    Expedia × Profound | Competing in an AI-Driven Search World // With James Cadwallader and Daniel Shin Un Kang

    We’re living through one of the biggest shifts in the internet since it began: a move from building content for people to building content for machines, on behalf of people. On this week’s episode, Jim Stengel is joined by James Cadwallader, Co-Founder and CEO of Profound, and Daniel Shin Un Kang, Head of Organic and Agentic Search at Expedia, for a thoughtful, practical conversation about AI search, answer engines, and what this shift means for the future of marketing. James founded Profound in 2024, raising $60 million and earning recognition from Redpoint Ventures as one of the most promising private AI companies shaping applied artificial intelligence. Today, Profound works with brands like US Bank, Chime, Expedia, and DocuSign to help them navigate the transition from traditional search to a world of answer engines, agents, and AI-led experiences. After building companies and investing in high-growth technology businesses, Daniel moved from the venture world into operating at global scale. He now leads Organic and Agentic Search at Expedia, where he’s helping redefine how one of the world’s largest travel platforms shows up in AI-powered search and discovery. Together, James and Daniel unpack how brands actually appear inside AI systems like ChatGPT and Gemini, why traditional SEO metrics no longer tell the whole story, and how CMOs should rethink visibility, content, and measurement in an AI-driven world. This episode offers a rare look at AI search from both sides of the table: the platform builder shaping the category and the operator putting it to work inside a performance-driven global brand. If you’re a CMO wondering what to focus on now, this conversation is a strong place to start. — This week's episode is brought to you by Deloitte and the IAB.

    Don McGuire (Qualcomm) | How Qualcomm Turned Snapdragon Into a $180B Innovation Brand

    When you think about the technology that connects our world—the phones in our hands, the cars we drive, the networks powering everything around us—there’s a good chance Qualcomm is behind it. Jim's guest this week is Don McGuire, Global Chief Marketing Officer and Chief Communications Officer of Qualcomm. Since becoming CMO in 2021, Don has helped transform Qualcomm’s narrative, elevating the company from “the tech behind the tech” into one of the most respected innovation brands in the world, while turning Snapdragon into a globally recognized consumer brand. Before Qualcomm, Don spent 25 years shaping the wireless ecosystem at companies like AT&T Wireless, Intel, Kyocera, Leap Wireless, and Amp’d Mobile—giving him a rare, end-to-end perspective on how technology, brands, and markets evolve together. For nearly 40 years, Qualcomm has been the engine driving wireless innovation, from the earliest days of mobile to today’s breakthroughs in 5G, AI, automotive, and beyond. It’s one of those rare companies whose technology quietly powers modern life—and the numbers tell the story: roughly $40 billion in annual revenue and a market cap of about $180 billion. Recorded live at the ANA Masters of Marketing in Orlando and powered by TransUnion, this conversation explores what it truly means to takes to build a brand that stands for innovation. --- Learn more, request a free pass, and register at iab.com/alm Promo Code for $500 of ticket prices: ALMCMOPOD26 --- This week's episode is brought to you by Deloitte, TransUnion and the IAB.

    Joon Silverstein (Coach) | From Legacy to Cultural Icon: How Coach Won Gen Z

    Very few brands have reinvented themselves as successfully, or as culturally, as Coach. On this week's episode, Jim sits down with Joon Silverstein, Chief Marketing Officer of Coach, to unpack the bold transformation behind one of fashion’s most compelling modern growth stories.  Coach is part of Tapestry, Inc., the New York–based global house of iconic accessory and lifestyle brands that also includes Kate Spade. This past fiscal year, Tapestry achieved a record $7 billion in revenue, driven largely by double-digit growth at Coach — a powerful signal of the brand’s renewed momentum and relevance. Joon’s impact at Coach spans more than a decade. She joined the brand in 2014 as SVP of Global Customer Experience, went on to lead digital, creative, sustainability, and North America marketing, and ultimately founded Coachtopia: Coach’s groundbreaking circular sub-brand built with and for Gen Z.  As we close out the year and head into the holiday season, this conversation feels especially timely. It’s about courage, confidence, creativity, and what it really means to build brands — and careers — that stand for something meaningful. --- Learn more, request a free pass, and register at https://www.iab.com/ Promo Code for $500 off ticket prices: ALMCMOPOD26 --- This week's episode is brought to you by Deloitte, TransUnion and the IAB.
