Excellent insights & guidance across an array of topics in the world of digital shelf & retail media. This podcast has been tremendously helpful to me as we build and start to accelerate our strategy in this area, but I envision this holding a permanent place of value as we move into more advanced phases as well. The podcast strikes a great balance of conceptual/theoretical discussion about the future of the space, as well as real time, in the weeds recommendations to be successful in the present. Hosts, moderators & guests are all a wealth of knowledge!
Best for brand manufacturer marketers
