On this episode of Modern Marketing and Measurement, I sit down with James Leaver, the CEO & Co-Founder of Multilocal Media, to talk about why curation has gone from buzzword to business driver. We dig into supply-side complexity, the role of AI and humans, and how better data and faster execution help brands move from fragmented buying to measurable outcomes.
We’re in the early stages of a healthy correction. Agents that remain in the demo stage, looking for a problem to solve, aren’t going to carry value. But continued research and innovation are required, and that’s only possible with brands and agencies continuing to persevere and ask the right questions.
Brands aren’t just going to want a lot of versions of their ad out there. They want to know which versions work and why.
Today’s guest is Ross Kramer, Co-Founder and CEO of Listrak, a digital marketing platform for retailers and brands. A unified customer profile is necessary for creating better personalization, but Ross also breaks down how AI agents are changing product discovery, and why being discoverable now goes beyond traditional SEO. As Ross puts it, “computers have eyes,” which means if AI is doing the shopping, brands have some new rules to learn about getting found.
