Retail media, an arena marked by innovation, rapid evolution, and undeniable economic significance in the marketing landscape, is now being celebrated like never before. Unmade is excited to announce the launch of the REmade Retail Media Awards and the REmade conference program, set to become a cornerstone in championing the brightest and best in Australia’s retail media sector.

Born from Unmade’s commitment to nurturing this dynamic community, the REmade Awards aim to spotlight the gold standard in retail media and commend the individuals who are steering the industry into the future.

The inaugural awards span four categories:

  1. Retail Media Leader of the Year.
  2. Rising Star in Retail Media.
  3. Retail Media Innovation of the Year.
  4. Retail Media Collaboration of the Year.

The shortlisted entrants will be unveiled at the much-anticipated REmade conference, which is tailored to cater to marketers at every phase of their retail media journey. Whether you’re initiating your retail media transformation or fine-tuning your capabilities, the REmade program promises insights of unmatched relevance.

The conference agenda breaks new ground, extending the purview of retail media beyond just the grocery category. Attendees will hear from diverse perspectives, courtesy of speakers from a myriad of retail media networks. Featured are industry pioneers, those who have led retail media’s innovative charge. They will dissect its potential, share their journeys to success, spotlight challenges encountered along the process, share best practices, and predict forthcoming trends.

Marketing leaders from Uber and Booktopia will share their strategies, along with new research and insights into changing consumer behaviours from the IAB. 

The Warehouse Group, Zitcha, OOH!Media and Meta offer a deep dive into the learning gained from two years into their retail media journey, touching upon measurement, the power of partnerships, and bringing together online and offline networks. 

David Jones and Sonder will share the story of the transformation undertaken by one of Australia’s premium retail media brands. 

The opening keynote from international retail media evangelist Colin Lewis will offer a deep dive into global marketplaces like Amazon, packed with actionable insights on how Australian brands can harness this growth. 

The conference brings together the luminaries of Australia’s retail media landscape. Mike Tyquin of Cartology, Paul Brooks of Coles360, and Brandcrush’s Teresa Aprile will delve into the future of retail media, exploring predictions, industry expectations, and impending challenges, and provide the audience with a chance to ask questions.

At its core, this event aspires to unify the retail media community, offering a platform to discuss optimal practices, display stellar case studies, and deliberate on both challenges and opportunities. It’s geared to empower both budding enthusiasts and seasoned veterans in harnessing this dynamic channel’s full potential.
