Sydney. October 22, 2024: Leading independent media agency, Bench Media, continues its strategic expansion unveiling a comprehensive Commerce & Retail Media offering.
The new offering follows the recent promotions of Sebastian Diaz to Head of Media Innovation and Nate Vella to Brand Strategy Lead, both pivotal roles designed to strengthen Bench’s media and strategy service capabilities -now including Commerce & Retail media – and reflect the agency’s commitment to delivering tailored, cutting-edge solutions for its expanding client portfolio.
Anthony Fargeot, VP of Growth at Bench Media, said: “We’ve seen retail brands struggling to unify their marketing efforts, especially across different Retail Media Networks and other marketing activities. The fragmentation, coupled with data privacy hurdles, often leaves brands without a clear picture of what’s working.
“Our new offering addresses this, providing access to Retail Media Networks and advertising channels that support every phase of the customer journey, from awareness to purchase—whether online or in-store.”
The new offering includes advanced tools to connect online and offline activities as much as technology and data compliance allow, ensuring a cohesive and seamless brand experience for customers.
“Tracking an individual’s entire customer journey may not yet be fully achievable,” continues Fargeot. “However, brands can now leverage tools such as brand lift studies, closed-loop attribution, and path-to-conversion analysis to make more informed decisions.
“Retail Media doesn’t have to operate in isolation, and brands that integrate these insights will definitely gain a competitive advantage,” Fargeot concluded.
