About this episode

Skye Frontier of Incremental joins Road2Retail to discuss measuring advertising on retail media networks. His firm helps CPG brands evaluate and deploy that spending, including finding ways to improve performance after budgets have already been committed. The interview focuses on understanding what the advertising actually contributes to growth.

Skye explains why brands should examine attribution windows and be careful about interpreting ad-attributed sales or return on ad spend. A purchase made by someone exposed to an advertisement does not, by itself, show the advertisement caused the purchase. He also discusses Incremental’s experience with incrementality-based measurement and how brands use better measurement to inform spending decisions.
