The goal of the Retail Media Committee is to elevate the industry profile of the Retail Media Network (RMN) category, to create best practices, and to educate the marketplace on RMN value around: first party data, e-commerce, future of shopping and consumer behavior, ROI delivery, as well as to educate RMN internal teams on the intricacies of digital ecosystem. This initiative follows Vibenomics’ commitment to the new advertising sales channel with the hiring of Oger and the transition of Joe Wickman to Retail Media Advertising Director. 

Vibenomics is eager to announce that it will also have employees sit on the following committees and groups: Measurement & Attribution Committee, Identity & Audience Data Committee, Automation Committee, and the Open Direct Working Group. Multiple employees will be representing Vibenomics, sharing their industry knowledge, and gaining valuable insights within the advertising industry. In addition to committee and group involvement, many employees have begun taking designated IAB courses with topics including digital fundamentals, programmatic, data, digital video, and audio. Vibenomics has previously taken advantage of the IAB’s leading advertising initiatives by participating as a sponsor and presenter at the 2020 Newfronts alongside media giants such as Snapchat, TikTok, Barstool Sports, Facebook, and more.
