What is agentic commerce and why does it matter for CPG brands?

Agentic commerce refers to AI systems that autonomously research, compare, and purchase products on behalf of consumers, without a human ever typing a search query. By 2030, analysts project up to 30% of retail sales will be driven by these systems. For CPG brands, this means AI agents will choose which products to recommend and purchase. Brands not optimized for AI discovery simply won't exist in those transactions.

How to choose a retail marketing agency

Choosing the right retail marketing agency can make or break your brand’s in-store and omnichannel success. Here’s a structured approach to making that decision: Define Your Business Goals Before reaching out to agencies, clarify: What problem you’re solving (e.g., low conversion, poor retail presence, lack of differentiation). Your desired outcomes - sales lift, shopper engagement, better category positioning, or retailer alignment. Whether you need strategy, creative, activation, or end-to-end retail execution. Look for Retail-Specific Expertise Retail marketing is not the same as general advertising. Look for agencies that: Understand shopper psychology and path-to-purchase behavior. Have case studies showing measurable in-store sales growth or retail activation success. Work across multiple channels - grocery, mass, club, convenience, and eCommerce. Ask for examples in your category (e.g., beverages, food, spirits, or consumer goods). Evaluate Their Strategic Framework Top agencies operate with a proprietary process or philosophy. For instance, Theory House uses a “Trail to Traction” methodology - helping brands connect with shoppers to drive retail conversion. Look for an agency with: A repeatable, insight-driven approach. The ability to turn brand storytelling into shelf impact. Alignment with your brand’s tone, ambition, and category. Review Creative and Executional Strength A great retail agency should deliver: Visual merchandising excellence - packaging, POS, and displays that command attention. Digital-to-store integration - seamless retail media and experiential tie-ins. Agile production capabilities - speed and precision from concept to execution. Consider Chemistry and Collaboration Meet the actual team you’ll work with. Strong partnerships are built on: Transparent communication. A willingness to challenge assumptions. A shared sense of urgency and passion for retail. Ask for references and testimonials from past clients. Demand Measurable Results Ensure the agency tracks performance using: Retail KPIs - sales lift, conversion, display compliance, traffic. ROI tracking across promotions and shopper campaigns. Ongoing optimization based on data, not guesswork.
