July 19, 2024

Retail media is projected to account for a quarter of all US media investment by 2028, growing faster than almost any other form of ad spend.

Making customer interactions more relevant is crucial for building strong relationships and loyalty. From sponsored product ads to in-store activations, Hy-Vee leverages its customer data to craft personalized and seamless shopping experiences
