Walmart to Expand Retail Media Reach With Planned Vibe.co Partnership

A planned deal with Vibe.co is expected to help make streaming TV advertising buying easier for Walmart’s small-business and marketplace partners, with the potential to deepen how Walmart Connect monetizes retail audiences.

Walmart is moving to expand the reach of its retail media platform through a planned partnership with, according to a report published by Yahoo Finance on June 24, 2026.

Retail media refers to advertising space and software tied to retail platforms, where brands pay to show ads that connect to shopping intent. Walmart’s version, Walmart Connect, is the channel that helps businesses buy ads across Walmart’s digital properties and related surfaces.

The Yahoo Finance report said the deal is likely to boost Walmart Connect by making streaming television ads easier to buy, particularly for smaller advertisers and sellers operating in Walmart’s marketplace. Marketplace sellers are third-party businesses that list and sell products through Walmart’s online store, and Walmart positions them as part of its advertising ecosystem.

While the report frames the arrangement as a way to extend Walmart’s advertising capabilities into streaming TV, it did not provide specific operational details such as timing, contract size, or how the ad workflow would be integrated into Walmart Connect. Walmart also did not disclose in the Yahoo Finance post what product configurations, targeting methods, or measurement terms would be included.

The strategic logic is straightforward: streaming TV is a fast-growing format for advertisers seeking broader reach beyond desktop and mobile. Retail media platforms, meanwhile, are increasingly seen as a bridge between ad exposure and commerce outcomes. If Walmart can reduce the complexity of buying streaming TV campaigns for smaller sellers, it may lower adoption friction and widen the set of advertisers participating.

For Walmart, extending Walmart Connect into more advanced or accessible ad formats also speaks to the way the retailer is trying to diversify revenue beyond core merchandise sales. Advertising has been a meaningful growth area for large retailers because it leverages existing shopping audiences, data, and onsite engagement.

Still, major particulars remain unclear from the report itself. The Yahoo Finance coverage did not specify whether the planned deal is already signed versus in negotiation, what geographies would be covered first, or whether ’s role would be limited to ad buying enablement, measurement, or creative and campaign management.

What to watch next is whether Walmart or provides additional disclosure on deal timing, scope, and integration. Any subsequent announcement that clarifies how streaming TV inventory is sourced, how advertisers are onboarded, and how results are reported would help determine whether this is a narrow capability test or a broader expansion of Walmart Connect’s addressable market.

Why It Matters

  • More accessible streaming TV buying could broaden participation in Walmart Connect beyond large brand advertisers.
  • If marketplace sellers can run streaming TV campaigns with less friction, Walmart may increase the overall volume of ad spend flowing through its retail media stack.
  • Retailers are competing to attach measurable outcomes to advertising, and streaming TV adds reach to that mix.
  • The extent of Walmart Connect’s expansion depends on how fully the partnership is integrated and how quickly it rolls out, which remains undisclosed.
