Retail Media Report Card – The Mars Agency

The Retail Media Report Card is a public tool designed to give brand advertisers a systematic approach to evaluating and comparing retail media networks. It highlights each network’s strengths and weaknesses in alignment with the specific needs and relationships of the brand. Shared with retail media networks, the report offers valuable competitive comparisons and potential guidelines to enhance collaboration with brand partners. By showcasing the relative strength and sophistication of each retailer, the scorecard helps brands identify industry leaders, emerging platforms, and networks lagging in key performance areas. The Mars Agency has designated 44 of the 78 evaluation criteria as “Table Stakes,” viewing each network’s ability to meet these criteria as crucial to the assessment. The report also offers insights on tactic selection, enabling brands to make informed funding decisions based on the scorecard.
