Had fun on Bloomberg News Radio with my good friend and colleague from my Salomon Brothers days, Paul Sweeney as we discussed digital advertising, M&A and AI (and more!).

Excited for the Beet Retreat in Santa Monica in just 2 weeks. Andy Plesser and Lisa Granatstein have me hard at work for a total of 5 sessions: an upbeat keynote: Ready? Set. Go!, firesides with industry leaders Kristi Argyilan of Albertsons Media Collective (Commerce Media) and Denise Colella of Adobe (AI) and a breakout session on AI with Lora Feinman of Seedtag. I’ll also be performing my new parody Funny Man at the Gala Dinner on Thursday. I’m exhausted already! #BeetRetreatLA

“In 2023 we almost survived. We’re in the midst of a revival where things are perhaps not as bad as we thought. And, there are many conditions that would suggest we’re in a position to thrive going forward.” At NewDigitalAge’s Foresight event, Terence Kawaja gives an overview of the ecosystem and how companies that prepared for a recession, that didn't come, are now positioned to expand on growth strategies in 2025. https://bit.ly/3NwFsxb

Part One: Terence Kawaja’s New York investment bank LUMA Partners is behind the Lumascape spaghetti maps that try to make sense of the sprawling, connected pipes of the adtech industry. Kawaja thinks consolidation has to happen for the industry to shake the cowboys – “the environment is highly fragmented and that allows people to hide,” he says. That’s code for "nefarious" market behaviour which undermines adtech’s credibility. Kawaja argues a clean digital ad system is more important now than ever if open web players are to compete with big tech, especially as he sees retail media quickly eating a third of open web ad dollars. But consolidation and M&A has been lean of late. Kawaja admits adtech is still notoriously opportunistic and has played a starring role in the creation of some of the problems the market is struggling to address with junk digital data, fake people and opaque trading practices that nobody seems able to solve. Regardless, he sees another incoming wave of tech investment and reckons Google’s global advertising trading system being broken up would have huge financial upside for Alphabet shareholders – and the industry at large. Kawaja thinks Google may even be playing to lose.
