    1. Before joining Glanbia, you spent a number of years working on the agency side. How do you think it helped prepare you for your work at Glanbia? Did it shape how you engage with the agencies that you work with today?
    2. Let’s start to decompose retail media into a number of different capabilities, starting with search. Is search still the most important part of a brand’s retail media strategy?
    3. It seems like every week, a new retail media platform is launched. How can brands hope to manage investments across so many platforms or are some changes that need to take place around consolidation or integration that allows for more automation before brands can think beyond Amazon & Walmart?
    4. RMNs are increasingly promoting upper funnel ad units like offsite programmatic and streaming TV. Are these services currently appealing to brands for investment? What’s keeping these offerings from fully replacing traditional channels like linear TV and print?
    5. What are your guiding principles around partnering with both brand and customer teams in establishing retail media plans?
    6. In-store retail media is another set of ad units that are quickly emerging on the retail media landscape. How do you think about employing these tools from a brand perspective? Is this more of a trade function or should brands be thinking about how to deploy for full funnel strategic activation?
    7. How are you using AMC today? What business strategies are you trying to solve with more data from the retailer?
    8. What industry trends around retail media are you most closely paying attention to right now?

    1. You have been in this tech led Omnichannel space now for a decade plus. What are some learnings for you and what surprised you?
    2. What a wild whacky 4 years for retail media. The large brands have brought out the full budgets. How does a smaller brand like yours compete?
    3. How are you investing your media $ today? Are you leaning on certain platforms and are platforms created equal?
    4. Measurement - what metrics do you look for in a world where there is limited standardization?
    5. How do you ensure your teams are staying abreast of trends and changes in this space? Tell us about the importance of conferences and what matters?
    6. Right now there is coupon craziness - all the digital coupon providers are having a field day. To me this is not sustainable. It’s teaching the consumer a very wrong behavior. That’s coming at the expense of a stalled budget on retail media. What is your advice on retail media budgets go forward?
    7. Can we discuss pieces of retail media - Search, offsite, onsite - banner ads, social. What is considered a good investment - a mix of all or focusing heavily on search like it is today?
    8. Lastly, we always ask - what’s next. What trends are you following and coaching the industry on? What adoption curve are we at the edge of?

    3. What a crazy inflation driven volume challenged environment we are seeing the last 18 months. Are brands responding well? Is media driving value in consumer minds?
    4. Can’t really not discuss retail media in today’s omnichannel retail environment. Love to get your opinion on the state of retail media, data and how it is making a difference for brands - or is it?
    5. Just as media evolves, so should measurement, but I just hear ROAS, IROAS, impressions, its like nothings changed - why? What prevents true ROI?
    6. Digital marketing has evolved heavily to self service. Helping, inhibiting - and what are implications for brands and retailers?
