Why retail media, why now?
Retail media is the fastest-growing channel in digital advertising. Retailers already hold the data brands value most:

Retail media FAQs
What is retail media?
Retail media is when retailers use their own first-party data (browsing behaviour, purchases, loyalty activity) to help brand partners run targeted ads to real shoppers.
With Flow, retailers can safely monetise this data and create new, high-margin revenue streams without sharing personal information or losing brand control.
What’s the difference between retail media and audience monetisation?
Retail media includes onsite and off-site advertising, which includes monetising your audience data. Flow powers the off-site layer, enabling brands to target your shoppers on platforms like Meta, Google, and TikTok using your first-party data.
Do I need an in-house retail media team?
No. You do not need an ad operations team.
Flow handles data activation, audience packaging, secure delivery, and measurement, while your brand partners or agencies run their own campaigns as usual.
How is customer data protected?
Flow is fully POPIA and GDPR compliant; no personal information is shared.
How long does implementation take?
Most retailers activate within days using a single lightweight tag.
