Benchmark Against Competitors with Pathmatics Retail Media Intelligence

Oct 26, 2022·2 min read

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.

Independent Data Collaboration Platforms Are Gone — Except One

Data collaboration platforms are consolidating under ad-centric owners, threatening measurement neutrality. Publicis bought LiveRamp, WPP acquired InfoSum, and LiveRamp absorbed Habu, leaving AppsFlyer as the only major independent player. Brands must vet partners for conflicts: does the platform or its parent benefit from ad spend? Without independence, budget allocation and ROAS calculations may reflect agency incentives over actual performance. Key questions: revenue from ads, cross-channel attribution consistency, data governance, and auditable methodology.
