David Nyurenberg, your article struck a chord with me. It reflects where we’ve been as an industry and, hopefully, where we’re headed. I remember when media planning was rooted in quality and context. Early in my career, I worked on campaigns where publisher credibility was as critical as the creative. We poured over placements, ensuring ads appeared in environments that elevated the message rather than just reaching an audience. It wasn’t about chasing impressions; it was about creating resonance. But somewhere along the way, the allure of hypertargeting pulled us off course. I recall the first time I was asked to justify a campaign’s success using metrics that, deep down, I knew didn’t reflect true impact - CTRs on a subpar site that wouldn’t pass even the loosest brand safety checks. It felt like we were trading integrity for convenience. Fast forward to today, and your article highlights the consequences of that trade-off. Made-for-advertising sites, inflated metrics, and automation tools prioritising scale over quality are symptoms of an industry that has lost sight of its purpose. But as you pointed out, there’s hope. Voices like Hershey’s Vinny Rinaldi and Walgreens’ James L. pave the way for a much-needed shift that values the environments in which we place our messages as much as the audiences we target. This shift feels personal to me. It’s a return to what I first loved about marketing: the balance of art and science and the belief that where you tell your story matters as much as the story itself. The challenge now is to act. To hold platforms accountable. To educate teams on the importance of supply-path optimisation. To champion quality-first metrics. Your article reminds us that change is possible, but it requires all of us to step up. The question is no longer whether this shift is necessary - it’s whether we dare to lead it. Let’s ensure this moment isn’t just a reflection but the start of a revolution. Keep up the great work, my friend. Ivan

Great read from Bill Duggan about the importance of standardization when it comes to retail media networks' measurement. "Retail media networks are walled gardens—they are ad ecosystems that don’t share data—making it difficult to compare RMNs. To optimize investment, marketers need to be able to make apples-to-apples comparisons between RMNs," writes Duggan. #PerformanceMeasurement #Retail #Media #Advertising

I am really looking forward to moderating this session next week. What are we going to talk about? Three big things: 1. The advertiser's crisis! Viewers are disengaging with your ads, citing repetition (42%), oversaturation (40%), and intrusiveness (25%) as reasons to leave them playing to nothing but an empty couch. 2. How to augment your marketing mix to combat this with In-Scene Advertising, a genre that can't be avoided, skipped or ignored - at a fraction of the cost and environmental impact of traditional product placement, yet just as powerful. 3. The huge opportunity this is opening up for networks and creators to monetize their catalog. It's going to be an awesome session - if you're at Ad Week, I highly recommend a visit! #AWNY24
