Media Planning & Buying Agencies — Market Landscape & Ecosystem (2026)
These consultancies and media service providers execute audience research, programmatic media acquisition, and cross-channel campaign optimisation across digital, out-of-home, connected TV, and retail networks for enterprise marketing executives.
Strategic Market Thesis
The deprecation of third-party identifiers alongside the proliferation of fragmented retail media networks is transforming traditional media buying into an algorithmic, data-clean-room-reliant discipline. Independent and networked agencies that integrate proprietary performance intelligence with automated omnichannel attribution will capture market share from legacy planning shops.
