"The market is speaking very clearly on this one" said Gaurav Pant, Chief Insights Officer of both Incisiv and Grocery Doppio. "CPG media buyers want a better solution and grocers know that media monetization is crucial to their strategic future and growth, but grocers are still struggling to catch up with the capabilities of third-party platforms."
"As online sales become a greater share of each grocery retailer's business, the opportunity to monetize their audience at the point of purchase is also growing. This is a $2-4 billion opportunity for grocers; Easy and immediate access to a media monetization network and resources is critical to improving the grocer's bottom line," said Charlie Kaplan, Chief Strategy Officer of Wynshop.
