Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

Retailers struggle to grow high-margin retail media revenue because most ad experiences are poorly targeted, generic, or limited to simple rules (e.g., ‘top sellers’). That leaves money on the table for both advertisers and retailers, produces irrelevant ads for shoppers, and makes it hard to scale campaigns across millions of users and products.

Value Drivers

Higher media revenue per impression via better ad relevance and higher CTR/ROASImproved shopper experience and conversion through personalized recommendations and sponsored placementsBetter monetization of first‑party data in a privacy‑compliant wayAutomation of campaign optimization, reducing manual tuning and operational costsGreater fill rates and yield for on-site and in-app inventory

Strategic Moat

Moat typically comes from proprietary first‑party retail and behavioral data, optimization know‑how, and tight integration into commerce and ad‑serving workflows (bid optimization, pacing, attribution).
