About
The Event
As Google and Amazon continue to dominate the shopping experience, brands and retailers must come together to find new ways to compete. That’s why in October 2018, we hosted our inaugural conference: New York KnowGo - a one-day event that was all about helping brands and retailers learn how to better collaborate to win.
The event brings together over 250 members of this community of strategist and practitioners under one roof for lively and highly targeted conversations.
Last year’s event was attended by over 120 delegates representing 90 different brands, including 17 of the top 50 US ecommerce retailers.
At this year’s event we will be welcoming over 250 attendees and provide a highly focused agenda with greater emphasis on first party research, strategy, and actionable insights.
At the event, you will find ways to scale up Co-op partnerships, improve site monetization programs and net worth with retail media experts.

NY KnowGO 2019 Agenda
CEO & Founder of Crealytics
Andreas kickstarts our first session by introducing the event and its purpose. You’ll hear first party research, collected from over 100 retail and wholesale senior marketers, as to what’s holding back retail media from achieving its potential. From measurement challenges, inter-company squabbling, and technology limitation, expect to learn how retailers and brands must challenge the status quo in order to thrive and win in this new economy.
What does the future hold for eCommerce retail? We’ve invited four senior leaders at the top of the retail game to share their insights and opinions. Each offers a different perspective. You’ll find a multi-brand retailer, a marketplace representative, an agency CEO and a single-brand specialist. Expect an exploration of how these four pillars of the retail community must collaborate in new ways to compete and win.

Grab and pen and notepad: it’s time to sharpen your skillsets. We run each of these groups in parallel. Just pick the one you’ll find most valuable:
Brands and retailers have used offline “co-op” budgets for over a century. Only now, though, has its online equivalent picked up traction. Digital co-op may be worth up to $42 billion. This breakout panel will educate you about co-op’s best practices, and the tricky topic of measuring spend performance.
What if we told you that today’s SPA programs come with a surprising number of shortcomings? Did you know that publishers face near-invisible challenges that limit your opportunities, or worse yet, reduce profits? And that brand advertisers have a lot more options in terms of channel execution and data exchange than it initially appears? This session will explore how to avoid any beginner pitfalls and maximize your SPA opportunity.
Amazon seems to be making changes to its advertising program at a reckless speed. Many of these promise great results, but how can you be sure you’re getting incremental revenue growth? This session will introduce you to the latest Amazon marketing opportunities, and teach you how to find safe passage through this ever-changing space.
The platform economy continues to flex its muscles. As it does, traditional eCommerce retailers have had to transition across all aspects of their business. But this change has yet to be defined. How can retailers reinvent themselves to take advantage of a new framework We’ll discuss how with the help of several, heavyweight retail experts.
