    The New CMO Playbook: Building the Modern Day Growth Engine (Aisha Khan, Dentsu Commerce NA; Melissa Burdick, Pacvue; and Don Brett, The CPG View)

    1. How are you and your team at Dentsu helping brands adjust to the collapsed funnel, where discovery, consideration, and conversion can happen in the same session?2. Where does agentic AI fit into that shift, and how should brands be thinking about agentic commerce, media, workflows, and team structures?3. As you build the commerce organization at Dentsu, how do you structure teams so budgets can move fluidly toward what is working instead of staying locked into channels or trade calendars?4. How are brands balancing the need for speed with brand safety, legal approvals, and organizational gridlock?5. When a sale can’t be attributed to one channel, who should actually own the outcome inside the organization?6. With media evolving faster than many brands’ ability to manage and report on outcomes, what does the measurement stack need to look like by 2027?7. Before brands can budget by outcome instead of by channel, what capabilities need to exist first, and are brands ready to make that switch?8. If you had to give a CMO one sentence to put at the top of their 2027 plan, what would it say?

    From Attribution to Action: Making Retail Media Measurement Matter (Liz Roche, Vice President of Media, Measurement & In-Store Solutions at Albertsons Media Collective )

    You’ve built your career across platforms, agencies, publishers, and now retail media. Looking back, what were the pivotal moments that shaped the way you think about data, measurement, and commercialization today? Albertsons Media Collective’s iROAS research found that campaign outcomes could vary depending solely on methodology, with the campaigns shifting from positive to negative based on how performance was measured. What did those findings reveal about the current state of retail media measurement, and why do you think the industry has struggled for so long to align on what “impact” really means? Incrementality has been discussed in retail media for years, but it feels like the conversation is finally shifting from theory into operational practice. What has to change organizationally, technologically, and culturally for retailers and brands to truly measure demand creation instead of just demand capture? The Martinelli’s campaign is a fascinating real-world example — a 33% sales lift, 65% new-to-brand buyers, and $7.45 in incremental ROAS. Can you walk us through what made that campaign successful and what it taught your team about identifying media that is genuinely driving new customer behavior? When you look ahead at the future of retail media, data collaboration, and measurement innovation, what are you personally most excited about — and where do you think the biggest breakthroughs are still ahead?

    The Product Experience Playbook: Winning Across the Physical, Digital & AI Shelf (Simon Angove, CEO of Syndigo)

    When product experience becomes an enterprise priority, where does the transformation typically begin? What needs to change internally—from ownership to processes to ways of working—before the technology can really deliver value? For executives making the case for investment, how should they measure the business impact of product experience? Which metrics best connect these capabilities to revenue, margin, market share, or other outcomes the C-suite cares about? Many large organizations are dealing with years of accumulated technology, fragmented systems, and processes built around different teams and channels. How should leaders approach simplifying that complexity while still keeping the business moving? At the same time, speed has become a competitive advantage. Whether it’s launching a product, onboarding a new retailer, or entering a new market, where can the right product experience infrastructure have the greatest impact on speed and agility? If you were advising a CEO or Chief Digital Officer beginning this transformation today, what would you tell them to prioritize over the next 12 to 24 months—and what might feel urgent but can actually wait?

    Beyond ROAS: The New Retail Media Playbook for Enterprise Growth (Sherry Smith, President of Retail Media at Criteo)

    1. Retail media has become a strategic priority for both retailers and brands, but not every organization is realizing the returns they expected. From your experience, what separates the companies that consistently outperform from those that struggle to generate meaningful business impact? 2. As retail media budgets continue to grow, executives are looking beyond campaign performance and asking how these investments influence the broader business. How should leadership teams evaluate retail media's impact across sales, customer loyalty, category growth, and long-term enterprise value? 3. Retail media has traditionally focused on sponsored search and on-site advertising, but the ecosystem is expanding rapidly into off-site media, in-store experiences, connected TV, and other channels. Which of these emerging opportunities do you believe will create the greatest competitive advantage over the next few years? 4. Collaboration between retailers, brands, agencies, and technology partners has become increasingly important. What are the characteristics of the strongest partnerships you've seen, and where do organizations most often create unnecessary friction that limits growth? 5. If you were advising both a retailer building its media network and a CPG brand investing across multiple retail media platforms, what three strategic priorities would you tell each of them to focus on over the next 12 to 24 months?

    The AI Grocery Playbook: Reinventing Pricing, Promotions & Assortment ( Leon Zhang, Co-Founder & CEO of BetterBasket)

    Tell us about your journey. What led you to co-found BetterBasket, and what did you see in the grocery industry that made you believe there was an opportunity to build something different? Grocery has always been a business of tight margins and complex decisions. Where do you see AI having the biggest impact today across pricing, promotions, and assortment—and where are grocers still leaving opportunity on the table? BetterBasket brings together AI optimization and competitive data. How does better intelligence actually change the decisions a grocery operator can make, and can you give us an example of what that looks like in practice? As AI becomes embedded in more grocery decisions, how do you see the role of the merchant or operator changing? Is AI primarily about automating decisions, or is the bigger opportunity helping people make smarter decisions faster? Looking ahead, what are you most excited about for the future of grocery and AI? And if there’s one idea or takeaway you’d like listeners to leave this conversation with, what would it be?

    The Content Conversion Gap: Why Visual Intelligence Is the Next Growth Lever (Jehan Hamedi, Founder & Executive Chairman at Vizit)

    Once a brand can identify the specific visual, messaging, and creative attributes associated with conversion, what becomes possible that simply wasn’t possible with traditional content analytics? How much can content intelligence tell us about why a consumer chooses one product over another—not just whether a piece of content performed—and where are brands beginning to uncover insights they didn’t know to look for? One of the interesting opportunities is applying these insights before content ever reaches the consumer. How do you see predictive intelligence changing the way brands develop campaigns, product pages, packaging, or other creative assets upstream? Brands are sitting on years of creative assets and performance data. Is there an opportunity to turn that historical content into a strategic data asset, and what could executives learn from looking across that body of work rather than evaluating campaigns individually? If a brand becomes significantly better at predicting what will convert before its competitors can, where does that advantage ultimately show up—speed to market, customer acquisition, retailer performance, market share, or somewhere else entirely?
