Retail media promises mouth-wateringly precise audience segments based on retailers’ transaction data, but retailers’ own ad inventory is often limited. Pairzon, a retail-oriented CDP, has unveiled a Retail Media Solution that avoids this problem by sharing its segments with Meta, Google, TikTok, and other major ad platforms. It’s all privacy-safe, of course, and includes closed-loop attribution, tying ad impressions to physical or digital transactions.

And what comes after shoppable ads? Glance AI, an InMobi subsidiary backed by Google, does away with ad placements entirely, replacing them with custom fashion recommendations on your phone or CTV home page. Glance’s AI examines consumer-uploaded selfies, scans 400+ online catalogs for fashions that fit the consumer’s personal style, and shows how the clothes would look on the consumer.

CDP Zeta Global has just agreed to acquire Marigold, planning to complement its Retain use cases with Acquire and Grow use cases. Marigold includes various martech businesses serving more than 100 enterprise brands globally. Price is up to $325 million.
