    The 7% CTR That Shocked TV Advertisers. Alex Blundell Jones (LG Ad Solutions) Media Tech Talk #44

    There's a moment on the biggest screen in the home, just before you choose what to watch, that every advertiser now wants a piece of. In part two of his conversation with Daevid Richards, Alex Blundell Jones, Commercial Director, Australia at LG Ad Solutions, looks at the challenge he believes is reshaping the future of television, and what the TV can really offer advertisers in the AI era. It starts on the home screen. Alex explains how LG builds ads into a premium device without annoying the people who paid for it, why some categories have been quicker to get on board than others, and how new creative tools are turning a website link or an out of spec asset into something ready for the big screen. Countdown timers, QR codes and 3D creative all get a mention, along with a few campaigns that literally broke out of the frame. Then to performance. Television was built to sell brands, so what does an outcome look like for a TV manufacturer? Alex unpacks how LG Ads proves incrementally, how a home screen ad can be connected to what a viewer actually does days later, and what it takes to follow a conversion from the TV to the web. Daevid also tackles fragmentation: with video budgets spread across BVOD, streamers, FAST and the home screen, where is unduplicated reach hardest to solve, and how can device data help budgets go further? Finally, AI and sport. Alex tells the story of an advertiser who arrived late to the World Cup with every broadcast package already gone, and the engagement result that followed. He closes with his crystal ball: mergers and acquisitions, an in-home experience that may be hard to fathom, and where operating systems could turn up next. Missed Part 1?

    Why Are Broadcasters Partnering With LG? Alex Blundell Jones (LG Ad Solutions) Media Tech Talk #43

    Streaming has overtaken cable and broadcast in the United States, and the television itself has become something new: an operating system, a home screen, a bundle of free channels and an ad platform in its own right. So can a television manufacturer really compete with the broadcasters for video budgets? Daevid Richards puts that question to Alex Blundell Jones, Commercial Director, Australia at LG Ad Solutions, the person sent from London to open the Australian market from a standing start. Alex starts at the beginning, at Captify in Covent Garden, a startup selling a product nobody had sold before, which he helped take all the way through to an acquisition. He shares the three lessons he took from more than a decade there, and what it was like to lead a sales team when COVID switched budgets off almost overnight. Then to LG Ad Solutions itself: what LG Channels and the home screen actually offer brands, what FAST means, and why traditional broadcasters have started to treat it as a way to grow rather than a threat. Alex explains what travelled from the UK launch to Australia, what had to change for a market that trades CTV very differently, and why price comes up earlier in the conversation here. Daevid also asks how a device maker works with the broadcasters it might be expected to compete with, what the new prominence legislation means for free to air apps on smart TVs, what happened in the UK after similar rules came in, and how LG balances partner-led growth with its own direct sales team. Part 2 is coming soon: what television can really offer advertisers, the fight over the home screen, and whether anyone can solve unduplicated reach. Chapters: (00:00) Cold open: the TV becomes something else (01:52) Can a TV maker compete with broadcasters?

    Digital Twins & Customer Suitability in Advertising. Rob Hall (Parallel) Media Tech Talk #42

    Knowing an ad was served is one thing. Knowing it was looked at is another. But was it the right ad, and did it actually land with the person on the other side of the screen? In Part 2, Rob Hall, founder and CEO of Parallel, tells Daevid why he came back from a year off to start all over again, and reveals the thread that runs from the attention business he sold to the one he is building now. Rob sets out what he believes is missing from brand safety and brand suitability, and why Parallel is built around a third idea: customer suitability. He defines resonance, the metric that sits behind it, admits why he is wary of handing the buy side yet another number to keep track of, and makes the case for taking it out of post campaign reports and putting it on the live campaign. Then comes the how. Rob unpacks what a digital twin of a customer actually is, where the idea has already been put to work well outside advertising, and why he says traditional research simply cannot keep pace with biddable media. Daevid puts the obvious challenge to him: isn't this just contextual targeting? Rob's answer starts with a single question he likes to ask, and builds to why the reason someone is watching matters more than what they are watching. He also explains where Parallel adds the most value, planning or live activation, and what it means to make that call in the time it takes to answer a bid request. To close, Rob looks back: the advice he would give his younger self, how an Australian founder should think about capital when the competition is global, what he is doing differently this time around, and whether younger Rob would even have listened. Missed Part 1? Start there for the Playground XYZ story, from the early sales grind to the decision to sell to GumGum. Chapters: (00:00) Cold open: was it the right ad?

