5) How does The Home Depot ensure a seamless integration of retail media across its various channels and touchpoints and how does it contribute to joint business planning between brand advertisers and your category merchants?
6) How do you measure the performance of retail media campaigns at The Home Depot and are your methodologies consistent with what brands are requiring to shift legacy marketing budgets into your platform?
