Retail media is experiencing rapid growth across the UK and beyond, gaining more-and-more attention as both advertisers and retailers increasingly become aware of the huge potential.
Despite this movement, the world of retail media is lacking a central resource to bring together the industry’s brightest minds, leading research, and significant news.
That’s why we’ve decided to introduce Retail Media Age, a sister title to New Digital Age focused on all things retail media. And it’s getting its full launch at Foresight 2025!
14.35: Introduction to Retail Media Age – Tyrone Stewart, Editor
14:45: The Retail Media Revolution…
Retail media has been marching along with purpose, growing rapidly as more brands and retailers realise the tremendous opportunity presented by the channel. The decreasing value of third-party data, the growth of ecommerce, and the increasing demand for more measurable ROI are all playing a part in this growth.
A stellar panel will delve deeper into the reasons behind the channel’s rapid growth, and discuss what the continued evolution of retail media will mean for the future of digital advertising.
Speakers:
Deborah Rosenthal-Davies, Head of Solutions, UK, MiQ
Nadine Warren, Advanced Advertising Manager, ITV
Lauren Wakefield, Marketing & Communications Director, IAB Europe
15:25: … Goes Beyond Just Retail
Many would argue that retail media itself has evolved past being purely about retailers. Commerce media takes the model and opens it up to other verticals such as travel, delivery, and finance.
This alternative panel explores why the model should no longer be limited to retailers, how it works outside of the “traditional” retail setup, and why a multi-vertical approach may be the way to deliver the best results for brands.
Speakers:
Sam Eads, Head of Ad Sales and Operations, Trainline
Henry Stokes, Senior Director, PayPal Ads UK
Angelique Miller, Vice President, E Studio, Expedia Group Advertising
Liam Russell, Ecommerce Director, EMEA at Kinesso
