Retail Media Networks (RMNs) don’t grow in a straight line.

AI in Ad Tech - Evolution vs. Revolution
AI isn’t sweeping through digital media in one big wave. It’s reshaping ad operations in three very different ways — evolutionary changes, true revolutions, and a whole category of “too early to tell.” In this session (recorded at AdMonsters Austin), I break down what each category actually means for people working inside publishers, platforms, and ad-tech companies. We look at: 👉 Evolution: Incremental changes in areas like ad serving mechanics, forecasting, segmentation, and dashboarding — where years of machine-learning investment mean AI is an accelerator, not a shock to...
