We turned to Stephanie Dorman, Chief Customer Officer at Mediaocean. Stephanie is a veteran of the ad-tech industry and has been watching the changes for women in the industry. Formerly as Chief People Officer at Mediaocean, she has lead many innovative programs to make the companyâs workforce more diverse.
There has been improvement for women, with more gender balance, she says, yet many challenges remain for women i the workplace including their primary role of care giver. She speaks to how that role has been amplified during the pandemic.
One thing that is not talked about is the impact of menopause. Itâs a key factor Stephanie says, and is important to be addressed in finding a productive, nurturing workplace.

Advertising on ecommerce sites is a high-growth segment of digital media as marketers seek to reach digital shoppers closer to the point of sale. Amazon, Walmart, Target, Albertsons, Kroger, Best Buy and Macy's are among the retailers that sell online ad space on their websites. Instead of being categorized as a type of âperformance mediaâ that includes in-store promotions, retail media networks have emerged as their own category.
In this episode of the Beetcast, two experts discuss the promise of retail media networks:
Jess Huang, partner at consulting firm McKinsey & Co., says retailers soon will sell $100 billion a year of ads on their websites â a âwin-win-winâ situation for retailers, brands and consumers.
Brian Gleason, the global chief commercial officer of WPP's GroupM who is joining software firm Criteo as chief revenue officer, says retail media is a growth engine in digital advertising. -
Roku this month began offering marketers a new kind of guarantee that theyâre reaching target audiences through its streaming network, which has 50 million active accounts in the United States. Its OneView programmatic ad-buying platform now has Nielsenâs Digital Ad Ratings (DAR) audience guarantees â the first for TV streaming.
âIt allows them [media buyers] to see audience overlaps across every major device, channel and publisher â and effectively maximizes their return on investment,â Louqman Parampath, vice president of advertising product management at Roku, said in this #BeetCast discussion with consultant Jon Watts.
Parampath also discusses Roku's plans for continuing to build out its advertising platform through partnerships with other measurement companies and technology providers.

Retailers have made a bigger push into the digital advertising market as brands seek to reach consumers when theyâre most ready to shop, or to engage target audiences based on other data signals. Amazon has led this growth, becoming the third-biggest digital ad platform after Google and Facebook, while retail chains as varied as Walmart, Target, CVS, Macy's, Albertsons, Kroger and Walgreens also have entered the market.
âBecause a retailer owns the point of sale and has a broad physical footprint, in theory they have superior data assets,â Andrew Ruegger, global president of commerce at WPPâs GroupM, said in this #BeetCast interview. âThey have loyalty programs, but they have a high volume of transactions â so, itâs refreshed and accurate.â
Ruegger discusses the advantages and disadvantages of retail media channels, and how marketers can potentially participate in data-driven strategies to reach online consumers at all parts of the purchase funnel. The lower-funnel activities include shoppable video and interacting with customers on social media apps such as Snapchat.

Livestreamed shopping videos that let viewers buy products in real time are becoming more popular as the ecommerce marketplace continues to evolve. Social media companies including Twitter are developing more tools to help merchants create a shopping livestream to convert viewers into paying customers.
âLooking at the market overall, commerce on mobile is actually expected to double by the year 2025,â Sarah Personette, chief customer officer of Twitter, said in this Beet.TV discussion with Doug Rozen, chief executive of Dentsu Media â Americas. âThe way that we think about it is that our shopping experience essentially allows you to watch and experience video live while also buying and browsing those products.â
Twitter recently partnered with discount chain Walmart on a live shopping pilot. It included a half-hour variety show hosted by singer Jason Derulo, and featured products that viewers could buy directly within Twitterâs app. The company will continue to push into social commerce as its development teams gather data signals from consumers, Personette said.
âLive shopping or social shopping is so new in terms of a consumer behavior today,â she said. âAt the start of covid, there were so many different shopping experiences that were immediately launched and I think we have taken a more patient approachâŠ.Weâre really trying to think holistically about it.â
Personette also discusses social audio, the growth in video consumption on Twitter, and how its programming strategy differs from those of media companies and other content providers.

Welcome to this episode of the BeetCast. I am delighted to kick off our new season in partnership with our good friends at Mediaocean.
I was sorry to miss so many of our colleagues at CES last week. Another essential event impacted by the pandemic, and we were sorry not not to be there. Very disappointing, but innovation in our world continues on and we are happy to keep our community informed wherever we are are.
We were planning on doing a four-hour Leadership summit at The Cosmopolitan with Mediaocean on Wednesday. But, of course, that could not happen, so we pivoted to a live webcast. I am happy to say it was well produced and attended. If you missed it, you can find the full program on the Mediaocean site this week. We will publish several excerpted segment on Beet.TV in the days and weeks ahead, long with many more videos produced outside the summit.
Leading off the leadership event during CES was Rishad Tobaccowala, the noted futurist and author. Later the week, we caught up with Rishad for this fascinating interview about the future of marketing, media, creativity, and the changes in the agency business. Fascinating conversation about Web 3.0 and the promise of greater "democratized" creative tools and plaforms.
Huge thanks to my colleague Jon Watts for interviewing Rishad.
Thank you Rishad for sharing you insights with us. We are most grateful.
Thanks to our podcast sponsor Mediaocean and thank you for listening. I hope you enjoy the episode.

Measurement in an omni-channel media world is increasing complex with the changes in cookies, mobile identifiers and new privacy regulation. But what is he personal, unbiased impact of advertising? For GroupM's Mindshare, it's about measuring "empathy" as registered by biometric feed back.
It's called the NeuroLab and it's the the largest longitudinal panel in the United States of its kind, says Shane McAndrew, Mindshare's Global Chief Data Strategy & Analytics Officer. Launched in 2019, it has reached "empathy in scale," he tells me in this podcast interview.
NeuroLab uses medical-grade EEG (electroencephalogram) and GSR (galvanic skin response) technology to measure second-by-second, non-conscious neurological responses to brand stories and media. The NeuroLab supplements the data from these neurological responses with pre-and-post Implicit Association Tasks (implicit bias testing), as well as quantitative survey responses.
We also cover data privacy, ethics, "clean rooms," and the use of first party data.
Great conversation.
Thank you Shane.
And a big thanks to our series sponsor TransUnion.

The marketing and advertising world is at an exciting, expansive point. In fact the true scope of the industry is under counted. But it lacks the energy and positivity to grow, opines the longtime agency futurist and best-selling author Rishad Tobaccowala in this wide ranging podcast interview with guest host Matt Spiegel, EVP at TransUnion.
While he is bullish on the building demand for marketing services, he sees problems ranging from the negativity of the industry trade publications to a lack of leadership at the top. All this leads to a serious talent problem, he says.
The biggest marketing opportunity is "data-driven storytelling," he tells Spiegel. In the conversation, he looks to future trends. He offers his advice to marketers to be more focused on the aging population.
The #BeetCast podcast is published weekly on Beet.TV and on all the leading podcast platforms. The series is sponsored by TransUnion.
