Retail Media Advertising Formats
Supermarket
Advertising

Advertise directly to shoppers inside and outside major UK supermarkets including Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose and Morrisons. Supermarket advertising places digital screens at store entrances, high-traffic aisles and checkout areas, reaching shoppers during weekly grocery missions and key purchasing moments. This format is ideal for FMCG brands, new product launches and promotional messaging with national or regional coverage.
Shopping Centre Advertising

Shopping centre advertising delivers high-impact brand exposure in some of the UK’s busiest retail destinations, including Westfield London, Westfield Stratford, Bluewater, Trafford Centre and Bullring Birmingham. Large-format digital screens, mall-wide networks and atrium placements reach shoppers with long dwell times, making shopping centre media ideal for fashion, retail, entertainment and brand-building campaigns.
Convenience
Store Advertising

Convenience store advertising reaches shoppers in high-frequency neighbourhood locations including Londis, Costcutter, Premier, Morrisons Local and Co-op, as well as petrol forecourts and roadside convenience stores. Digital screens positioned near entrances, chillers and tills influence impulse decisions and repeat purchases, making this format highly effective for FMCG, QSR and on-the-go brands.

Screens

In-store digital screens place dynamic advertising directly within the retail environment, from supermarket aisles to specialist retail and convenience locations. These screens deliver targeted, contextually relevant messaging at close proximity to products, helping brands increase recall, consideration and purchase intent. In-store digital advertising can be deployed nationally or store-by-store for localised campaigns.
Checkout &
POS Media

Checkout and point-of-sale media targets shoppers at the final decision point, using digital and static formats positioned at tills and payment areas. This highly effective retail media format drives impulse purchases, promotional uplift and add-on sales, particularly for FMCG and seasonal products. POS advertising benefits from high dwell time and repeated exposure.
Retail Park
Advertising

Retail park advertising uses posters, billboards and digital screens located within retail parks themselves, targeting destination shoppers as they arrive, move between stores and exit the site. These formats deliver high visibility in car-led environments and extended exposure during longer shopping visits. Retail park media is ideal for automotive, home, fashion and family-focused brands looking to reach shoppers in high-intent retail locations.
