Retail Media's Reckoning: Who Holds the Power?

The Drum’s Current Accountability episode argues retail media has entered a new phase: the rapid, easy growth is over and power is fragmenting among retailers, platforms and brands. Industry leaders warn many retail media networks are reaching onsite saturation, AI is reshaping product discovery (threatening retailer-dependent traffic), and networks must prove differentiation to capture brand budgets. Measurement and speed-to-action remain urgent problems—executives cite the need for objective cross-network measurement and a damaging "data-to-action" delay. Several companies describe efforts to unite brand and commerce media (connected commerce) to own the funnel end-to-end. The episode frames future growth as contingent on accountability, adaptability and rethinking where value is created across the commerce-media ecosystem.

• The Drum published a Current Accountability episode (2026-07-07) focused on the changing state of retail/commerce media.
• Multiple industry leaders say the "easy money" for retail media is gone and many retail media networks are experiencing onsite saturation.
• Speakers warn AI is altering the customer journey and could reduce the onsite traffic retailers historically relied on for retail media monetization.
