DMEXCO 2022: Top sessions on retail media
Retail media offers plenty of exciting opportunities for advertisers to establish a brand, so it’s no surprise that it attracted a lot of attention at DMEXCO 2022. We’ve summarized the most important sessions.
The retail media market is thriving
Retail media is booming! From major players to small brands, businesses are increasingly using marketplaces and online shops to position themselves on the market, gain customers, and sell products. And no wonder, since digital advertising is more popular than ever. And the obvious next step is to place online ads where your target group will find them when they go looking for products. Then all they have to do is click through to the product with minimal effort. At the same time, retail media is significantly more cost-effective than large-scale advertising campaigns, and a successful retail media strategy can substantially boost revenue. And last but not least, the imminent end of third-party cookies is encouraging many marketers to turn to retail media to reach new target groups.
At DMEXCO 2022, we heard renowned speakers talk about the future potential of retail media and the role it currently plays for brands.

#2 Retail media: Utilizing valuable data
The industry has long been worrying about the fact that marketers will have to find new tracking methods when options like third-party cookies are no longer available. Is that driving the retail media boom? After all, retail media at least gives advertising space providers a way to access high-quality customer data. This summit brings together Michael Gartner (Head of Shopmanagement & Brand Relations, Peek & Cloppenburg KG), Sabine Jünger (VP Advertising Services, OTTO), Jessica Koch (VP New Business & Retail Media, Parfümerie Douglas GmbH & Co. KG), Christian Raveaux (Head of Customer Insights & Media, REWE GROUP), Richy Ugwu (Founder & CEO, unea), and Holger Schmidt (owner, Netzoekonom.de) to discuss the extensive opportunities that retail media offers for using data, and how brands can take an omnichannel approach to leveraging this advantage.
