Sort Your Data Sh*t Out – Or Miss Retail Media’s Next Big Growth Curve

Retail media is rewriting the rules of digital advertising but behind every high-performing campaign and headline-grabbing ROI stat is one fact – growth isn’t just about more inventory or smarter algorithms.

It’s about knowing your customer – deeply, dynamically, and across every touchpoint. The challenge? Most Retail Media Networks (RMNs) are rich in data but poor in clarity.

Retailers generate massive volumes of data daily – from loyalty cards and point-of-sale systems to ecommerce behaviours, CRM records, and digital ad performance. But this data often lives in silos. It’s delayed, duplicated, or simply difficult to act on.

This fragmentation makes it hard to answer simple but crucial questions:

Without unified insights, RMNs rely on outdated targeting, static segments, and one-size-fits-all campaigns that fail to deliver the precision and outcomes advertisers demand.

That’s why more Retail Media Networks are turning to Salesforce Data Cloud. Purpose built to unify, enrich and activate customer data across your entire ecosystem – in real time. Data Cloud gives Retail Media Networks the power to go beyond static audience segments and outdated targeting.

From powering next-best-offers to driving real-time personalisation and inventory-aware ads, it unlocks a single view of every shopper – across every touchpoint.
