    The Consumer Connections Playbook: Measurement, Media & Modern Marketing (Vinny Rinaldi, Vice President, Consumer Connections at The Hershey Company)

    Vinny, the 'Trifecta' measurement strategy isn't a new concept, yet most brands still can't bridge the gap between brand and commerce. In your experience, what is the most essential first step to breaking down those organizational silos and finally unifying measurement?" How are you thinking about short vs. long term ROI when it comes to investing in brand vs commerce media networks? Especially as it relates to onsite and offsite digital media buys with RMNs. What’s your way to assess incrementality and how hard a dollar is truly working for Hershey’s bottom line? Vinny, you truly put the business first, always thinking about what’s best for Hershey. Can you share a bit about how you’ve thought about the economics regardless of funding source and the depth of your relationship with the Chief Sales Officer? As you think about the future, the rise of more sophisticated commerce media network offering, there is a temptation by many brands to think about 1;1 closed loop measurement. However your philosophy is quite different - embracing the need to triangulate decisions using ROI, signal-based data, and 'control vs. exposed' groups. How have you been able to convince your organization there’s a better way forward…and really modernize measurement with agentic AI Hershey is consistently at the cutting edge of measurement. How does this sophistication influence your media and commerce partnerships?

    The Future of Retail Media Networks, Measurement and AI-Driven Optimization (Regina Ye, Co-Founder and CEO at Topsort)

    You've had quite an unconventional path into retail media — you came in from the vendor side, not from ad tech or media agencies. Can you walk us through that journey and what ultimately led you to building Topsort? A lot of retailers are now a few years into their first retail media network and starting to ask hard questions about whether the technology they built on is actually going to take them where they need to go. What are you seeing out there, and what does it really cost a retailer to get that foundation wrong? One thing that stands out about Topsort is the emphasis on experimentation — real A/B testing — at the infrastructure level. Why does that matter so much, and when you add AI-driven optimization into the mix, what do you think a retail media network starts to look like that's genuinely different from what most people are running today? From the brand side, there's a lot of budget flowing into retail media right now but also a lot of frustration. What are CPG brands asking for that most networks still can't deliver — and how should brand leaders be thinking about holding their retail partners accountable in a way that's different from how they evaluated trade spend? With Amazon, Walmart, and Instacart continuing to mature as networks, there's a real question about whether mid-market and regional retailers can stay competitive for brand dollars. What's your honest view on where this market goes — and where do you think independent RMNs actually have a structural advantage?
