In this episode, I draw a parallel between the diverse approaches to making bolognese sauce and the varied nature of retail media networks. 

Just as every cook has their unique bolognese recipe, every retail media network has its own way of managing advertising, measurement, and reporting. 

This variety stems from differences in business models, technology, and market positions. I discuss the challenges brands face due to this fragmented landscape, including demands for standardization in metrics and transparency. 

I conclude by contemplating whether embracing this variety might actually benefit the industry, much like savoring different takes on a classic dish.
