Starlink's IPO Moment: The European Retail Foundation We Built Together
SpaceX's Starlink is heading toward a public market debut that will put its European business under scrutiny. Here is what that business was built on: a four-month retail rollout across 25 major EMEA retailers - MediaMarktSaturn, Currys, Fnac, Coolblue, Elkjop - that would have taken any in-house team 12 to 18 months to replicate. A firsthand account from the CEO who led it.
RaaS vs. In-House: When to Outsource Your European Retail Operation
Building an in-house EMEA retail team is a major commitment: headcount across multiple markets, distributor contracts, retailer relationships, field sales infrastructure, and the institutional knowledge to run all of it effectively. Retail-as-a-Service offers a different model — and for most brands entering or scaling in European retail, it is the faster, lower-risk path. This is when RaaS makes sense, and when it does not.
Marketing Opportunities in EMEA Retail: The Most Effective Strategies for CE Brands
Consumer electronics brands that outperform in EMEA retail combine omnichannel marketing, hyper-local execution, and sell-through data infrastructure — not shelf presence alone. Brands running fragmented campaigns across Germany, France, and the UK consistently lose ground to those integrating social, in-store activation, and joint business planning into a single coordinated strategy.
The Digital Growth Playbook is Breaking: How Brands Are Rewriting Retail
Consumer acquisition costs have risen 60% and digital ROI is shrinking — but the answer is not pulling back from retail. The brands gaining ground in EMEA consumer electronics are using physical retail as a brand-building platform, not a distribution fallback. Shelf placement at MediaMarktSaturn, Currys, and Fnac is now an integrated growth tool, not a commodity cost.