    Starting & Selling Playground XYZ to GumGum. Rob Hall (Parallel) Media Tech Talk #41

    Media Tech Talk #041 - Rob Hall (Parallel) Part 1 What does it take to build an ad tech company from nothing, sell it, and then come straight back to do it all again? Rob Hall has done exactly that. He co-founded Playground XYZ in 2015 on a bold bet that real, measurable human attention could be put on a scoreboard for advertisers, at a time when almost nobody believed it was possible. GumGum went on to acquire the business, Rob stayed on to lead its global data function, and then he did something most founders don't: he stopped, took a year off and travelled. Now he is back as founder and CEO of Parallel. In Part 1, Daevid and Rob go back to the beginning: cold calling out of the Yellow Pages selling gym and pub ads, the phone trick that cracked one of the biggest accounts in the country, and why that early grind built the resilience and solution selling instincts that carried into every venture since. Rob opens up on leaving a stable managing director role to start Playground XYZ with his co-founders, the moment COVID brought the business closer to the wire than ever, and the values-driven call the team made when the obvious answer was to cut jobs. From there the conversation turns to the exit. Rob explains why they chose to sell while the business was still accelerating, the market forces that made the timing right, how an exploratory look around quietly turned into a process, and why, despite a deal he is proud of, it remains the hardest decision he has ever made. Part 2 picks up with Parallel and the big question: can an AI digital twin of a customer really tell a brand what a real customer will do, before a single dollar is spent? Chapters: (00:00) Cold open: build it, sell it, do it all again (01:22) Welcome Rob Hall, calling in from London (02:21) Starting from zero: the early sales grind (04:34) The cold call that cracked a big account (05:46) Resilience, adaptability and selling a new category (06:59) Solutions over analysis paralysis (08:06) 2015: betting a stable career on attention (09:45) What nearly broke Playground XYZ (11:10) One in, all in: a values test under pressure (12:49) Staying hungry: the challenger mindset (15:06) Why sell to GumGum while still accelerating (17:33) Consolidation and competing with the giants (18:34) The hardest decision a founder makes (19:06) Keeping publisher trust through the transition (19:41) How the deal actually came together (20:37) When exploring quietly becomes a process (21:26) Coming up in Part 2: Parallel and AI digital twins 💬 Guest: Rob Hall, Founder & CEO – Parallel https://www.linkedin.com/in/hallrob/ | https://helloparallel.com/ 🎧 Host: Daevid Richards – https://www.linkedin.com/in/daevidrichards/ Media Tech Talk explores ad tech, digital media, AI in advertising, programmatic monetisation, audience engagement, and the technologies shaping the future of publishing. 🏷️ #MediaTechTalk #Parallel #PlaygroundXYZ #GumGum #AttentionMeasurement #DigitalTwins #AdTech #Founders #Startups #MergersAndAcquisitions #Leadership #DigitalAdvertising #Podcast

    AI Agents Making the Deals. Who's in Control? Andrew Mole, Andrew Gilbert (pubX) Media Tech Talk #40

    Part one introduced the agents. Part two asks the harder questions. When software is negotiating with software at machine speed, who is actually in control, and what happens when something goes wrong? Daevid Richards is back with Andrew Mole, co-founder and CEO of pubX, and Andrew Gilbert, pubX Country Manager ANZ, to move the conversation on from what agentic advertising is to what it asks of the people trusting it. Andrew Mole opens up a single deal between a buying agent and a sales agent to show what really passes between them, and why he sees it as the inverse of the bid request. He takes the guardrails question head on, and makes a counterintuitive case about where the real risk sits. Andrew Gilbert pushes back on how publishers should think about handing over control, and explains why Australia's history with the bid stream makes trust the first conversation, not the last. From there, the pair take on the standards question and what agentic could mean for the walled gardens, and Andrew Mole defends the timeline everyone keeps quoting back at him. They look at why ANZ may move later but faster, where agentic goes well beyond display, and close with crystal ball calls on the industry, the independent agencies, and the publishers today's deals have left behind. If you work in publisher monetisation, agency trading, ad ops or media strategy, this is the conversation about what it takes to trust the machines with the deal.

