The Twin Forces of Retail Media and PDPs Should Be United, with Amy Sillince, Global Head of Conversion and Carlota Mier, Global Performance Marketing Lead at Opella
Q: How did you start collaborating across digital shelf and retail media, and how long did the process take?
The collaboration began with cross-functional pilots, formalizing roles and building a hub in Barcelona to co-locate teams. It took about two years to mature the model from initial conversations to a scaled, multi-market operation, but early wins came from aligning content strategy with media activation and moving toward in-house capabilities.
