    CEO @ SMG | PMW Marketing Leader of the Year 2024

    AI is reshaping the future of retail media - and for a while now we've been quietly building and testing in the background. I'm proud that SMG have always believed in taking a thoughtful approach - even when it’s not the simplest path. From launching Plan-Apps to building our AI Hub, we’re focused on solutions that bring together technology and creativity. I believe that despite the advancement of technology, AI isn’t here to replace human insight; it’s here to enhance it, making decisions faster, smarter and more impactful.   If you are wondering about how we’re using AI to rethink retail media, check out my article below:

    ⏪ At last week’s IAB Retail Media Upfronts, SMG’s Emma Dean (COO) and Bianca Hall (Senior Insight Director) shared 10 essential tips to optimise retail media performance. It was also a fantastic opportunity to showcase Plan-Apps and the powerful Test vs Control methodology that we use! 🗣 “Our Test vs Control methodology matches test stores, where media is live, with control stores, where it isn’t,” explains Bianca. “We look for a divergence in sales during this period, allowing us to confidently attribute any uplift to media.” This approach allows us to consistently evaluate every retailer, category and channel – providing the standardisation, transparency and analytical depth, essential for true performance insights. 🚀 With over 15,000 campaigns evaluated, Plan-Apps is leading the way in reliable, data-driven retail media measurement. 🔗 Watch Emma and Bianca's full session here: https://lnkd.in/gD7cMcHr #IABRetailMediaUpfronts
