Today’s Retail



Get ready to wrap up our Retail Therapy with our panel of dynamic subject matter experts. In previous episodes we learned how important retail is to the overall economy and that our guests all agreed that there is no Retail Apocalypse, only Retail Opportunity.

For our final episode, we’ve asked four distinguished experts to dig deeper and summarize Today’s Retail.

We have been discussing retail on our podcast, and now, we’re approaching the time a year of “no mercy” on the wealth of ads reminding us to shop ’til we drop. So, it’s time to recap our Online Ads That Know You episode.

Jon Brescia and Ayaz Minhas of the Digital Advertising Accountability Program joined us for a 2-part episode which helped demystify how to take control of the online ads we see. On the second episode, they provide tips on how we can own our online advertising experience. Take notes!
