"The launch of Chesapeake Media Group is a great example of a brick and mortar retailer leveraging their own retail media network to unlock new forms of digital ad revenue to drive sales."

“Family Dollar stands out among retailers for its deep commitment to suppliers and customers – resulting in tremendous growth in 2020,” said Scott Swanson, Aki Technologies CEO. “They clearly understand the challenges that marketers face in today’s landscape – that it takes exceptional, personalized advertising to cut through the noise and activate consumers. We could not be more excited to empower their suppliers with our unique approach to personalized advertising."
