Dave explains why creative is more important than ever for performance, necessitating that brands become content machines to feed the new AI-driven ad systems with a massive volume of diverse assets. They also dive into the future of LLMs (like ChatGPT) in commerce and the need for brands to embrace profitability and customer-centricity as their biggest growth levers.

Finally, Dave busts the myth of last click measurement, also referred to as "the scourge of e-commerce".
