Kayla answers these questions:

1. Let’s start with a look at your professional career and what experiences you think have been pivotal in helping you lead the retail media program at Hy-Vee?
2. What, from your perspective, makes retail media such a powerful marketing channel for brands and what do you see Hy-Vee bringing to the mix in terms of assets that makes your company well-suited to deliver value to brand advertisers and to your shoppers?
3. You launched a platform 3 years ago in partnership with Quotient. Last year, you decided to sunset that relationship and relaunched as RedMedia. What was the thinking behind this decision?
4. Ok, let’s start digging into the ad products that you are offering starting with onsite. What are the core offerings and what type of bidding system is available for sponsored search?
5. What other offerings do you have for offsite or in-store discovery?
6. While many of your capabilities are within Hy-Vee’s tech stack, you still require partnerships. What partnerships have you established to support on-site, offsite & in-store products (LiveRamp, Trade Desk, CTV, Samsung Ads) and what integrations have you made to enable brands to leverage existing 3rd party platforms to execute campaigns on Hy-Vee? (Citrus)
7. For brands to invest in RMNs, they need to ensure that the performance measurement meets their standards. What is Hy-vee offering brands to support measurement in-house or via third-party  Are you offering clean room access to anonymized, aggregate data & what are your thoughts on the movement to standardize how RMNs define and measure performance under the guidance of the IAB?
8. Looking into 2024 and even 2025, what should our audience expect to see from Hy-Vee that will make RedMedia an even more compelling platform for brand equity investment?
