According to eMarketer, a lack of standardization across commerce media networks (CMNs) and difficulty integrating off-site retail media are among the top factors hindering retail media growth. 'To be successful today, commerce media networks need to lead with transparency and offer advertisers valuable shopper insights and innovation,' said Rupprecht. 'Instead, the pressure to offer 'all the things' has largely created a sea of sameness. A differentiated data offering, innovation with automation and AI, and demonstrated business impact are required to attract brands in an increasingly competitive market.'
In the early days of retail media, many retailers rushed in with a 'one-size-fits-all' approach to their technology stack. As retail media evolves into commerce media with off-site and omnichannel activations, and advertisers demand more value from their RMN investments, retailers need to 'build with intent' to enable their networks to be flexible, scalable, and future-proof.
'A strong data foundation is required to power the technology infrastructure and ecosystem connections needed for commerce media networks to deliver the campaign performance and ROAS that advertisers expect,' said Bob Walczak, CEO for MadTech. 'Our Commerce Media Centre of Excellence combines strategy with hands-on development to support our partners to 'invest with intent' and architect the right data infrastructure to meet the needs of their advertisers and deliver profitable growth.'
For retailers and other businesses, we remove technical barriers to accelerate time-to-value for your media network with:
Comprehensive Data Consulting: We partner with you on strategy, build, and operations through to value realization.
Data Connection Automation: With MadConnect, our data connection automation engine, we build and manage the integrations needed to power your commerce media business across the AdTech and Martech ecosystem.
Hands-on Custom Development: Monetize your audiences and commerce assets on-site and off-site (including display, CTV, in-store) in weeks or a few months, not years. Build a measurement and reporting flow to capture purchase and customer engagement signals.
End-to-End Support: From foundational audience and supply strategy to ongoing operations and optimization to billing and automation.
For brand advertisers, MadConnect enables connected data for better customer engagement and to prevent missed marketing opportunities and waste:
Unify Customer Profiles: Merge and reconcile known and anonymous user IDs across RMNs and commerce journey touchpoints.
Enhance Audience Intelligence: Enrich profiles with first, second, and third-party data - behavioral, transactional, and intent data.
Enable Precision Targeting: Create and activate audiences across channels and media networks.
Improve Attribution & Measurement: Tie ad exposure to behaviors and purchases for true ROI insights with custom measurement tools to understand campaign performance.
Ensure Privacy and Compliance: Maintain data security to meet the highest levels of regulation, while maximizing data utility.

COE prices slide across the board in Singapore except motorcycles
SINGAPORE — Certificate of Entitlement (COE) premiums dropped across nearly all categories, in the latest round of bidding on Wednesday (4 June), signalling a potential cooling in the car market – but motorcycles bucked the trend with a surprise jump. Category A, covering smaller cars up to 1,600cc and 130 bhp and electric vehicles up to 110kW, saw the steepest dip, falling 5.4 per cent to $96,999 – the first time it's dipped below the $100,000 mark in recent tenders. This marks the second consecutive drop, offering some relief to budget-conscious car buyers. Category B, which is used for larger and more powerful cars, slipped 3.4 per cent to $113,000, while Open Category (Category E) COEs, which can be used for all vehicle types except for motorcycles, dropped 3.5 per cent to $113,900. Commercial vehicle COEs (Category C), which includes buses and goods vehicles, also edged down by 1.9 per cent to $62,000. But not every segment followed the same path. Motorcycle COEs (Category D) climbed 3.4 per cent to $9,000, the only category to post a gain – highlighting steady demand despite the overall downward pressure. While prices remain higher than a year ago, this across-the-board drop (barring two-wheelers) could hint at a stabilising COE market. The COE gives the owner the right to register and use a vehicle in Singapore for 10 years. It can be obtained through an online open auction conducted twice a month. Bidding exercises usually start at 12pm on the first and third Monday of the month, and last for three working days. Each bidding will end at 4pm on Wednesday, if there is no public holiday in between. The vehicle quota in each category will be announced before the start of each bidding exercise. After 10 years, when the COE expires, an owner can choose to de-register the vehicle or renew the COE. Since 1 February 2023, the number of COEs available for bidding in the corresponding vehicle category in each quarter is the rolling average of the number of vehicles deregistered over the previous four quarters. COE prices, of course, can drop – it is dependent on supply and demand. Since 2017, the Ministry of Transport has been freezing vehicle population growth for all categories except Category C for goods vehicles and buses. The current rates will be maintained until 31 January 2028. Singapore is one of the costliest places in the world to buy a car – in fact, in 2022, the Global Wealth and Lifestyle Report 2022, released by Swiss private bank Julius Baer, found Singapore cars were the most expensive globally.
