Follow Sherry Smith on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sherryd-smith/Follow Criteo online at: http://criteo.comSherry answers these questions:1) Looking at all of the brand presentations at the recent CAGNY conference, it was hard NOT to find a reference to retail media. What do you see as the driving forces behind a seismic shift in brand advertising into retail media?2) Retail media is my favorite topic and a hot trend in CPG & retail today, but before we get there take us through the journey of California state to Triad and now Criteo?3) What are the different services or new services Criteo offers brands and retailers that Triad did not? Why are these value-enhanced?4) Let's discuss what matters with SEM - does one have to be a PPC expert to be good at this? Which metrics matters the most - ROAS or CPC? Do they go hand in hand?5) Some retailers have built their own targeted retail media platform, others have connected to networks like Criteo. What is the value proposition you bring to retail partners?6) How do you advise brands to go about a partnership with Criteo - what retail platforms do they have access to influence with outcomes?7) Let’s talk data & insights - what value added insights do you provide? How do you measure success for the work you do for brands? How does a partnership work on a given campaign? How far in advance do you have to plan it?8) Media - constantly evolving. Retail media vs google, facebook. Privacy changes in the recent software update of Apple iOS 14.5 and the postponed cookie tracking changes in Google Chrome are a risk for brands on personalized targeting. Is this a real challenge for now emphasizing retail media even more?Please provide the CPG Guys feedback at http://ratethispodcast.com/cpgguysCPG Guys Website: http://CPGGuys.comInstagram: http://Instagram.com/cpgguysDISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast episode is provided for general informational purposes only.
