In today’s 'Snips' episode, I’m diving into one of the biggest unlocks for retail media networks right now: earning the trust (and the budgets) of media agencies. As retail media growth slows and retailers look beyond performance budgets, everyone suddenly wants a slice of those top-of-funnel brand-building dollars. But as I unpack the insights from Viv Craske and Colin Lewis from the Retail Media Therapy podcast, tapping into those budgets isn’t as simple as showing up with a pitch deck full of demographic reach stats.
I dissect what agencies actually want from RMNs, why most networks get their approach completely backwards, and what it really takes to become the obvious solution when a brief comes through. From identifying gaps in media plans, eliminating data gatekeeping, and building real, long-term agency relationships, this episode lays out a three-step strategy every RMN should be thinking about.
