Course Overview
Retail media is rapidly becoming the go-to channel for brands aiming to engage consumers with measurable performance along the path to purchase. Retailers are increasingly empowering brands to accurately target meaningful audiences based on their longitudinal purchasing behaviors and execute media impressions across onsite, offsite, and in-store channels throughout the entire marketing funnel. For brand marketers, effectively incorporating retail media into their marketing budgets is essential for growth in today's omnichannel landscape.
To address this critical need, Cornell University has partnered with The CPG Guys, along with leading industry executives and visionaries from around the world, to launch the first-ever Retail Media Strategy program.

In addition, the program covers optimizing brand strategies using AI-driven campaign design at scale to achieve marketing goals.
By the end of the Retail Media Strategy program, you'll have gained a deep understanding of the retail media ecosystem and how both brands and retailers can accelerate organizational transformation to thrive in the future of performance marketing.
