Russia’s retail media segment is showing striking momentum, with the share of retail‑based advertising rising sharply in 2024. This success stems from major retailers and e‑commerce platforms integrating their own ad tools and leveraging shopper data to target consumers directly on their platforms. As a result, this form of advertising combining product visibility and performance marketing has grown account of the total advertising market in Russia. The rapid adoption of these formats has led traditional retailers and online marketplaces alike to invest heavily in platforms that allow brands to promote within shopping environments. This approach benefits from first‑party data, AI‑driven analytics, and high levels of consumer intent, which make campaigns more measurable and actionable.

Digital Expansion Across Advertising Channels

In March 2024, the Russian ad market achieved a key milestone in total volume, heralding sustained momentum in both digital and traditional media. This shift is being fueled by more profound changes in consumer behavior, in which online channels now occupy the prime position in daily content consumption. Advertisers are increasingly diversifying their efforts, combining internet-based formats with more traditional media such as outdoor boards and broadcast to drive reach. Among online formats, video, search, and programmatic channels are witnessing increased investment, driven by rising mobile adoption and platform integration. At the same time, conventional media, although shrinking in some aspects, remains relevant for national reach and event-triggered campaigns.

This cross-channel flexibility is a major driver of continued Russia advertising market growth.

Native video and in-text ads are increasingly favored, blending with editorial environments to reach attentive audiences in a seamless way. Advertisers are leveraging AI and first-party data to optimize placements through automated auctions, reducing dependency on international systems. With these tools, campaigns can be managed efficiently across multiple channels display, in-app, OTT video, while maintaining greater transparency and control.
