(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Globe and Mail, AiOO and TeknaLab.ai made DOOH and in-store retail media buyable by AI agents for the first time, automating the placement of ads in physical retail environments.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if you have a product that wins in-store but your budget is too small to negotiate with every retailer's media team, wait for this infrastructure to mature. Within 12 months, you will be able to run an AI agent that bids for shelf-screen placement the same way you bid for Google ads. The cost-per-impression will drop. The access will open.\nWhat that means for you: We are watching the hardware (in-store screens) and the intelligence (AI agents) converge. Right now, getting your product featured on a digital shelf display in a Target requires a sales call, a negotiation, a contract. Soon, it will require an API and a budget. That is a massive unlock for small brands. But it also means the brands that wait will be fighting for placement against automated bidders. If you have a product that moves, start thinking about how to show up on that first generation of automated retail media when it opens.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Globe and Mail: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/markets/markets-news/ACN/18128/aioo-and-teknalab-ai-make-dooh-and-in-store-retail-media-buyable-by-ai-agents/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you? Your logo, your products, your own private room, priced and ready, in about five minutes.
