Retail media continues to evolve and expand, offering brands a closer relationship with retailers along with opportunities to reach a large, highly relevant audience. eMarketer predicts that retail media will be the next big wave of digital advertising—and this form of advertising could even be bigger than search and social. Connecting with consumers where and when they shop helps brands deliver their message closer to the point of purchase, reaching mass audiences that include coveted groups that are hard to reach on TV.
