Retail Media Pain Points for Brands

As more and more brands—including CPGs—diversify their media mix and invest in retail media, they are better positioned to capitalize on the expanding digital landscape. However, the surge in retail media expansion has created some pain points for brands.

Lisa Obaidullah, Head of Commerce Media Investment and Activation at Bayer, agreed that retail media presents challenges with measurement, targeting and adapting to a rapidly evolving space. To overcome these challenges, they’re focused on educating their teams and planning for the future of retail media.

“We have adopted a long-run mentality when it comes to [retail media] expansion. We are making sure that we are surgically making a decision in terms of where we’re going to invest, how we’re going to dip our toe in the water, making sure we have the right KPIs and frameworks so we can create something that is sustainable for the future.”
