Retailers have gone positively mad for ads, and it’s no wonder. Despite the wildly different takes on its potential, everyone agrees retail media is a multi-billion-dollar opportunity and a powerful hedge against inflation and other margin-killers. No two retailers are taking the same approach, yet they are united by a mission to monetize consumer data and turn brands into paying customers. As CEO of Brandcrush, Teresa Aprile is on a mission to close the ad tech gap in retail. She’s passionate about streamlining media buying and selling processes so retailers can unlock the full potential of in-store, online, and out-of-store consumer touchpoints.
