The list of available retail media networks is growing with each passing month, and with them, new capabilities and promises to reach shoppers. Not all networks are created equal, however, and some are missing key pieces of the puzzle when it comes to understanding shoppers and the shopper journey. Brand marketers need retail media networks that harness the combined strengths of identity and AI, allowing brands to connect with retailers’ shoppers across ecommerce platforms and the open web.
