introducing the retail media scan: how ready are you to scale retail media?

Retail media is transforming retail strategy. Discover your retail media maturity with Adhese’s free, expert-built tool and get your roadmap to scalable success.

Retail media is booming — but is your organisation ready to grow with it?
Whether you’re a retail giant or a growing player, understanding your retail media maturity can help you unlock new revenue streams, optimise operations, and stay ahead of the curve. That’s why we created the Retail Media Scan — a free, expert-built tool to help you benchmark where you stand and what you should do next.

why retail media readiness matters

The landscape is shifting fast. Retailers who act now can tap into:

  • New revenue streams from brand partners and suppliers
  • Better use of data, loyalty programs, and digital channels
  • Closer relationships with advertisers who want real reach and retail-specific ROI

But being active in retail media isn’t the same as being ready to scale. Many retailers find themselves running early campaigns without the structure, team setup, or metrics to make it sustainable.

the retail media scan: what you’ll learn

The Retail Media Scan is a short but powerful diagnostic — built to help retailers understand where they stand today and how to grow smarter.

After answering a few quick questions, you’ll get more than a snapshot. You’ll receive:

  • A tailored profile of your current retail media maturity (Crawl, Walk, or Run)
  • Key strengths and current roadblocks
  • Strategic, actionable next steps to future-proof your media operation — operationally and technically
  • An opportunity to engage in a tailored consultancy program, where Adhese and its trusted partners can support your next move — whether it’s platform advice, team setup, or scaling execution

Whether you’re exploring your first campaigns or scaling an established setup, the scan helps you align stakeholders, spot gaps, and choose the right strategic path — including tech and partner support if needed.

why we built it

At Adhese, we work with retailers around the world — from early-stage innovators to enterprise brands. One thing is clear: no two retail media journeys are the same. Some have screens in-store and loyalty data ready to go. Others are still building the business case internally.

The scan was born out of dozens of strategy sessions and client conversations. We saw a pattern: teams often needed a clear benchmark, fast answers to where they stand today, and tailored next steps they could align their teams around.

So we built it.
