Taking Retail Media Back to School

Retail media might be a relatively recent phrase, but Tesco has been shaping it for decades. Today we will help you think about its potential throughout millions of customer journeys across the UK and how the Clubcard continues to power true value for customers, brands and agencies in creating a truly full-funnel experience.

How are we being more sustainable at our events?

We’ve taken steps to ensure we are more sustainable at our events. This includes…

- Opting for fully vegetarian menus

- Re-using our event lanyards

- Opting for suppliers that align with our sustainability goals

How can you be more sustainable when attending our events?

- Where possible walk or travel by public transport

- Make sure when leaving our events that you hand in your lanyard with one of the team so we can reuse it at future events

- If you’re grabbing a hot drink on route – make sure you remember a reusable cup
