(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nA leadership shakeup at Albertsons' retail media business has highlighted broader challenges retail media leaders face, with turnover emerging as a consistent pattern across the space, per Modern Retail.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): retail media networks are worth testing, but they're not stable long-term partners. Before committing serious budget to a retail media platform, test it at 10-15% of digital spend, measure attribution conservatively, and keep your relationship arms-length. If leadership turns over, your contacts disappear and your strategy resets. A safer move: use retail media for quick tests and inventory clearance, not core customer acquisition. The platforms are maturing fast, but the instability suggests they're still in beta.\nWhat that means for you: Retail media is a real channel, but it's not a long-term partner yet. Albertsons' turnover is a canary. The job of 'retail media leader' might be impossible — you're trying to make money for the retailer while helping brands, and those incentives are not always aligned. If you're testing retail media, go in with low expectations on stability, measure tightly, and don't bet your growth on it. Use it for fast tests and inventory moves, not core acquisition.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Modern Retail: https://www.modernretail.co/marketing/big-box-briefing-why-executive-turnover-has-been-a-consistent-theme-in-retail-media/?utm_campaign=modernretaildis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
