.The biggest way we help brands is by taking data through a step-by-step process. First, we align the internal marketing team, because this is a new way of looking at data. Insights may feel uncomfortable at first—because they challenge assumptions.Then, we work with agencies. Brands hire search agencies to follow Google's guidance. But when you're advertising in 20 different places, you need to shift focus. Convincing agencies to adopt a new methodology takes time.Once everyone is aligned, we integrate the data into internal dashboards. This is where things get exciting—the CMO or VP of Marketing can go to finance and say, “Look at the dashboard. The numbers add up. Overcounting is fixed. The halo effect is accounted for.”And that's how you, as a marketer, get a bigger budget to grow the brand.Kerry Curran (10:34.094)That's so smart. Change management is one of the hardest parts of implementing new strategies, especially in marketing. How do you convince marketers, agencies, and CFOs to trust your data?Jeff Greenfield (11:04.142)Great question. Unlike old attribution models, which weren't incremental, our data is fully incremental.To build trust, we back-test all data. We validate models using a method called K-fold testing. Instead of withholding a full month of data, we train the model with a month's data but hold back different portions across multiple tests. This lets us validate the model while keeping recent data.But the real proof comes when marketers act on our insights. The moment they cut a campaign they thought was working, and 30–60 days later, sales remain unchanged—that's the aha moment.Here's the transcript with only grammar corrections, ensuring clarity while maintaining the original tone and intent: Jeff Greenfield (11:04.142)Well, that's a great question. Unlike the days of attribution—where the big complaint was that it was never incremental—our data is entirely based on incrementality. Everything we do is incremental. One of the ways we convince people of this is by back-testing all the data to validate the models.Kerry Curran (11:05.688)You.Kerry Curran (11:11.054)Mm-hmm.Jeff Greenfield (11:33.986)What I mean by that is, if you go back to the old days of marketing mix modeling, you would use about three years' worth of data. The last month of data would be held back, and then you would ask the model to predict the revenue for that most recent month. You could then compare the prediction with actual revenue to assess how well the model worked, which helped build confidence in the results. However, those results were based on a three-year period and were primarily used for planning the next year.Kerry Curran (12:03.832)Mm-hmm.Jeff Greenfield (12:04.158)But marketers today are most interested in what happened in the last month or even the last week. We don't want to hold back that data. There's been a lot of work in machine learning and AI to validate models while still providing the most recent insights.A technique called K-fold testing was developed for this purpose. It involves training the model using a month's worth of data while holding back a portion of the days. For example, we might hold back the revenue, leads, or add-to-cart data for 20% of the days and ask the model to predict those values. Then we repeat the process, holding back a different 20%, and do this five times. By the end, we've held back 100% of the data at different points, allowing us to fully validate the model's accuracy.Even though we can show a chart demonstrating that the model predicts outcomes with, say, 93% accuracy, nothing beats real-world testing. If the model suggests that a campaign isn't producing the expected results and recommends cutting it by 50%, we can test that recommendation by actually reducing the spend and observing what happens.Kerry Curran (13:11.758)Mm-hmm.Jeff Greenfield (13:26.816)The big “aha” moment for most marketers comes when they cut something they thought was working, wait 30 or 60 days, and see that sales remain exactly the same. That realization—that they were spending money on something with zero impact—can be both eye-opening and unsettling.The truth is, if you're not using analytics at this scale, much of what you're doing may have little to no impact. That's the first thing to recognize. But it's also important to understand that you didn't know any better before. The focus should always be on improving and moving forward. The best way to build trust in the model is to first show how well it predicts outcomes, and then implement the recommendations to see the results in action.Kerry Curran (14:18.946)Yeah, that's so smart. I love how you're able to prove the impact of your model and show how it works. It's a challenge to truly understand what's working in marketing.One of the things we've discussed before is the impact of branding initiatives and how different channels influence the bottom line. How are you uncovering those insights for marketers, especially in channels where there's less of a direct click path?Jeff Greenfield (14:54.636)First off, I think many marketers who have only worked in digital marketing have a warped view of how marketing actually functions. I blame Google Analytics for this because it's entirely click-based.Many marketers believe that we invest dollars to buy clicks, and clicks lead to sales—that's how marketing works. But that's actually not how marketing works.The click is the last thing that happens. What we do as marketers is invest dollars to buy eyeballs, which we call impressions. We buy impressions to capture attention. The job of those impressions is to build awareness, and when awareness is built up enough, people will