Who is this built for?
Brands running multi-retailer programmes in silos.
How do I unlock the next stage of growth?
Treat retail media as a full-funnel channel, not a line item.
Most retail media programmes hit a ceiling not because of budget constraints, but because of structural inefficiency. Supply paths are bloated, with spend flowing to high-CPA inventory that goes unchecked. Sponsored ads and DSP run as separate programmes rather than as one connected system. And funnel allocation stays static, over-investing in conversion while starving the awareness and consideration activity that feeds future growth.
The brands scaling profitably on retail media are the ones treating it as a full-funnel performance channel, not a line item. They connect AMC insights to audience strategy, use supply path optimization to eliminate waste before scaling spend, and measure incrementality across DSP and Sponsored Ads together. That's the model we build for every client.

How we do things differently
Connected system, clean supply path, real KPIs.
We treat your retail media programme as one connected system, not separate channels.
Most programmes run Sponsored Ads and DSP independently, which creates blind spots in how budget flows through the funnel and where overlap is costing you money. We use Amazon Marketing Cloud to connect DSP and Sponsored Ads into a single view, using path-to-conversion analysis and custom audience modelling to optimize across both channels for total incrementality rather than channel-level ROAS.
We eliminate waste before we scale spend.
in a recent audit, we identified that 65% of a client's DSP spend was sitting in high-CPA inventory at 4x the cost of top-performing supply. Supply path optimization, audience cleanup, and inventory quality refinement are the first levers we pull, because scaling a programme with structural inefficiency just scales the inefficiency. We project and consistently deliver 30%+ blended CPA improvements from these refinements alone.
We optimize for your actual business KPIs, not platform defaults.
Whether your north star is system CPA, new-to-brand percentage, or unit sales of priority SKUs, we build every campaign around the metrics that matter to your business. Our proprietary Budget Pacer manages pacing across categories and retailers in real time, Hippocampus logs every test so new engagements benefit from institutional knowledge, and our Customer Journey Analyser maps the path from impression to purchase so you know exactly where your investment is working hardest.
What your first 90 days look like
Audit, restructure, scale.
Audit and diagnose.
We conduct a full audit across your retail media programmes, covering campaign architecture, funnel allocation, audience strategy, supply path quality, and inventory efficiency across every retailer. We use AMC insights to map path-to-conversion data and identify where DSP and Sponsored Ads are working together versus competing for the same customer. We quantify exactly how much spend is sitting in inefficient inventory and build a prioritised roadmap ranked by CPA impact and effort.
Restructure and optimize.
We rebalance funnel allocation to ensure awareness, consideration, and conversion are funded at the right ratios for sustainable growth. We execute supply path optimization, pausing inefficient inventory sources and reallocating to high-performing supply. Audience strategy is refined by pruning high-CPA segments, scaling Performance+ where it's delivering, and removing cross-funnel duplication. Campaign architecture is standardized across retailers for clean reporting and fast optimization.
Scale and connect.
With the foundations clean, we scale investment into proven high-efficiency channels and audiences. We connect retail media performance back to your broader media mix through unified reporting, so you can see how retail media is contributing to total business outcomes alongside search, social, and programmatic. Testing is structured through our Experiments Dashboard, with every result logged in Hippocampus to inform future decisions.
