According to a report by Insider Intelligence/eMarketer, advertisers are looking for alternatives to Meta and Google.

“While retail media networks have benefited from marketers’ desires to find an alternative to Meta’s and Google’s walled gardens and prepare for the cookieless future, most offer a relatively basic set of tools—paid listings, display ads, sponsored search ads—that are limited to the company’s owned channels,” noted the report.
