Ad Sales, Inventory & Order Management Automation

Nearly a week on from the Beeler.Tech Navigator event, and the experience has really stuck with me as someone who has been surrounded by retailers over the last 3 years 🤔. A lot of traditional publishers are really in a pickle 🥒, but there seems to be an apprehension against acknowledging this. It's strange that so many are still betting big on print, rather than adapting for a future where their offer will need to be synonymous with those of retail media, telco's 📞, and many more. I was surprised that commerce media wasn't mentioned once 👀. For traditional publishers it's undoubtedly scary facing the weight of these ambitious, powerful, data driven, new competitors 🛒. But publishers know agencies, they have relationships, they know advertising. For those publishers who move first there is a huge partnership opportunity in retail media. We have seen already how this extends to CTV 📺. Traditional publishers that move first will be at a big advantage, and from my perspective on the vendor side, it wouldn't take a lot to enable💡.
