Consumer Healthcare Brands Embrace CPG Media Strategies
Consumer healthcare brands are increasingly adopting CPG-style media strategies to adapt to shifting consumer behavior and regulatory changes favoring OTC drugs. OTC sales rose to $58.2 billion in 2025, and the FDA has signaled openness to more prescription-to-OTC switches. Opella, spun out of Sanofi, exemplifies this trend, investing heavily in retail media, creator marketing, paid social, and search, with 60% of media investments now in digital channels. The company has built an 85-person in-house team using generative AI for creative production and brought programmatic and search in-house to boost ROI. Other companies like Kenvue and Hims & Hers are also adopting similar approaches. The shift brings challenges, including navigating retail media frictions and balancing long-term brand building with measurable performance, a balancing act CPG marketers already struggle with. AI search is also emerging as a key gateway to health information, requiring brands to monitor LLM citations.
Azoma Explains GEO Tools for Brands Losing Search Traffic to AI
Azoma, an Agentic Commerce Optimisation platform, outlined criteria for selecting generative engine optimisation (GEO) tools, citing Adobe's August 2026 AI Traffic Trends report showing AI-referred retail visitors outperform other channels in engagement and conversion. Azoma's analysis reveals that different AI shopping agents (ChatGPT, Gemini, Sparky, etc.) cite varied source types, necessitating per-agent tracking. The company highlights its own platform's capabilities, including prompt-level tracking across major agents, citation-source analysis, and optimisation workflows. It notes that products absent from AI-generated answers are never considered for recommendation, underscoring the importance of GEO tools that both track and enable fixes. Azoma works with enterprise brands like L'Oreal, Unilever, Mars, Beiersdorf, and Reckitt.
Azoma Defines Agentic Commerce Optimization for AI Shopping Agents
Azoma, an Agentic Commerce Optimization platform, announced its framework for brands to gain visibility and recommendations from AI shopping agents like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Amazon Rufus, and Walmart Sparky. Citing Harvard Business Review, Azoma highlights that Google, OpenAI, Microsoft, and Shopify have launched agentic commerce protocols, and Gartner projects 90% of B2B purchases will flow through AI agent exchanges by 2028. Azoma's analysis shows citation sources vary by agent, requiring tailored optimization strategies. The platform offers visibility tracking, citation analysis, competitive benchmarking, and optimization workflows, integrating with Salsify. It counts L'Oreal, Unilever, Mars, Beiersdorf, and Reckitt as clients. This article serves as a thought leadership piece defining the emerging category.
