    This episode of the Performance Marketing Unlocked podcast features PMW's Editor, Robin Langford (2:01), who went out into the industry to try and find answers to the key questions that have arisen in the wake of this latest delay.

  • With Amazon bringing its AI image generation tool to UK shores and doubling down on its investment in AI startup, Anthropic, committing a further $2.75bn to the business, the global e-commerce  landscape is becoming increasingly impacted by AI technology.


    This episode of the Performance Marketing Unlocked podcast features both Robin Langford, PMW's Editor, and Ben Marks, Director of Global Market Development at open-source e-commerce marketplace, Shopware.


    Robin unpacks the Amazon news further, dissecting exactly what it means for small, medium and large businesses alike. Following this discussion, Ben joins the show to offer some expert insight into why AI is becoming increasingly popular across e-commerce and how SMGs can best begin investing in the technology.


    We touch on everything from the importance of hiring people with the right skills and ensuring use of AI promotes efficient scaling, to the need to invest in the technology sooner rather than later and how to expand into new markets.

  • In the wake of our live event PMW Unlocked, which took place in early March and had been monopolising the editorial team's mental bandwidth, we've finally had some time to think about other things these past couple of weeks.


    This episode of the Performance Marketing Unlocked podcast brings together the entire editorial team to discuss some of those things, diving into all the latest performance marketing news.


    We dissect everything from what Google's launch of Meridian means for the broader Marketing Mix Modelling landscape and whether or not Schweppes becoming the first brand to purchase an ad buy on Netflix will be a success, to how brands can use new platforms to connect with the next generation of consumers and if organisational use of AI will help or hinder the data skills gap.

  • Who'd have thought you'd see Richard Hammond on a performance marketing podcast?


    The automotive industry – in some ways like marketing – is seeing more change than ever before which makes DriveTribe's role as content production company even more important.


    DriveTribe was originally founded by Hammond, James May and Jeremy Clarkson, but since being left by the latter two, it has transformed into an automotive media company, in-housing its content, publishing, production and marketing.


    Richard Hammond, Creative Director at DriveTribe, joins the podcast alongside the company's Managing Director, Dave Murdoch to discuss the new face of automotive marketing and how DriveTribe is one of Hammond's 'better' accidents...


    They reveal how to connect with communities, striking the right balance between data and creativity and how good thumbnails and titles drive performance. They explain the irrelevance of follower and subscriber numbers and why brands are looking for partnerships rather than campaigns.


    To cap it all off, the DriveTribe duo attempt the PMW Resell Me a Pen challenge with the task of Hammond's beloved 'Oliver' – the Opel Kadett from the Top Gear Botswana special.


    This episode was hosted and edited by Lucy Shelley, Multimedia Editor at PMW, joined by Joseph Arthur, Senior News Reporter at PMW.

  • Is marketing and advertising a creative industry or content factory?


    Every January we feel that this year will be 'a year of change' but something definitely feels different in 2024, said Perla Bloom, Connections Planning Lead at EA Games and judge for the PMW People Awards 2024. She is joined in this episode by fellow judge Caroline Parkes, CSO at RAPP, to talk about the top skills on a performance marketer's CV in a year of AI, cookieless advertising and creative efficiency.


    We talk about the importance of "flexitarians" in your team, why pitching is the best method of upskilling and how to integrate AI into your role. Looking forward to the year ahead, Caroline and Perla discuss what they want to change and what they would like to stay the same including flexible working to create more equal opportunities for women and being data informed vs data constrained.

  • Amazon's goldmine of data, two elections, one Elon Musk and no more cookies. The countdown into 2024 brings more questions and change for the marketing industry.


    As Google begins deprecating its Chrome cookies, where will the $480bn spent on programmatic go? Will it head into black box walled gardens or into the open web?


    One expert predicts that Musk will sell X by the end of the year, a year that also holds two critical elections for the US and UK. Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount discuss a merger, creating an alliance that will add fire the the streaming wars for Netflix and Disney+ whilst Amazon reigns supreme as the world's most valuable brand in 2023 sitting on top of a goldmine of data.

  • 'Prompt' is the word of the year for PMW Editor, Robin Langford.


    In a year that has been upturned by AI and social platforms, marketing has lost its big ideas, says John Farrell, ex-CEO of Publicis Groupe's SAMS.


    In the final episode of the year, John joins the podcast to chart the evolution of performance marketing from its early beginnings in the 80s, to what 2024 and beyond will look like for the sector.

    He recaps his biggest pitch fail as the Global CEO of D'Arcy and the fraught agency/client dynamic, dissecting the industry's two speed economy. Are agencies are falling behind brands in terms of innovation, stuck using the same processes for the last 50 years?


    To cap it all off, John questions where marketing's 'big ideas' have gone. Do clients not value it as much? Is it too indulgent? Too risky? And to wrap up the PMW Resell Me a Pen challenge with a Christmas twist, John sells what a brand should be to a modern day consumer in 2024.


    But before we hear from John, PMW's editorial team close the year recapping the biggest performance marketing moments of 2023, from AI to social commerce.


    Thanks for following our podcast along this year, it's been an exciting journey and we can't wait to bring you more of the latest and greatest from the performance marketing industry next year!

  • Domino's jumped its online orders from just 50% on the app, to 80% in 18 months. And it is credit to the powerful personalisation of Netflix.


    Nick Bamber, Digital Director at Domino's, joins the Performance Marketing Unlocked podcast to delve into the app's transformation and its users. Like most performance marketers, ex-golfer Nick is a big fan of data and the fresh skills it brings through its people. But he still affirms, "it's a hard field to hire for".


    Nick discusses the importance of making tests "as dramatic as possible" and the triumphs and difficulties of innovation at a large company. Personalisation was key to the app's success and he charts how Amazon used to be the poster child of personalisation but has since been replaced by newer platforms.


    The PMW Resell Me a Pen is once again attempted, with the seemingly easy task of a CD-ROM. Listen on to see how Nick fairs with the (pizza-shaped?) disks...

  • TikTok might have convinced its consumer base, but has it convinced brands and advertisers?


    Still in a challenger position, TikTok is constantly experimenting with new products in a bid to draw advertisers away from its competitors Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. Although thought of more as an organic brand tool, the Chinese-owned app is focusing on its performance offering particularly for e-commerce brands.


    Simon Hofmeister, Industry Head of E-commerce, Global Business Solutions at TikTok, joins the podcast to unlock TikTok as a performance channel. He discusses the impact of trends on e-commerce including #TikTokMadeMeBuyIt and 'cake or not cake', how the app is attempting to create an 'infinite loop' for the user journey and the game-changing importance of influencers.


    Despite the app's success, it's not faultless yet. With measurement challenges and hesitation from other verticals, TikTok is set to attract more brands and advertisers to the platform ahead of the Golden Quarter.


    Plus, Simon attempts one of the most impressive and in-depth Resell Me a Pen challenges yet, with the task of Eurovision!


    Also in this episode, PMW's News Reporter Joseph Arthur speaks to host Lucy Shelley about the TikTok news that has crossed his news desk recently, including the rumoured subscription tier to battle alongside Meta's.
