What does the future of retail media look like in an increasingly programmatic world?
In this episode, Joacim Gerdbo and Björn Karlström are joined by retail media expert Jens Bargmann for an in-depth discussion on the evolution of programmatic retail media and the opportunities it creates for retailers and advertisers alike.
Drawing on more than 25 years of experience in ad tech and retail media, Jens shares practical insights into how retailers can successfully enter the retail media space, avoid common pitfalls, and take advantage of the growing demand for first-party data and automated advertising solutions.
The conversation explores how retail media fits into the broader programmatic ecosystem, why sponsored products and on-site advertising continue to dominate, and how retailers can balance monetization with a strong customer experience. Jens also discusses the rise of self-service advertising, the importance of scalable technology, and why retailers should focus on getting started rather than overcomplicating implementation.
