Retail media is the fastest-growing ad channel globally. And it's about to arrive in Bulgaria. What is retail media? It's when e-commerce platforms – like a local marketplace or grocery chain – sell advertising space directly to brands. Think sponsored products, category takeovers, homepage banners.
Why it matters:
🛒 Ads shown at the moment of purchase intent
📦 First-party data from actual shoppers – no cookies needed
📈 Closed-loop attribution: you see what was sold, not just what was clicked
Globally, many large businesses are already doing this at scale. In Bulgaria, the opportunity is wide open – for the platforms willing to build it, and for the brands smart enough to move early.
We're watching this space closely.
Which local platforms do you know are already making their first moves?
