About retailmediatools

At retailmediatools, we are redefining retail media infrastructure. We provide a flexible, API-first SaaS platform that helps retailers launch and manage their own retail media use cases. Our platform supports various ad formats, including Sponsored Products, Display Banners, Video Ads, and even Coupons / Discounts, across e-commerce, mobile, and in-store touchpoints. On top, we provide a white label self-service user interface that enables a retailer to become a full advertising platform in no time.

According to IAB, retail media is the fastest-growing area in digital advertising, expanding nearly four times faster than the overall ad market in Europe. Our team brings together AdTech, MarTech, Retail, and Media experts to help retailers of all sizes unlock new revenue streams (from small eCommerce pure players to large multi-channel retail groups with thousands of stores).

Our mission is to empower retailers to maximize the value of their digital assets by giving them full control over their advertising solutions.
