Shopper marketing, retail media & creative agencies in Northwest Arkansas
As of July 2026, 56 marketing agencies keep a verified Northwest Arkansas office whose business is Walmart's suppliers: shopper and experiential marketing, retail media and e-commerce, advertising, media, and creative.
Rogers is the agency town
20 of the 56 agencies are in Rogers and 25 in Bentonville — a far more even split than the brands they serve, which favor Bentonville. Fayetteville holds 9.
Specialties
Advertising, media, and creative (16), shopper and experiential marketing (15), full-service marketing (14), and retail media and e-commerce (10).
Growth is mixed: of 44 with a headcount signal, 20 grew, 12 held flat, and 12 shrank over the trailing 12 months — consistent with ongoing holding-company consolidation (the July 2026 pass caught Mars Agency becoming Mars United).
