🎙️ #2 MS. RETAIL MEDIA ACRONYM COLLECTOR: Retail media has given us incredible new ways to reach, engage and convert shoppers. It has also apparently given us an irrational fear of using complete words.
At this point, retail media is just Pokémon with acronyms: ROAS, DSP, CPM... gotta catch ’em all.
Fortunately, there's always someone in the room who speaks the language fluently.
Today, we salute her.
Welcome to Episode #2 of REAL COMMERCE HEROES, our new firstmovr parody series celebrating the wonderfully specific people, behaviors and absurdities that make our industry what it is.

🎵 REAL COMMERCE HEROES #2: MS. RETAIL MEDIA ACRONYM COLLECTOR
Today we salute you, Ms. Retail Media Acronym Collector.
Most people measure retail media success in impressions and sales. You measure it in how many acronyms you can fit onto a single PowerPoint slide.
(Make the font smaller!)
RMN. DSP. AMC. CPC. MMM. Your team doesn’t know you’re talking about media… they think you're reading an eye chart.
(But I’m nearsighted!)
You've mastered so many combinations of capital letters, your presentations now come with their own glossary.
(It’s in the appendix!)
So here's to you, oh Empress of the Alphabet Soup. Because when someone asks what all those letters mean... you can always answer with another three.
