Media & Retail Media | MMA / Marketing + Media Alliance

Where should the money go now: video, CTV, social, creators, retail media?

Media keeps fragmenting, while evidence of what it returns has not kept up with the spending. We benchmark ad spend by category with MediaRadar, survey senior marketers on video and CTV, and test with Kroger and Vidmob which creative drives ecommerce sales. Our guides make retail media measurement practical.
