Identity resolution is becoming standard practice for marketers. More than 90% of survey respondents use identifiers, and more than half (54.5%) say they sometimes, often, or almost always work with multiple third-party identifiers, according to a March 2026 survey of 112 US-based agency and marketing professionals by EMARKETER and Acxiom. Eight in 10 respondents say identity resolution has improved marketing ROI. Personalization tops the list of benefits, with 40.2% reporting measurable gains, followed by attribution and measurement (32.1%) and media efficiency (28.6%). This helps explain why 60.7% of marketers expect to increase investment in identity resolution over the next two years.

Shoppers don't just tolerate screens in the grocery store. In the right spot, they prefer them. That's the core finding from Grocery TV's In-Store Shopper Perception Report, which surveyed 1,018 US grocery shoppers in March 2026 on their attitudes toward in-store retail media. The results draw a clear line between formats that fit naturally into a shopping trip and formats that fight it. That line determines whether a screen earns goodwill or generates friction, and it's the difference retailers need to understand before they build out their networks.
