Speaker: Drew Cashmore, Retail Media Leader & Strategist
Retail media is still in its early innings. And that means leadership is still up for grabs.While other markets are wrestling with complexity—legacy stacks, siloed data, and retrofitted teams—Europe is in a uniquely powerful position. Not because it's catching up. But because it's building with clearer eyes.
The truth is, the global retail media market is hungry for a different kind of model. One that values simplicity over scale-for-scale’s-sake. Interoperability over individual walled gardens. A system that works for retailers and brands and customers, because it was designed that way from the start.
That’s Europe’s opportunity. What’s been built here already is strong—multi-market collaboration, strong trade organisations, retailer openness to shared infrastructure. The foundations are there. And if we make the right strategic moves now, Europe can leapfrog into global leadership. Not just in revenue—but in influence, model design, and measurement integrity.

Retail media will soon overtake TV in terms of advertising spend and potential. Retailers are in a fantastic position to take advantage of this opportunity and whilst many have started on their journey, it can be hard to navigate the complex ecosystem in order to scale without partnering. Join us to hear how others across the world including Tesco and JLP have been successful in building and launching retail media businesses and real life lessons in how to expand across channels in a customer centric way, the pitfalls to watch out for and how a collaborative approach can progress faster growth.
