Turn your retail estate into measurable media revenue.

Retailers already own valuable media across their stores, screens, digital channels and other customer touchpoints, but it’s fragmented and underused.

Colateral reveals where media value exists across your estate, activates it across physical and digital channels, and turns it into bookable, revenue-generating inventory.

Your stores = a high-value media network.

Colateral makes your estate visible, actionable, and profitable.

We give you the intelligence, infrastructure, and commercial tools to transform your store estate into scalable retail 
media value.

Frequently Asked Questions

A store-first retail media intelligence platform is a system that helps retailers understand, activate, and monetise the media value within their store estate and connected digital channels.

Colateral is a store-first retail media intelligence platform that turns estate intelligence, including stores, media assets, customer touchpoints, and availability data, into scalable media revenue.

Unlike traditional retail marketing software or workflow tools, a retail media intelligence platform focuses on identifying commercial opportunity, activating campaigns across physical and digital channels, and converting that opportunity into measurable revenue.

Colateral helps retailers generate retail media revenue by transforming fragmented store and media data into bookable, revenue-generating inventory.

The platform works across:

  • Intelligence: Identifying where media value and commercial opportunity exist across the retail estate
  • Demand: Packaging, selling, and managing media inventory to capture brand and supplier demand
  • Activation: Turning media opportunities into executable campaigns


This flexible infrastructure allows retailers to scale retail media revenue across thousands of locations without increasing operational complexity.

Retail media intelligence is the ability to understand where media value exists across a retailer’s estate, and how that value can be activated and monetised.

Most retailers already own valuable media through stores, screens, digital channels, and customer touchpoints, but this value is often fragmented, invisible, or underutilised.

Retail media intelligence makes this value visible, actionable, and measurable, enabling retailers to:

  • Identify high-value media opportunities
  • Activate campaigns with precision
  • Generate new revenue streams from existing assets


This is what turns a retail estate into a scalable retail media business.

Location intelligence in retail media refers to the detailed understanding of a retailer’s store estate, including media assets, formats, audiences, availability, and operational context.

Colateral’s location intelligence maps every store, touchpoint, and media format across the estate, creating a clear view of:

  • Where media inventory exists
  • What formats are available
  • Which audiences can be reached
  • Where commercial opportunities are highest


This structured estate intelligence is the foundation for scalable retail media monetisation.

Retailers scale retail media revenue by using centralised retail media infrastructure that automates intelligence, demand management and activation.

Colateral removes manual processes and fragmented systems by:

  • Centralising estate, inventory and media data into a single location intelligence layer
  • Simplifying packaging, selling, and managing media booking and availability
  • Enabling streamlined self-service media buying for brands
  • Automating campaign activation, governance, and fulfilment


This allows retailers to grow retail media revenue across large, complex estates without adding operational overhead.

Colateral manages campaign activation across multi-location retail estates through a centralised platform that ensures control, governance, and visibility.

It connects planning, booking, content creation, execution and reporting, enabling:

  • Consistent campaign activation across thousands of locations
  • Real-time visibility and oversight
  • Display compliance and governance controls
  • Proof of delivery and execution tracking


This ensures campaigns are delivered accurately and efficiently, with measurable outcomes for both retailers and brands.

Store-first, channel-flexible means retail media strategy begins with the retailer’s store estate and location intelligence, but is not limited to in-store activation.

Colateral uses store-first intelligence, including comprehensive location data, customer context, and media availability, as the foundation for media opportunities.

From this foundation, campaigns can be activated across physical in-store media as well as digital channels and other connected customer touchpoints

This approach ensures retail media is grounded in real-world locations while remaining flexible across channels.

In-store retail media is important because physical stores remain one of the highest-value environments for customer attention and purchase intent.

Retail stores provide:

  • High footfall and engaged audiences
  • Immediate proximity to purchase decisions
  • Rich first-party data and customer context


By monetising in-store media alongside digital channels, retailers can unlock high-margin revenue streams from assets they already own.

Colateral enables retailers to connect in-store and digital media into a single, scalable retail media offering.

Colateral is not a traditional retail marketing workflow platform. It is a retail media intelligence platform designed to generate revenue, not just manage processes.

While workflow tools focus on campaign execution tasks such as approvals or asset management, Colateral focuses on:

  • Identifying media value across the retail estate
  • Turning that value into actionable campaigns
  • Monetising media inventory through demand and ordering


Workflows still exist within the platform, but they support the core objective: turning estate intelligence into measurable media revenue.

Colateral is designed for retailers with physical store estates and valuable customer touchpoints, regardless of how much of their media is currently activated in-store or digitally.

This includes retailers with:

  • Large or distributed store networks
  • Existing or emerging retail media networks
  • Strong supplier and brand relationships
  • Omnichannel or digital-first activation strategies


Retailers can use Colateral to:

  • Apply Intelligence to understand their estate and unearth media value
  • Use Demand to monetise that value through brand and supplier investment
  • Use Activation to deliver campaigns across physical and digital channels


Any retailer with a store estate can use Colateral to build and scale a retail media business.
