In 2023, the event brought together thousands of e-retail tech leaders from across the globe to exchange their vision and forecasts for the future of online commerce as a whole, and retail media advertising, in particular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quite predictably, the Track Me Fast attended DMEXCO 2023, too, and now that we\u2019re back, it\u2019s high time to share our team\u2019s key takeaways from the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Retail Media Ad Boom Comes to Europe&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the spectacular growth of the U.S. retail media ad market, this niche is finally accelerating its evolution in the European Union.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Namely, in spite of the 3x stronger retail media penetration, currently tracked in the USA, the online retail media offerings in Europe have jumped by almost 40% YoY in 2022 (per IAB Europe reports), with its strong endemic players, like Zalando and Otto, for instance, stepping up their game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quite predictably, some of the key challenges in retail media advertising, like cross-retailer outreach, for instance, remain the same, but most businesses in the industry are optimistic about overcoming these in the short-\/mid-term perspective.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Generative AI Drives Personalization in E-commerce&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As many experts speaking at the conference admitted, the evolution of generative AI tech solutions, in tandem with predictive AI, has started the next chapter in online commerce, making the production and optimization of product creatives (including text, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.censhare.com\/en\/blog\/media-asset-management\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">media assets<\/a> and even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sender.net\/email-subject-lines\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">email subject lines<\/a>) smoother than ever before.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More importantly, combining these with the use of AI-powered predictive tools enable achieving increasingly higher customer engagement rates by creating and delivering entirely new, hyper-personalized content messages to each of them in mere milliseconds. And this is what retail media publishers are likely to focus on heading closer to the Winter Holiday season.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p
