Retail media is hard. We make it work for everyone.

Zitcha connects your merchant team, your media team, and your brands in one operating system—with the AI, the data, and the people to get you there at your pace.

Talk to an Expert

Every retailer has an RMN. Almost none can show it moved the business.

Media gets measured in media's terms, leading the merchant to keep asking why 10x ROAS isn't translating into 10x more product off the shelf.

Culture change won't close that gap. Only a tool can.

Zitcha built it.

Merchant Team

Owns Margin & Category

They control what's on shelf, what's in stock, what's on promo. Media often happens around them, not with them.

Skeptical of ROAS — no correlation to what they actually care about.

RMN General Manager

Caught in the middle

Responsible for growing advertiser spend, but trade dollars are increasingly difficult to tap.

Always defending media's impact to the merchant, without having a shared metric that works for both.

Brand / Advertiser

Buying blind

Only 3% of advertisers fully trust media network reporting (McKinsey, 2026). That's embarrassingly bad.

Brands increasingly vocal about wanting better than ROAS to increase RMN investment.

What happens in practice

Trade team plans JBP, RMN consults

RMN team executes campaigns primarily to hit media margin targets - hitting performance targets, if possible

Merchant optimizes for their KPIs - which don’t line up with RMNs KPIs

Finance becomes an unwilling referee

Cycle repeats itself

Where Retail Media Unites with Merchants and Brands

Retail Media Leadership

Responsible For: Balancing the delicate ecosystem between high-margin media revenue and sustainable long-term supplier relationships. They must ensure that the RMN is an extension of the retail business, not working against it.

Keeps (Half of) Them Up At Night: So many things! Where does AI best help my RMN? Brand partners losing faith in standard ROAS reporting while the internal CFO continues to press for increased ad revenue and appropriately high margin targets.

How Zitcha Helps: Our orchestration interface is just the beginning. It not only brings you visibility like you’ve never seen before - but multiplies your sales teams via Margin Manager. Zitcha provides the framework that ensures every dollar of ad spend is backed by a real-time view of whether the transaction actually pays.

Merchant

Responsible For: Category P&L, inventory turnover, gross margin ROI, and shelf-level profitability.

Keeps Them Up At Night: Seeing an RMN campaign where sales spike but wipe out stock, triggers creative merchant solutions, and potentially turns a profitable category negative.

How Zitcha Helps: Zitcha treats retail media as a category management tool. It automatically aligns RMN ad spend with merchant goals, focusing spend on products that move the needle for your P&L.

Retail Media Operations

Responsible For: Scaling campaign execution, managing the technical "plumbing" between retail data and ad platforms, and ensuring cross-functional alignment between digital and trade teams.

Keeps them Up at Night: Spending more time manually stitching together fragmented data sets and spreadsheets than actually optimizing campaigns. Oh, and chasing down Merchant requests.

How Zitcha Helps: Zitcha simplifies the thousands of daily decisions required to plan, execute, optimize, and report on campaigns by using AI to handle the heavy lifting. This "human-in-the-loop" approach keeps you in the middle as the strategic lead, allowing you to scale your value without scaling manual effort.

Brand and Agency

Responsible For: Primarily planning, execution, and hitting sales targets. They need their retail media investment to perform to justify increased investment.

Keeps them Up at Night: If you’re at an agency, you are resource-starved - you need this to be easier. You need a partner with skin in the game. As a brand, you’re asking for more insights and overall better performance.

How Zitcha Helps: Zitcha’s Margin Manager is an insights machine. And like Retail Media Operations, Zitcha’s use of AI is not a bolt-on. We’ve rebuilt the platform from the ground up, infusing AI to simplify operations and reporting.

Built for Category Owners, Not Just Media Teams.

Every role on the retail floor has a different job to do. Zitcha speaks each of their languages. When retailers can see and act on every opportunity, inventory stops being a static list of placements and becomes a live profit engine that drives measurable, incremental margin.
