In our latest episode, Todd Juneau and Kelly Maguire dive into the complex world of retail media networks with strategic marketing leader and expert Matt Crincoli.

Drawing on his experience at Amazon, Walmart, Huckberry, Charlotte's Web and more, Matt explains what retail media networks really are.

He addresses why Amazon’s ad console is essential learning ground, and how marketers can avoid the trap of overhyped tools.

Matt addresses everything from leveraging data across platforms like Instacart and Chewy to understanding incrementality, and the illusion of silver-bullet solutions.

This is a no-fluff conversation for anyone looking to navigate the retail media network advertising landscape with clarity and solid strategy.
