📦 It can be easy to put retail media in a box: who it benefits, who takes part, why and how. But it's out-of-the-box thinking, creative ideation and data-backed precision planning that ensure Threefold-powered Retail Media Networks, like Co-op Media Network, achieve brilliant results. As part of her presentation at PLMA - Private Label Manufacturers Association Annual Meeting & Leadership Conference, Partnership Director Amber Roberts chatted with Dean Harris, Head of Co-op Media Network, about how private-label brands have achieved great success investing with Co-op's best-in-class RMN. 🤑 While private-label sales have surged as consumers seek better value in retail, retail media offers an opportunity for private-label brands to make an impact, drive sales and grow loyalty beyond price when consumers are less concerned with economic pressures. Thanks for sharing your insights with us, as always, Dean! #privatelabel #retailmedia #CPG
