Developed in partnership with global technology, data, and services company Epsilon, Micro Center Retail Media couples AI with person level identity in the ad server to help advertisers engage high intent shoppers with greater precision. The offering intelligently determines when, where, and how often to engage customers, optimizing media investment to maximize performance.

Brands can activate campaigns across Micro Center’s digital and physical touchpoints to influence both online and in-store purchases. Available channels include onsite display and sponsored product placements as well as offsite display, video and CTV—all supported by closed-loop measurement that quantifies incremental sales across digital and physical environments.

“Micro Center Retail Media connects advertisers with some of the most knowledgeable, high-intent tech buyers in retail,” said Rado. “It’s a best-in-class offering designed to help advertisers engage serious tech buyers with confidence.”

Named PCMag’s Best Tech Retailer for three consecutive years, Micro Center is widely recognized for its expert-led customer experience and technical credibility. Instore offerings such as the Knowledge Bar, Insider credit card benefits, and exclusive instore only “loss leader” bundles create high-impact moments for brands at the point of decision. Customers rely on Micro Center associates to identify compatibility issues and recommend better builds—trust that translates directly to advertiser performance.

“Micro Center boasts one of the most informed and intentional audiences in retail,” said Chris Wissing, Chief Product Officer at Epsilon. “Our data and technology help identify more of these niche shoppers, follow their journey from online to in-store, and connect media directly to purchase outcomes for Micro Center and its brand partners.”

What Happened? On March 31, 2026, we learned of an anomaly on our network and launched an immediate investigation. We engaged cybersecurity specialists to assist us in our investigation. Ultimately, we determined that our company experienced a data privacy event involving unauthorized access to our systems on March 31, 2026.

What Involved Individuals Can Do. Generally, it is best practice to remain vigilant for incidents of identity theft and fraud, from any source, by reviewing and monitoring your account statements and credit reports for suspicious activity and errors. If you discover any suspicious or unusual activity on your accounts, promptly contact your financial institution or service provider.

Individuals can further educate themselves regarding identity theft, fraud alerts, credit freezes, and the steps to take to protect personal information by contacting the credit reporting bureaus, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), or state Attorneys General.

INVESTOR ALERT: Pomerantz Law Firm Investigates Claims On Behalf of Investors of Alphabet Inc. – GOOG

Published

By

NEW YORK, Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Alphabet Inc. (“Alphabet” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: GOOG). Such investors are advised to contact Danielle Peyton at newaction@pomlaw.com or 646-581-9980, ext. 7980.

The investigation concerns whether Alphabet and certain of its officers and/or directors have engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices. 

[Click here for information about joining the class action]

On July 16, 2026, Bloomberg reported that Alphabet’s Google is “months behind schedule on delivering Gemini 3.5 Pro, its most powerful flagship AI model” due to the Company’s ongoing coding efforts. Specifically, “[l]ate last month, Google updated the data being used to train Gemini in an attempt to improve [its] skills, but the results were disappointing.” 

On this news, Alphabet’s stock price fell $16.40 per share, or 4.4%, to close at $353.81 per share on July 16, 2026. 

Then, on July 22, 2026, Alphabet released its second quarter 2026 financial results, announcing, among other things, a significant expansion of expected full year 2026 capital expenditures to $195 billion to $205 billion. The Company also disclosed that, for the quarter, it had a negative free cash flow of $5.9 billion. Alphabet further disclosed that “given the supply constrained environment, we plan to expand the use of third-party capacity in Q3 as a bridging strategy,” which “will create modest margin pressure in the near term.” 

On this news, Alphabet’s stock price fell $23.57 per share, or 6.89%, to close at $318.34 per share on July 23, 2026.

Pomerantz LLP, with offices in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, London, Paris, and Tel Aviv, is acknowledged as one of the premier firms in the areas of corporate, securities, and antitrust class litigation. Founded by the late Abraham L. Pomerantz, known as the dean of the class action bar, Pomerantz pioneered the field of securities class actions. Today, more than 85 years later, Pomerantz continues in the tradition he established, fighting for the rights of the victims of securities fraud, breaches of fiduciary duty, and corporate misconduct. The Firm has recovered numerous multimillion-dollar damages awards on behalf of class members. See www.pomlaw.com.
