Retail media that protects category share, earns the buy box, and actually makes margin - Scope a retail media engagement

Consulting engagement

Retail media networks - run as a P&L channel, not as trade marketing overflow.

Npexpos helps brands and retailers design retail media across Amazon Ads, Sponsored formats, and onsite and offsite inventory - with category share, incrementality and margin as the report card.

Why Npexpos for retail media?

Most retail-media programmes optimise for ROAS the retailer defines. We optimise for your category share, incrementality and margin - with a clear line between defending the brand term, growing category, and winning conquesting.

Share-of-category thinking

Brand defence, category growth and conquesting are separate budgets with separate success criteria - never one ROAS number pretending to describe three different jobs.

Amazon & beyond

Amazon Ads, Walmart Connect, Tesco Media, Criteo, plus onsite/offsite extensions. We choose networks on incremental reach, not vendor pitch decks.

PDP and content as ad fuel

Product detail pages, A+/enhanced content, reviews and storefronts are treated as media assets - upstream fixes that cut wasted spend on traffic that will not convert.

Margin-aware measurement

Net-margin ROAS, incrementality testing, halo on DTC/ecom, and an honest read on whether retail media funded growth or just shifted it.

8

Discrete phases, each shipped with decision logs and owners

The retail media engagement - in 8 phases

Structured like a flagship programme, run as a consulting sprint. Each phase delivers an artefact your ecommerce, trade and media teams can own and reuse.

Category & shelf diagnostic

Share of search, share of category, price position, review velocity and competitor PDP quality - the baseline that decides where media even helps.

Portfolio tiering (hero / grow / defend / exit)

ASINs/SKUs tiered by category ambition, margin and demand - the list that turns "advertise everything" into a defensible investment plan.

PDP & content upstream fixes

Titles, bullets, imagery, A+/enhanced content, reviews and back-end keyword coverage - the conversion layer before we add a single penny of media.

Network & format selection

Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, Sponsored Display, DSP, onsite vs offsite, loyalty - matched to each tier's job-to-be-done.

Bid, budget & day-part strategy

Bid floors by intent, seasonal curves, event-window pacing, and budget fencing between defend, grow and conquest - rather than one pool everyone fights over.

Incrementality & halo measurement

Holdout/geo tests, branded search lift, DTC halo and net-margin ROAS. We quantify what media actually caused versus what was coming anyway.

Operating model & governance

Who owns retail media vs trade vs performance marketing, SLAs, approval flows, and how new retailer networks get evaluated without chaos.

Reporting, scaling & enablement

Category-level dashboards, monthly growth board, and a handover so the in-house team owns the programme without vendor lock-in.

Frequently asked questions

We only sell on Amazon - is this still relevant?

Yes. Amazon-only brands see the fastest gains because there is usually a lot of unrecovered incrementality and untiered portfolio spend to fix.

Do you run the ads or advise our team / agency?

Either. We can run a 90-day sprint operationally, or advise and train your in-house team and agency partners while they keep operational ownership.

How do you price and size the engagement?

Fixed-fee diagnostics and implementation sprints, optional retainer for ongoing advisory. We share scoped bands before kick-off, based on media spend and portfolio complexity.

How do you handle retailer-level measurement limitations?

With honest design. Some networks only give self-reported ROAS - we layer in geo tests, branded search and DTC halo to get a defensible read, and write down our confidence level.

Do you help evaluate new retailer media networks?

Yes. We build a standard evaluation rubric so new network pitches are assessed consistently and fast, rather than eating a month of internal debate each.

Can you train our in-house team?

Every engagement includes enablement sessions for ecommerce, media and trade marketing so the programme continues without vendor dependency.
