• Agency Execs Urge Holistic Retail Media Beyond Lower Funnel

  2026-11-03digiday.com

  Retail Media · Erfasster Impact-Score: 3/5

  At Digiday's Media Buying Summit, agency executives discussed the evolution of retail media, emphasizing its potential beyond lower-funnel performance marketing. Dentsu's president of commerce for North America, Aisha Khan, highlighted the significant growth opportunity in in-store retail media, noting that over 80% of sales still occur in stores but less than 5% of retail media spend targets in-store. She also mentioned that AI-powered Media Mix Modeling (MMM) could reduce costs and that data CPMs for closed-loop measurement may compress as advertisers build their own measurement capabilities. Instrument CEO Laurel Burton argued that websites remain central to commerce strategy, contrary to predictions of their decline, and stressed the need for cohesive consumer experiences across channels. Crocs CMO Carly Gomez echoed this, emphasizing consistent messaging across websites, social media, and e-commerce. The discussions also touched on the importance of creative in retail media and the potential consolidation of retail media networks.

• Dentsu Aims to Make Entertainment Core to Brand Budgets

  2026-10-15digiday.com

  Entertainment Marketing · Erfasster Impact-Score: 3/5

  Dentsu is positioning itself as a global entertainment agency, aiming to integrate branded entertainment into every brand's core marketing budget rather than treating it as an experimental side project. The agency is leveraging its roles as producer, financier, and lead marketer on projects like the upcoming Angry Birds Three film to offer clients exclusive integration opportunities. Dentsu's global head of entertainment, Cathy Boxall, emphasizes a 'flywheel' approach to working with IP owners, giving clients early access to exclusive partnerships. The strategy is bolstered by cheaper content formats like microdramas and creator-led shows, making entertainment accessible to more brands. Recent deals include a partnership with P&G Studios on the microsoap 'Golden Pear Affair', a global partnership with Iconic Arts for franchise building, and a deal with creator studio Made by Us. Dentsu sees this as a significant growth area for the holding company, competing with rival agencies and talent shops for brand entertainment budgets.

  • Dentsu is a producer, financier, and lead marketer on the upcoming 'Angry Birds Three' film.
  • Dentsu partnered with P&G Studios on the microsoap 'Golden Pear Affair' for brand Native, with all 55 episodes released by end of February.
