Quo Vadis, Retail Media? With this question in mind (Where are you going, Retail Media?), we invited two of the best respected voices of this industry:
Kiri Masters, Retail Media Analyst, and
Adam Smith, Head of Retail Media at British Supermarket
Iceland. In this conversation, we explore the structural differences between the US and UK markets, why retail media has moved from hype to a lasting industry priority, and how new forces like agentic shopping and AI-powered discovery could reshape the entire model. We also comment Iceland’s ambitious in-store retail media rollout, the importance of measurement and internal alignment, and the growing tension between performance, creativity, ethics, and retailer brand identity.
