Albertsons Media Collective offers new measurement for advertisers
Albertsons Media Collective launched onsite incrementality measurement using test and control frameworks to show advertisers how display ads drive new sales. The tool provides standardized campaign comparisons and isolates media exposure effects.
This signals retail media networks are moving toward performance-based measurement that CPG brands will demand from all platforms. Agencies should prepare incrementality measurement proposals for Amazon DSP and Walmart Connect campaigns to stay competitive.
Retail media networks are standardizing on incrementality over attribution as brands demand proof of true sales lift rather than last-click credit.
Audit current Amazon DSP and Walmart Connect reporting to identify incrementality gaps before clients ask for test/control measurement.
Develop incrementality measurement frameworks for existing retail media campaigns to differentiate from agencies offering only attribution reporting.

Full Coverage
Albertsons Media Collective, the grocery-store operator’s retail media network, said it has launched what it calls “onsite incrementality measurement.” The retailer described the new offering as a way to provide “clear insight” into how onsite display media drives new sales.
The retailer said the methodology for Albertsons Media Collective’s onsite incrementality measurement “uses test and control frameworks to isolate the effect of media exposure.” That helps it to offer a clear view of incremental lift and enable more standardized comparisons across campaigns, according to Albertsons.
Albertsons said it designed the offering “to help advertisers better understand the true impact of their retail media investments. As brands increasingly prioritize incrementality as a key performance indicator, this solution provides clear insight into how onsite display media is driving new sales.”
In Albertsons’ most recent earnings call with investors in mid-April, CEO Susan Morris called the retailer’s loyalty program “a flywheel for growth.” “It enriches our data, strengthens our media collective and helps us personalize promotions with increasing precision,” Morris said.
“Across the board, loyalty is driving higher lifetime value, deeper omnichannel engagement and a more predictable, resilient revenue base — all essential components of our long-term growth algorithm.” Albertsons’ loyalty program and retail media network play key roles in how the retailer grows its digital sales.
Albertsons is currently 18th in the Top 2000 Database. The database ranks North America’s top online retailers by their annual ecommerce sales and more. Albertsons owns and operates its namesake store, Albertsons, as well as brands including Carrs, Haggen, Jewel-Osco, Lucky, Safeway and more.
