Founder at Grocery TV

When my brother, Connor Nickell, recommended I read "How Brands Grow" by Prof. Byron Sharp, I didn’t realize how much it would shape not only my understanding of marketing, but also become the bedrock of Grocery TV. When we started building GTV, we had a hunch that there was an opportunity to reinvigorate in-store marketing by digitizing it, and in turn, create more physical and mental availability for brands. Andrew Lipsman and I used it as a framework for our recent article in WARC to explain why we view in-store retail media as the new “primetime” for advertisers—a venue for building brand awareness with unmatched reach and attentiveness. In it, we discuss how the store can extend a brand’s reach and boost both mental and physical availability—a nod to Byron Sharp’s foundational principles for brand growth. But, some brands have been slower to start experimenting with in-store retail media or continued viewing it more narrowly as a shopper marketing tactic. The impact of this media channel is quite frankly much greater than we expected when we started the business 8 years ago with the main goal of creating a better marketing opportunity for #CPG brands at checkout. Since then, the value for CPG has been proven with double-digit incremental lifts, and non-endemic brands have jumped on board to drive brand awareness in a high-frequency and reach environment. We're calling on CPG brands to rethink how they approach the store in their media mix. The capabilities unlocked by digitizing this media channel coupled with the continued decline of linear TV have amplified the need to have a strategy for this space. What's your take on digital in-store retail media and its impact on brand growth? Special shout-out to some of the brilliant minds in the industry: Jeff Malmad, Jeffrey Bustos, Peter V.S. Bond, Sri Rajagopalan, Vinny Rinaldi, Daniel Mohnshine, Ben Hovaness, Ari Buchalter, Michael Provenzano, Don “eCommerce” Brett, David Feinleib - I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. #RetailMedia #Marketing #Advertising #Instore

Almost every CPG brand knows, understands, and buys in to the HBG construct and in-store retail media fits the framework perfectly. Especially at a time when true reach is harder and harder to come by, what's holding CPG brands back? It's time to stop letting inter-organizational and intra-organizational dynamics get in the way of marketing effectiveness.

This sums it up quite well: Focus organizational resources on in-store media.  Get creative with in-store creative.  Push third-party measurement to step up to the challenge. Awesome write up by yourself and our good friend Andrew Lipsman. 💙🙏🏼