    AI Agents. Buy & Sell Side. What's Next for Humans? Andrew Mole & Andrew Gilbert (pubX) - Media Tech Talk #39

    For years, automation in advertising meant software following rules: bidding, buying, optimising. What is emerging now is something different. AI agents that reason, negotiate and strike deals on your behalf, on both sides of the trade. This episode brings together the two people building that for publishers and advertisers at the same time. Andrew Mole is co-founder and CEO of pubX, his second ad tech company, built on five years and more than a trillion auctions of pricing data. Andrew Gilbert has just stepped in to lead pubX across Australia and New Zealand, after senior roles at Yahoo, Afterpay and IAS and a spell running his own AI advisory. Across part one, Daevid Richards asks what advertising actually becomes when the buying and the selling are handled by machines talking to each other. Both Andrews trace how they got here, why an industry this inefficient was always ripe for disruption, and what a sales agent and a buying agent really do once you take the bid request out of the middle. Andrew Mole makes a call on whether agentic supplements programmatic or eventually replaces it, and Andrew Gilbert explains where the genuine ANZ appetite sits, why every publisher conversation starts from suspicion, and how AI assisted, autopilot and truly agentic are three very different things. If you work in programmatic, publisher monetisation, agency trading or brand safety, this is the clearest look yet at where the supply chain is heading, and what happens to the people who have always managed those relationships. Part two goes deeper into what really happens when two agents negotiate a deal, the honest question of what could go wrong when machines trade at this speed, and Andrew Mole's call on what it all means once this becomes the norm. CHAPTERS 0:00 - The shift no one has explored on this show yet 1:17 - Welcome, and how many Andrews are at pubX 1:47 - Cotswolds shorts and the Central Coast commute 2:44 - Andrew Mole: Platform360, PubGalaxy and founding pubX 5:02 - Andrew Gilbert: Yahoo, Afterpay and going deep on AI 7:14 - Why agentic and AdCP moved this fast 8:51 - The swing back towards the publisher 10:47 - What is pubX, and the problem it is solving 14:08 - Signals agents, governance agents and the new stack 15:21 - Does this supplement programmatic, or end it? 17:12 - Who actually captures the media dollar 18:10 - What a sales agent does on a publisher's behalf 20:54 - Why pubX's pricing heritage matters here 22:38 - The ANZ reaction: appetite, and suspicion 24:53 - AI assisted, autopilot, or truly agentic 26:04 - brands.json and a new level of advertiser control 26:47 - How the buying agent works for an agency 28:15 - Collapsing the pre DSP and the activation layer 29:09 - Wrapping up, and what is coming in part two CREDITS 💬 Guest: Andrew Mole, Co-Founder and CEO - pubX 🔗 https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-j-mole/ 💬 Guest: Andrew Gilbert, Country Manager ANZ - pubX 🔗 https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewgilbert01/ 🔗 pubX: https://pubx.ai/ 🔗 https://www.linkedin.com/company/pubxai/ 🎧 Host: Daevid Richards 🔗 https://linkedin.com/in/daevidrichards/ 🏷️ #MediaTechTalk #pubX #AgenticAdvertising #AdCP #AdTech #Programmatic #AIAgents #PublisherMonetisation #DigitalAdvertising #Podcast

    Google - Agentic Commerce, AI Ads & the End of the Keyword. Alex Storey - Media Tech Talk #038

