Notable Quotes

“My dad’s a retired tech entrepreneur, so from an early age dinner table conversations were about product releases, IPOs versus acquisitions, and the benefits of product marketing.”

“So, retail media means a lot of different things for a lot of different people. So to be specific, we focused on the highest impact format, and that is sponsored product ads.”

“It’s hard. You know, people put blood, sweat, and tears into these things. But if the market timing is wrong, the competition got there first, or whatever – it’s over, you missed. You have to know when to end it. And those are really hard decisions to make, but they’re important ones.”

“I think it’s really the shift from relying on third-party cookies to first-party data. So first-party data is the data that we give retailers ourselves.”
