12:40 p.m.: Why Retail Media Networks Are the Next Big Thing
The number of retailers that have launched media networks in recent months has skyrocketed, and there seem to be new entrants into the space on a near daily basis. Why this trend? Selling ads is a far more profitable venture than selling products, and retailers have captive audiences to monetize. How can your business get into the action, and do so successfully? Pick up tips in this session from industry experts that are well-versed in how to manage a retail media network.
Speakers: Sucharita Kodali, Vice President, Principal Analyst, Forrester; Michael Schuh, Vice President, Media Strategy, Kroger Precision Marketing; Melanie Zimmermann, Vice President, Macy's Media Network, Macy's (Sponsored by Clarus Commerce)
