Executive Briefing

"What am I missing about how retail media actually operates?"

A session on the patterns that stall retail media deals — built from ten years inside a top-10 retailer, with seven of those years building retail media. Tailored to your specific market position and your customers. Designed for your leadership team.

What You Walk Away With

A clear read on the operating dynamics affecting your partnerships, a one-page summary of key patterns identified, and — if there's a fit — a recommendation for what to look at next.

Engagement Model

Single session. No ongoing commitment required.

Strategy Review

"Are we reading the situation correctly?"

A focused diagnosis of your retail media strategy, go-to-market execution, or implementation — from ten years inside a top-10 retailer, with seven building retail media. A specific read on what's creating friction in your deals, your renewals, or your customer adoption.

What You Walk Away With

A written assessment with findings, pattern analysis, and specific recommendations. Plus a working session to walk through the analysis and align on next steps.

Engagement Model

Scoped after an initial conversation.

Let's scope it

Readiness Assessment

"Where is the friction in our implementation?"

A two-part diagnostic. First: an onboarding engagement that builds a readiness rubric for your platform — evaluating data quality, process maturity, organizational alignment, and systems integration. Second: a per-deal audit applied before or during implementation to map what's impacting adoption inside your retailer customers.

What You Walk Away With

A readiness rubric tailored to your platform. For each audit: a structured roadmap so you can fix the process, not just the product.

Engagement Model

Scoped per engagement. Can be delivered directly or embedded into your customer implementation process.

Strategic Advisory

"Do I have the right thinking partner for what's ahead?"

Ongoing access to operator-level judgment through scheduled sessions and on-demand advisory. For the decisions that don't wait for the next meeting.

What You Walk Away With

Monthly or biweekly strategic sessions, plus access between sessions when a situation requires real-time judgment.

Engagement Model

3, 6, or 9-month commitment. Limited to a small number of concurrent clients.
