Brands invest heavily in promotional dollars with retailers but have little insight into competitors' co-branded campaigns. Pathmatics' Retail Media Intelligence fills this gap by providing granular details on co-branded ads across display, video, mobile, OTT, and paid social. The platform reveals advertiser names, spend, impressions, retailer, co-branded advertiser, and product data.
For instance, from October 2021 to October 2022, Dyson did not appear on Walmart's digital channels but advertised on Target and Best Buy, while brands like Bissell, Tineco, and Bona promoted on Walmart. This insight helps brands identify top retail partners and allocate advertising spend effectively to reach high-intent shoppers.

Connected TV (CTV) has revolutionized TV viewing, with 87% of US households owning a CTV device. CTV advertising offers precise targeting, engagement, and measurement, and 98% of brands expect it to surpass mobile ad spend within 5 years.
Marketing attribution is critical for connecting spend to revenue, but platform self-reporting and last-click bias distort budget decisions. Single-touch models (first/last-click) are simple but miss the full journey; multi-touch models (position-based, data-driven) are more accurate but require robust data. Mobile attribution is particularly challenging due to ATT, SKAdNetwork, and cross-platform gaps, necessitating a mobile measurement partner (MMP) for independent, deduplicated measurement. Clean attribution data is essential for AI-driven optimization—bad signals lead to bad decisions. Starting with position-based attribution and incrementality testing provides a practical foundation.
