Episode Details

Dave welcomes two luminaries on this week's episode: returning guest Lauren Livak Gilbert, Executive Director at The Digital Shelf Institute, and Nate Pinkston, Head of Growth, Retail Media at Microsoft.  The two recently authored a DSI & Microsoft advertising report, "Joint Business Planning (JPB) Between Retailers and Brands: Effective Optimization Strategies for Collaborative Growth."

They discuss why retail media is still "a reasonably immature medium and space" (5:56), how the tech stack varies across all the different retail media networks (10:37), the most important things to keep in mind for your retail media strategy (13:25), and highlights of the DSI/Microsoft JBP report (18:44).
