On September 13, 2023, the IAB/MRC released the initial draft of the Retail Media Measurement Guidelines for public comment, engaging industry stakeholders to shape standards that resonate with their practical needs and aspirations.
In January, IAB proudly unveiled the final version of these guidelines, a testament to collaborative expertise and industry-wide consensus. This comprehensive framework is not just a set of standards but a roadmap to enhanced transparency and consistency in retail media measurement.
To further support the implementation of these guidelines, the IAB, in partnership with Boston Consulting Group (BCG), introduces the “Retail Media Measurement Guidelines Explainer.” This playbook is more than a companion document; it’s an actionable guide tailored for retailers, brands, agencies, and technology partners. It translates the complex standards into practical steps, offering key strategies and best practices to navigate the nuances of retail media measurement effectively.
This coordinated release of the guidelines and the playbook marks a milestone in our commitment to driving clarity, performance, and growth in the retail media landscape. We invite stakeholders to leverage these resources and join us in shaping the future of retail media.
