If you’re a UK-based retail media marketer and would like to share your point of view over a pint, please get in touch with me at michelle.urwin@clearskai.com.
Greetings, and welcome back to Retail Media Thursdays (RMT) with Skai!
Media industry stalwarts will be familiar with the concept of “Media Thursdays,” those (almost) end-of-week drinks in a local pub where you can let your hair down and celebrate the week’s biggest achievements with your team. (A few too many pints and a 1 am Uber home are not a requirement but usually inevitable!)
The aim of this series is to provide a platform for individuals working in retail media to exchange ideas, expand their knowledge, and discuss effective strategies. Each episode features industry professionals who join us to discuss pertinent topics in retail media.
We cordially invite you to embark on this captivating journey. Keep an eye out for upcoming installments of Skai’s Retail Media Thursdays, where we demystify the fascinating world of retail media and unlock its immense potential. Together, let’s shape the future of retail media!
RMT, Episode 19: Kelly Gerrard from Marshall

💰Brands want to drive incrementality, or additional business growth, on platforms like Amazon without cannibalizing their organic placements.
🛠️ The challenge of managing and integrating insights from different platforms.
🚀 Retail media’s evolving landscape across platforms and the in-housing trend observed in retailers like Kroger.
🤖 Generative AI’s role in retail media, especially in SEO and audience development.
📏 Advanced measurement and management tools, like Skai, are crucial in standardizing insights and optimizing campaigns.
📈 The importance of having centralized data from various retailers to report, optimize, and analyze on a more holistic level.