take action—whether that's visiting a store or, in today's world, clicking on a website.For most brands today, their "store" is online, meaning clicks lead to conversions. But the hyper-focus on clicks—driven by Google, Meta, and other digital platforms—has pushed marketing dollars toward the lower funnel, at the expense of brand-building efforts.Kerry Curran (16:22.126)Mm-hmm.Jeff Greenfield (16:22.242)And that's a problem because the lower funnel is the most competitive space. It's a bidding war. If you spend the same budget this year as last year on a particular channel, you'll likely get fewer clicks because the cost per click keeps rising. Just look at Meta's and Google's earnings reports—they keep increasing because advertisers are stuck in this lower-funnel trap.Kerry Curran (16:42.232)[Laughs] Mm-hmm.Jeff Greenfield (16:50.102)Larger brands are catching on. They're moving up the funnel. Investing in upper-funnel marketing is the gift that keeps on giving because your funnel stays full. It delivers returns at twice the rate of lower-funnel tactics.We measure this by focusing on how marketing actually works—tracking impressions rather than just clicks. Our impression-centric model allows us to compare different channels—linear TV, CTV, direct mail, paid social, and more—on an apples-to-apples basis.Branding efforts often take longer to show impact, but we track multiple KPIs, not just revenue. We incorporate leading indicators, such as website traffic, call center volume, and other engagement metrics, to capture branding's long-term effects.Branding has always been critical, but now it's finally being recognized as the key to long-term growth.Kerry Curran (18:40.856)Mm-hmm.Kerry Curran (18:44.812)Yes, I completely agree. I've seen this play out across multiple brands. There's been such a race to the bottom—just focusing on immediate conversions without building awareness or customer relationships.I hope more marketers and CFOs are listening to this. Branding is the growth lane, and making smarter investments across channels is what truly drives long-term revenue growth.Jeff Greenfield (19:18.614)A thousand percent. Most marketing today is focused on offers, benefits, and limited-time deals. But brands that differentiate themselves with emotional messaging—connecting with their audience on a deeper level—win in the long run.Marketers obsessed with lower-funnel performance often forget that consumers form emotional connections with brands, and those connections drive purchasing decisions. The complexity of digital marketing has caused many to lose sight of fundamental marketing principles.Kerry Curran (20:14.53)Yes, I agree! That's exactly why we're here—to help educate people on marketing strategies and foundations.One key thing you've pointed out is that you can tie ad creative and messaging to performance. Going back to that emotional connection, how are you testing and measuring it?Jeff Greenfield (20:43.694)Absolutely. We incorporate ad creative as a dimension in our model. This works well for video, TV, and radio advertising. Even for search and social, brands can extract key ad attributes and integrate them into their marketing hierarchy.Once you categorize creative elements, you can analyze which components are driving higher sales or leading indicators. This data informs future creative strategies, ensuring continuous improvement. That's what makes this so exciting.Kerry Curran (21:32.62)I love that. Insights like these help brands become smarter, more efficient, and more effective with their marketing investments.Jeff, thank you so much for your expertise. For marketers who want to improve their measurement approach, where should they start?Here's your transcript with only grammar corrections, ensuring clarity while maintaining the original tone and intent: Jeff Greenfield (20:43.694)Absolutely, because that becomes one of the dimensions of the model. What's really exciting is that when brands actually take the time, they can easily analyze this for video advertising, TV, or radio. However, it becomes a bit more challenging when dealing with search and social ads.That said, it doesn't take much effort for marketers to go through their ads, identify key attributes, and integrate them into their marketing hierarchy. Once they do that, they can start seeing which ad components drive more sales or leading indicators. This, in turn, helps shape future creative decisions. That's what makes this so exciting.Kerry Curran (21:32.62)Yeah, I love that. I love the level of insight, and anything that helps brands become smarter, more effective, and more efficient with their investments is incredibly valuable.Jeff, I appreciate all of your insights. For the people listening who are thinking, I need to get smarter about my measurement, what are some foundational steps they should take to get ready?Jeff Greenfield (21:59.128)Well, the first thing I'd say is that most marketers running campaigns typically have a Google Sheet sitting on their desktop or laptop. It tracks daily spend, clicks, cost per click, and cost per sale. But what's often missing is the impression number.And chances are, when they downloaded the reports to build this sheet, impressions were included in the data—they just ignored the column.Kerry Curran (22:09.422)You.Jeff Greenfield (22:28.096)So, I'd recommend repulling all of that data for the last 12 months on a daily basis. Add an impressions column right after the date, then start graphing your daily impression volume alongside your daily clicks and daily sales. Look for relationships in the data.This is a DIY approach to what we do at Provalytics.Kerry Curran (22:40.204)You.Jeff Greenfield (22:54.302)As you analyze these relationships, look for a time delay between impressions rising and an increase in clicks and conversions. When you identify days where impressions spiked and led to a later uptick in sales, dig into those specific days. What did you do differently? That's the type of activity you want to do more of.This is the first step in preparing for a paradigm shift—understanding that we buy impressions, and that's where marketing analysis should begin.Kerry Curran (23:17.166)I'm sorry.Jeff Greenfield (23:22.964)The second step is education. At Provalytics, we've put a lot of thought into this, especially with all the privacy changes and how the industry is evolving.We created an Attribution Certification Course that covers the past, present, and what we see as the future of attribution. Because marketing will continue to change, the best way to prepare is by strengthening your foundational knowledge.The course is completely free. It takes about an hour and a half to complete, and there's a quiz at the end. If you pass, you get a certification you can showcase on LinkedIn. It's a great resource to deepen your understanding of how we got to where we are today.Kerry Curran (24:11.278)Excellent, Jeff! This is incredibly valuable. I'm definitely going to check out the Attribution Certification myself.Tell us—how can people find you? Where can they get in touch with you and learn more about Provalytics?Jeff Greenfield (24:25.634)People can always find me on LinkedIn if they want to connect. They can also visit the Provalytics website, where we offer an on-demand demo.We also host regular live demos, where we walk through the platform in detail and explain exactly how the modeling works. If anyone is interested, they can sign up, watch the demo, and schedule a time to chat with us.I'm always happy to speak with marketers—or anyone interested in this space. I know that, to most marketers, this is just math, but to me, it's kind of sexy.Kerry Curran (25:07.382)Awesome! Well, I'm glad we're making data and attribution sexy again, right, Jeff?Thank you so much for sharing your expertise, insights, and free resources with the audience. This has been fantastic.Jeff Greenfield (25:13.506)That's right.Jeff Greenfield (25:27.064)My pleasure, Kerry. Thank you so much for having me.

In this special episode, Dan Massimino and Evan Hovorka turn introspective. They delve into their backgrounds, the origin of their podcast concept, and the vital relationships shaping retail media. Reflecting on notable guests like Casey Hamlyn, Sean Muller, Sherry Smith, and partners from Google and Criteo, they explore recurring themes of innovation, collaboration, trust, and the promise of AI in retail media. Dan Massimino LinkedInEvan Hovorka LinkedInEpisode Highlights: [07:56] Evan and Dan highlight the unique approach The Garage takes towards problem-solving and innovation. Unlike traditional meetings with pre-canned sales pitches, the podcast embraces a hands-on, whiteboard session format that encourages real-time problem-solving and creative thinking. This format aligns with Evan's belief in rolling up sleeves and co-designing solutions from scratch. This approach reflects the podcast's aim to tackle the complexities and unique challenges of retail media by engaging directly with partners to create bespoke solutions rather than relying on off-the-shelf software. This method encourages participants to think outside the box and collaboratively address challenges in a more dynamic and effective way.[19:31] Evan discusses Google's evolving role in retail media, emphasizing a significant shift in their approach. Unlike their previous one-size-fits-all strategy, Google has embraced a more tailored approach to retail media. Recognizing the unique needs of different retailers, such as Walmart, Target, and Amazon, Google is now focusing on building custom partnerships and integrating their toolset to meet specific requirements. This shift represents a more collaborative and adaptive mindset, demonstrating Google's commitment to addressing the diverse challenges within the retail media landscape and working closely with partners to deliver more effective solutions.[33:52] Evan and Dan discuss the future of AI in retail media, suggesting a pragmatic approach for the next few years. He outlines that AI needs to operate within established rules and constraints to ensure compliance with business practices and regulations. This controlled use of AI for specific tasks like budget optimization and creative testing will allow for safe and iterative development. As AI proves its effectiveness in these areas, it can then expand into more innovative and less constrained applications. This approach ensures that AI's deployment is both practical and compliant with existing constraints, paving the way for more advanced uses in the future.[36:26] Evan highlights the potential for integrating in-store and digital experiences in retail media. He contrasts the current focus on digital advertising, which is easy to implement, with the vast untapped potential of in-store interactions. He believes that leveraging the physical store environment, where most customer interactions and sales occur, could greatly benefit both shoppers and brands. Evan envisions retail media evolving to become a seamless part of the customer shopping journey, blending online and offline experiences to inspire and engage shoppers more effectively. He emphasizes that the true value will be realized when digital and in-store elements work together, benefiting both customers and the brands investing in retail media. Hosted on Acast.

