The Blind Spot in Brand Marketing

For too long, consumer brands have been operating with a critical blind spot. While they’ve mastered direct-to-consumer channels, the vast majority of their sales—happening through retail partners—remain largely invisible to them. It’s like trying to navigate a ship with only partial visibility of the waters ahead.

This isn’t just about missing data points. It’s about missed opportunities: the inability to truly understand who buys your products, how they shop, and what drives their purchasing decisions across the entire retail landscape.

The Problem: Brands Are Flying Blind

The challenge for brands selling through retail channels is multi-layered:

• Fragmented visibility – Brands typically only see the small slice of customer data from their owned channels (websites, loyalty programs), missing the 60-70% of purchases happening through retail partners.
• Limited customer intelligence – Without retail data, brands struggle to build comprehensive customer profiles, create effective segments, or identify their most valuable customers.
• Measurement gaps – Traditional media measurement overvalues top-of-funnel metrics while undervaluing what actually matters: sales.
• Inefficient spending – Without real customer insights from retail, brands allocate marketing budgets based on incomplete information, leading to wasted ad spend.

The result? Billions in marketing dollars allocated inefficiently, campaigns optimized for the wrong metrics, and growth strategies based on partial truths.
