Get your spreadsheets and book your meeting rooms, it's 2025 planning season! 🗓️ But how can you map out next year's strategy, tactics, and budget allocation without a tool for data-driven forecasting across channels? Here's how Jacob Snelson, Chief Media Officer at The Bluebird Group, approaches it: "As retail media starts to take a larger percentage of the digital advertising pie, the question we field most often at Bluebird is, 'How much should I spend?'" "With Skai, we have onboarded Skai Decision Pro, which is an AI-based machine-learning offering that will allow us to input spend by retailer per brand and per SKU in order to find the optimal spend levels -- and to forecast return as well as diminishing returns." "As more brands trust us with their multi-retailer advertising, this will be crucial in media planning and vendor negotiations, giving us confidence in budgets and performance." Find out how you can use Skai Decision Pro to forecast the impact of your media investment on performance: https://okt.to/T0dHrx
