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.  
 
Another Week, Another Retail Media Platform – Quad Partners with Homeland to Launch In-Store Connect 
 
Quad has partnered with Homeland to launch In-Store Connect, an in-store retail media network aimed at enhancing shopping experiences and expanding advertising beyond major cities. 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.
