Currys Connected Media 
 
Currys has launched Currys Connected Media, an innovative retail media network that takes advantage of its 24% UK tech market share and extensive first-party customer data. This new platform will allow brands and media agencies to connect with and influence millions of customers, both online and in-store. In response to the transition away from third-party cookies and the challenges of traditional advertising, Currys is offering a robust alternative by harnessing the power of first-party data. 
 
 
Criteo Partners with Microsoft Advertising to Drive Retail Media Growth 

Criteo and Microsoft Advertising have announced a strategic collaboration to revolutionize the retail media landscape by seamlessly integrating Microsoft Advertising with Criteo’s extensive network of 225 retailers. With the retail media sector expected to exceed $150 billion in global ad spend by 2026, this move couldn’t come at a more crucial time to address market fragmentation. This new integration is on track to launch in the second half of 2024 and will be something to watch out for.

In-Store Connect allows CPG’s and retailers to collaborate on advertising content and connect with shoppers in real-time to drive sales. The rollout will begin with 15 Homeland locations, with plans to expand to 75-80% of the grocer’s stores within six months, featuring 12-15 digital screens per location.
