Albertsons Media Collective
Albertsons Media Collective is the retail media network of grocery chain Albertsons Companies, spanning banners like Safeway, Vons, and Jewel-Osco. It lets food, beverage, and consumer brands run on-site sponsored placements, off-site programmatic and social, and in-store digital media against the retailer's first-party loyalty data. Closed-loop measurement ties campaigns to actual grocery purchases, making it a fit for CPG suppliers wanting omnichannel grocery reach with purchase-based attribution.
What it does
Albertsons Media Collective is the in-house retail media network for Albertsons Companies, one of the largest U.S. grocery operators, covering banners such as Safeway, Vons, Acme, and Jewel-Osco. It gives consumer brands a single way to buy sponsored product and search placements on Albertsons digital storefronts, off-site programmatic and social audiences built from shopper loyalty data, and in-store digital screens and retail-media moments. Because purchases are tied to loyalty identities, the network reports closed-loop sales lift, household penetration, and incremental revenue rather than clicks alone. Brands work through managed service or self-service buying, and the first-party data foundation keeps targeting and measurement intact as cookies disappear. It suits CPG, food, and beverage suppliers that want omnichannel grocery reach with attribution back to real basket sales.
Where it fits
It sits at the monetization layer of Albertsons' grocery banners, turning loyalty data and shopper traffic into measurable brand-funded media.
