Albertsons Loses Ad Chief & Bets Big on ChatGPT

Albertsons is making headlines twice today — a senior retail media exit and an enterprise-wide ChatGPT rollout at the same grocery giant. Then Cotswold Outdoor shows Europe how to unify digital and in-store retail media. In this episode: Brian Monahan, former Dentsu executive and head of Albertsons Media Collective, has exited the grocery retailer's retail media network amid a leadership shift under CMO Emily Turner — raising questions about sales momentum heading into Q4. Albertsons is expanding its OpenAI partnership to deploy ChatGPT across enterprise-wide ecommerce strategy and operations, moving well beyond a pilot phase into full organisational integration. Cotswold Outdoor Group has partnered with Broadsign and IUF to connect its online retail media network to in-store digital screens via programmatic DOOH, making it one of the first UK specialty retailers to unify both channels under a single framework.
