We surveyed marketing professionals to get opinions from those dealing with three hot topics: Commerce Media, Creative AI, and Media Measurement.
Here, the focus is specifically on Commerce Media. Though the survey respondents were primarily based in the U.S., the findings will likely apply to other markets as universal subjects.
The findings from our Commerce Media survey are a testament to the growing importance of this channel for marketers. It's clear that brands are recognizing the potential of Commerce Media to drive sales, build brand awareness, and reach new customers. We're excited to see how Commerce Media continues to evolve and shape the marketing landscape in the future.
