The road ahead in retail marketing is evolving quickly, and last week, our Chief Data, Tech & Analytics Officer, Poorani Adewole took the mic as a panelist at the Criteo Connect event alongside Julia Edwards from Uber Ads and Mariano F. from Brown-Forman (Jack Daniels), shining a light on how brands, agency and publishers need to set up for Retail Media. The panel spoke about the importance of integration and single-mindedness amongst brands, agencies, and publishers across commerce, how this can build better retail media practices, and they delved into the emerging trends in retail media. The panel also touched on how standardization is a challenge in retail media and how we can overcome this by focusing on measurement and data opportunities. #Breakthrough #Essentials #CriteoConnect #RetailMedia Pippa Berlocher Matt Scotton Chris Hitchcock Stephanie Douglas-Neal Carl Colman Jen Davis Alex Kirk Sophie Price Jack Graham

Recently, our very own Sports and Culture Strategy lead Dan Collier-Hill together with Kim Anderson took the stage at the Mumbrella Sports Marketing Summit to discuss the state of Women’s sport in Australia. They gave us useful insights to consider when making our next move as media and marketing professionals. Fun fact: Did you know that less than 10% of the average sports media budget goes to women's sport? Or that fans of women's sport have better purchasing habits? Dan and Kim highlighted that supporting women’s sport and riding the momentum with our investment is a huge breakthrough opportunity, ready for the taking. To know more about sports media trends, you can reach out to Dan Collier-Hill, or Chris Hitchcock from our Creative Futures team. #MumbrellaSports #WomensSport #SportsMarketing #Breakthrough