My guest on this episode of the Mobile Dev Memo podcast is David Philippson, the founder and CEO of Dataseat, a privacy-first mobile DSP. As David notes in our conversation, this is the fourth episode of the MDM podcast on which David has appeared, which likely makes him the most recurring guest. David is a wealth of insight into the mobile advertising ecosystem, having founded one of the first MMPs, Ad-X, which was acquired by Criteo in 2013. In this episode, David and I discuss AdAttributionKit, the advertising attribution framework that Apple introduced at WWDC this year and which is mostly -- currently, anyway -- a re-brand of SKAdNetwork. Among other things, we cover: The changes to mobile attribution introduced with AdAttributionKit; The extent to which AdAttributionKit is an attempt to unify attribution across platforms, and what would that conceivably might look like in a few years' time; Whether Meta or Google are any more likely to adopt AdAttributionKit than they were SKAdNetwork; Why Apple made the change that only allows one view-through impression to be open at a time; Apple's long-term vision for attribution; Whether Private Cloud Compute will have a measurement use case at some point; Updated thoughts on the likelihood of Apple deploying its "nuclear option" of IP obfuscation.

0.9g of CO2e. It's pretty ridiculous when you think about it. According, the French SRI association this is the carbon footprint for a 10K prints digital campaign with a 200k image. So not a big deal? Not that simple because we're talking about volumes in trillions per day here. So maybe it's a good idea to dive a little deeper on the environmental impact of digital marketing after all. Hence we brought 2 experts in AdTech with a soft spot for Sustainability: Diarmuid Gill is Criteo's CTO since 2019 and has been in Digital Advertising for more than 15 years. Audrey Danthony has also a long career in AdTech, she started her first company, Oxeva, during the dot-com boom when she was still a student at engineering school. And 2 years ago she pivoted and founded with 2 partners Impact+ with the aim of reducing Greenhouse Gas emissions in digital advertising. ❤️ Subscribe, follow, like, ... stay connected the way you want to never miss an episode!

Retail media can be complex and shows no signs of slowing down, but Criteo's experts are at the forefront of retail media growth - educating brands, retailers, and podcasts with their expertise. In this episode, Ryan Britton, VP of Sales at Criteo, discusses the next wave of retail media growth and how advertisers should be organizing internally, budgeting, and measuring success.
I sit down with Nicole Kivel, Managing Director of Northern Europe at Criteo, to dissect the burgeoning field of retail media. Nicole, an early evangelist of retail media who successfully launched HookLogic Sponsored Products to the European market, brings a wealth of experience and insights to the table. The episode is a deep dive into the complexities, challenges, and opportunities that retail media presents in today's advertising landscape. The conversation kicks off with Nicole and Neil discussing the pivotal role of in-store data for retailers. Nicole argues that this data can serve as a unique selling proposition, especially when competing with online behemoths like Amazon. She emphasizes that leveraging in-store behavior can make retailers stand out in a crowded media market, citing the UK as a strong player in this area with companies like Boots, Tesco, and Sainsbury's all having robust loyalty programs. As the dialogue progresses, the focus shifts to the need for standardization, transparency, and self-service capabilities in retail media. Nicole believes that these elements are crucial for attracting agency budgets and for the seamless integration of retail media within the broader advertising ecosystem. She and Neil delve into the importance of being easy to buy and enabling access to data while also protecting it. They highlight the need for retailers to move away from a 'walled garden' mentality to unlock greater value for both advertisers and retailers online. The conversation then turns to the issue of fragmentation in the retail media landscape. Nicole points out that while the space is fiercely competitive with new entrants appearing all the time, it's crucial for retailers to present a unified front. She stresses the importance of common currencies, common ways of doing business, and a common language to ensure success. Failing to address this fragmentation, she warns, could cut 20% from the $42 billion on the table for retail media. Towards the end of the episode, Nicole and Neil explore the balance between technological investment and human expertise in managing complex retail relationships. They discuss the importance of understanding customer data and loyalty schemes, and Nicole shares her belief that to capitalize on the golden opportunity that retail media presents, retailers need to embrace more standardized practices. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the evolving world of retail media. It offers a nuanced perspective on the challenges and opportunities in the field, making it a valuable resource for advertisers, retailers, and agencies alike.
