Retail media continues its steady march upstream, with off-platform investments expected to grow to nearly 19% of total retail media spend according to EMARKETER. Soon, we'll move beyond thinking about retail media as a channel – it will just become part of the infrastructure driving the broader ad ecosystem. Retailers are evolving from “media networks” to data partners. It’s an exciting development that offers benefits to retailers, brands, and shoppers alike: ✅ Retailers can scale their ad inventory beyond owned + operated sites, offer more full-funnel placements, and preserve onsite UX while delivering greater selling opportunities for manufacturers. ✅ Brands can leverage retailer 1P transaction in a privacy-safe way that still delivers closed-loop sales reporting. ✅ Shoppers can get customized offers and streamlined shopping experiences If you’re a brand that hasn’t yet experimented with off-platform, now is the time! #retailmedianetwork #RMN #retailmedia

Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month may have officially ended on May 31, but we’re still pumped from a month of lively and immersive events hosted by the Advantage Solutions Asian American Employee Resource Group, which aims to connect AAPI associates across the enterprise for community and cultural dialogue. This year's theme focused on the importance of Owning Your Uniqueness, and these pics showcase some of the awesome things we discussed, cooked, and learned last month. Honoring AAPI heritage and the importance of uplifting a variety of voices is critical to AUC’s success – not only in the month of May, but every day. #AAPI #AAPIHeritageMonth

Amazon implemented major changes to their seller fee structure throughout Q1. Now that Q2 is well underway and sellers have had some time to adapt, we took the opportunity to review how sellers are reacting to the changes with Amazon SVP Fahim Naim to get his thoughts. Here's what he's seeing at a high level: 📦 For most brands with robust operations processes, we believe the net impact of the various fees will be minimal and largely controllable 📦 The biggest change for brands shipping via FBA is the need to closely manage all parts of the process, including when and how to ship units to Amazon 📦 The primary goal of the fee changes is to allow Amazon to increase the number of same-day and next-day deliveries, ultimately leading to higher customer trust and purchases If the Amazon fee changes are causing your brand apprehension, reach out for an expert analysis on how to best mitigate the impact for accelerated growth. #Amazon #ecommerce #commerce #AmazonSellers
