Deep dives
The Role of Data in Revolutionizing CPG's Approach to Retail Media
Data plays a crucial role in transforming the way CPG companies approach retail media. Retailers have access to valuable first-party data, thanks to their strong relationship with consumers. This data enables CPGs to personalize their marketing efforts, measure the outcomes, and ensure they have consumer consent. Data-driven strategies focus on solving specific problems and leveraging consumer behavior changes. For example, AT&T successfully targeted audiences of people who were moving boxes, even though it might not be an obvious audience for internet purchases. Overall, data-driven approaches facilitate targeted marketing, measurement, and consent-driven personalization.
Measurement and Transparency in Retail Media
Measurement and transparency in retail media are crucial for both retailers and CPG brands. Standardization is sought after to compare retail media performance and ensure metrics are defined consistently. Retailers, who are investing heavily in technology, want to focus their efforts on first-party data to drive innovation, while brands need to prove the ROI of their retail media investments. Measurement transparency benefits both parties as it allows for more informed decision-making, enhanced models, and optimized media strategies. Collaboration between retailers and brands in discussing methodologies and providing clarity in reporting contributes to future campaign improvements.
The Future of CPG Advertising: Trends in the Digital Transformation
The future of CPG advertising lies in digital transformation and digital analytics. Three emerging trends are data clean rooms, generative AI, and blockchain technology. Data clean rooms are essential as privacy concerns lead to the phasing out of third-party cookies. Clean rooms allow for precise audience targeting by leveraging first-party data. Generative AI and large language models enhance content creation and predictive analytics, enabling better personalization and optimization strategies. Blockchain technology holds the potential for increased transparency and trust in marketing and can strengthen relationships between brands, retailers, and customers. These trends will reshape the CPG advertising landscape, providing more opportunities for innovation and measurement.