    Media Tech Talk #038 - Alex Storey (Google) Part 2 Alex Storey, Senior Client Manager at Google, returns to Media Tech Talk to take on the topic causing the most anxiety in publishing right now: zero click search. If the answer appears on the page, what happens to the click? Alex doesn't dodge it. She makes Google's case that its AI features are built to point back at the web rather than away from it, and walks through the newer mechanics designed to keep readers moving through to publishers, including one feature rolling out now that hands control over which publications show up in your AI results straight back to the user. From there the conversation moves into agentic commerce, and Alex's line that Google is the matchmaker, not the merchant. She explains the open standard being built so retailers, payment providers and AI agents can finally speak the same language, then runs a live worked example that starts with a 90s colour blocked ski jacket that doesn't exist yet and ends with an agent completing the purchase on her behalf while she's doing something else entirely. She is also clear about which parts of this are already switched on in Australia and which are still US only, and why one unglamorous piece of retail infrastructure has quietly become the most valuable asset a merchant owns. The final stretch turns to the paid layer and the future. Alex breaks down what happens to search marketing when the manual keyword goes away, and what conversational ads inside AI Mode mean for brands that are used to buying a slot rather than an answer. Then comes the crystal ball. In 2022, a nervous client made a bet with Alex about whether search would still matter a year later. Alex tells you how that turned out, then makes a new bet with Daevid for September 2031, and shares the piece of career advice she wishes she'd taken far earlier. Chapters: (00:00) Cold open: picking up on zero click search (00:55) Welcome back Alex Storey (01:11) What zero click search actually means (01:35) Publisher anxiety and the open web (02:35) How AI responses link back out (03:47) Preferred sources: pick your own publishers (04:57) Agentic commerce: matchmaker, not merchant (06:42) The shared language behind agentic shopping (07:31) The ski jacket test: from prompt to purchase (09:12) Virtual try-on and letting an agent buy for you (10:44) What is live in the US versus Australia (11:20) The retail data that now decides everything (12:10) The advertiser toolkit: the paid layer (13:03) What happens when the keyword disappears (14:49) Conversational ads in AI Mode (15:56) Closing the loop the internet was built for (17:06) Crystal ball: the 2022 bet, and a new one (19:43) Voice, screens and the Star Trek device (21:33) The advice Alex would give her younger self (22:55) What the future of media looks like (23:52) Wrapping part two (24:30) Coming next on Media Tech Talk 💬 Guest: Alex Storey, Senior Client Manager – Google https://www.linkedin.com/in/storeyalex/ | https://www.linkedin.com/company/google/ | https://ads.google.com/intl/en_au/start/ 🎧 Hosts: Daevid Richards – https://www.linkedin.com/in/daevidrichards Media Tech Talk explores ad tech, digital media, AI in advertising, programmatic monetisation, audience engagement, and the technologies shaping the future of publishing. 🏷️ #MediaTechTalk #Google #ZeroClickSearch #AgenticCommerce #AIMax #AIMode #GoogleAds #AdTech #DigitalMarketing #Ecommerce #ArtificialIntelligence #SEM #MarTech #Podcast

    Google - AI Chatbots, Death of Keywords & the Future of Search. Alex Storey - Media Tech Talk #037

    Alex Storey, Senior Client Manager at Google, joins Media Tech Talk to unpack the biggest era of change in search since the search box first appeared. From starting on the AdWords billing desk 13 years ago to leading Google's advertising relationship with Canva, Alex has had a front row seat to a decade of change compressed into 12 months.In part one, Alex takes us back through the eras of Google Search: the story of the very first search ad (a live mail order lobster business in the year 2000), the shift from desktop to mobile, the rise of vertical and visual search, and the 25 billion searches now flowing through Google Lens every year. She explains how AI has quietly powered search for more than a decade, from BERT's breakthrough in understanding conversational language in 2019 to Smart Bidding's 70 million auction-time signals that turned paid search from manual day trading into a predictive engine.Then we address the elephant in the room: ChatGPT's 2022 launch and the obituaries written for search. Far from shrinking, the search pie has expanded. AI Overviews now serve 2.5 billion monthly users, AI Mode has scaled past a billion monthly active users in its first year, and Google is seeing 5 trillion searches a year, with query volume in AI Mode doubling every quarter and queries running three times longer than traditional search. Alex closes part one with a look under the hood at search fan-out, and why one conversational paragraph can now do the work of a dozen searches.Chapters:(00:00) Cold open: the search box you now talk to(01:18) Welcome Alex Storey(01:58) From Nielsen to Google's AdWords billing desk(05:13) Keeping up with a decade of change in 12 months(07:30) The lobster ad: Google's first ever search ad(09:50) Three eras of search: mobile, vertical and visual(12:10) Smart glasses, privacy and augmented reality search(14:24) BERT and the AI quietly under the hood since 2019(16:46) Smart Bidding rebuilds paid search(18:47) The ChatGPT elephant in the room(21:08) The Jevons paradox: searching more, not less(22:54) AI Mode and the rise of conversational search(24:07) Search fan-out: one query, many searches(27:25) Wrapping part one💬 Guest: Alex Storey, Senior Client Manager – Googlehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/storeyalex https://www.linkedin.com/company/google https://ads.google.com/intl/en_au/start🎧 Host:Daevid Richards – https://www.linkedin.com/in/daevidrichards/Media Tech Talk explores ad tech, digital media, AI in advertising, programmatic monetisation, audience engagement, and the technologies shaping the future of publishing.🏷️ #MediaTechTalk #Google #GoogleSearch #AIMode #AIOverviews #SearchAdvertising #AdTech #DigitalMarketing #ArtificialIntelligence #GoogleAds #SEM #MarTech #Podcast
