It's becoming more clear to many marketers that they can’t have a complete omnichannel strategy without in-store in the mix. In-store presents an exciting avenue for shopper engagement, but retailer and brand executives alike are still trying to discern their best in-store strategy to connect with shoppers and the channel's position in this complex retail media ecosystem. With a global view of in-store retail media executions and retail media customers in over 30 countries around the world, Stratacache will share examples of the most innovative campaigns and activations, while exploring the challenges of measurement, privacy and technological restraints as we look toward the future evolution of in-store experience and media.

Recognizing the importance of shoppers' perceptions of retail media, the Path to Purchase Institute surveyed Canadian consumers recently to understand how retail media touches and is received by shoppers along the path to purchase. The research marks P2PI's first study dedicated to Canadian consumers, and takes a deep dive on shopper preferences, thoughts and interactions with various channels, merchandising and marketing tactics both in store and online. P2PI's Senior Editor Cyndi Loza will debut the findings and analysis exclusively at Retail Media Summit Canada.
