Marketplaces and Retail Media: The Brand Strategy of 2025
Bol.com, Zalando, Amazon, and eBay were already undeniable players, but now we are seeing increasing influence from the East. Marketplaces like Temu and Shein have rapidly risen to prominence in Belgium as channels with massive reach, while TikTok Shop is emerging in the background as the next major player.
In the past, marketplaces were primarily known as sales channels, but today they are increasingly used for brand building, especially due to changing regulations. In 2025, there will be no bigger buzzword than Retail Media.
How should brands or retailers navigate this changing landscape?
Are marketplaces a relevant consideration for your brand strategy? And if so, which channels offer the best opportunities? Should you factor in the influences from the East in your plan?
Steven Van Den Ouweland, co-founder of Distrilink, will guide you through an interactive 90-minute session, where he will discuss the biggest challenges and how to effectively handle these changes in practice.
