Retail
Retail is a major advertising sector, covering marketing investment by companies such as department stores, supermarkets and food retailers. The retail sector is evolving rapidly due to the rise of online and mobile shopping. As a result, retailers with strong online offers or loyalty schemes are now highly data-driven. Marketing investment by retailers often spikes around key shopping occasions, such as Christmas or major holidays.
