What OBI Advertising does
The company converts OBI’s shopper attention, retail traffic and first-party commerce data into B2B revenue streams. It packages owned digital and in-store inventory for advertisers, extends audience targeting into offsite media, and sells analytics access based on retail sales, assortment and customer behaviour data. Value creation comes from controlling proprietary retail touchpoints and using those touchpoints to offer both campaign execution and decision-support tools to brand partners.
Category differentiation
This company is not OBI’s consumer retail chain itself and not a general-purpose DSP vendor. It is OBI’s dedicated retail-media and data monetisation business serving advertisers, suppliers and agencies.
