AI is no longer a performance enhancement — it’s the architecture.
In this episode of AI: Machine-Made Marketing, Tomas Forsbäck, Group CEO of Readpeak, explains why the next era of programmatic advertising will be built AI-first, content-first, and privacy-first — or not at all.
We unpack how Readpeak was designed specifically for contextual, native, and outcome-driven advertising on the open web, why legacy impression-based models are holding publishers and brands back, and how AI is already transforming creative effectiveness, media workflows, and trust in programmatic buying.
Tomas also shares real-world results from AI-generated creative testing, discusses the shift from attention to measurable outcomes, and outlines what marketers should be rethinking today if they want to stay competitive in an AI-driven landscape heading toward 2030.
If you’re navigating the future of programmatic, privacy-safe media, or AI-powered marketing strategy, this episode offers a grounded, practical look at where the industry is headed — and who’s best positioned to lead it.
