Columnist Nick Manning returns to the podcast alongside host Ella Sagar, editor-in-chief Omar Oakes and reporter Jack Benjamin to discuss the latest results from Netflix and why Omnicom’s recent acquisition of Flywheel reflects the increasing importance of digital commerce and retail media.
The group also looks at a number of recent industry reports, including last month’s US Association of National Advertisers programmatic study, the IPA Bellwether Report last week and, out this week, the Advertising Association/Warc Expenditure Report and the IPA Agency Census.
