KEY TAKEAWAYS

Kiri takes a minute to preview what’s coming up on the pod:

  • In an upcoming interview we will be discussing theses for mid-market retail brands with Jared Belsky, the CEO of Acadia, which acquired Bobsled Marketing in February 2022.

  • In May, Bobsled will be launching new research and frameworks around retail media allocation. 

    • Retail media is exploding with Amazon disclosing how big their retail media segment is in their financial reporting, Walmart and Instacart growing quickly, etc.

    • Many brands are moving from the traditional shopper marketing, trade, budget, some digital, to an environment where their trade media and their shopper marketing media are now digital as well. A big challenge is where to spend on media.

    • Bobsled’s research on the best way to spend your media budget is called the Retail Media Budget Allocation research. Register for the webinar and report using the link below. 

  • There are a few topics discussed with Bobsledders:

    • A refresher on Amazon Brand Registry with Armin Alispahic - what brand registry is, and isn’t.

    • DTC vs Amazon with John Pak - leveraging assets while optimizing unique aspects of each platform.

    • In-house, outsourced, or automated with a Bobsled client - how to think about resourcing your ecomm function.
