Research shows the number of marketers planning to use retail sales data will triple this year, with 74 percent of brands dedicating budgets for retail media networks. In fact, Forrester predicts that retail media will be a $50 billion market in 2022 and shows no signs of slowing soon. Retail media’s growth will only accelerate as marketers look for solutions that help them unlock the value of shopper data, close the loop on attribution and prove the ROI of their campaigns. To meet this demand, Walgreens has partnered with The Trade Desk to build a holistic retail media strategy aligned to their data and digitization capabilities.
Join Adweek as we hear from experts from these two companies about the solutions that they’ve built together to blaze the trail for the future of retail media and how retailers, marketers and brands can benefit from this new opportunity.

2:05 PM - 2:15 PM | What the Rise of Retail Media has in Store for Marketers The rise of retail media — and the growing pool of consumer data — is giving marketers a clearer picture of how their campaigns impact consumer actions, with retail media providing critical connective tissue. For brand marketers, one of the main virtues of retail media is the ability to deliver closed-loop measurement, which allows advertisers to understand the impact of their ad spend all the way to the point of purchase — at scale. In this session, Brenda Tuohig will review the opportunity retail media presents today for marketers and predictions for what’s to come in the retail media space.
