| 5/12/26 |  How AI AGENTS are changing ecommerce, checkout & product discovery | Agentic commerce is here. And if you work in retail, ecommerce or commerce tech, this is one you need to hear. Recorded live at Shoptalk, Katie Street sits down with leaders from Google Cloud, Commerce, EPAM and PayPal to unpack how AI agents are changing the way people discover, compare and buy products online. We get into Universal Commerce Protocol, AI-driven product discovery, agentic checkout, payments, identity, infrastructure and why your product data is about to become one of the most important parts of your business. Because the way people shop is changing fast. Customers are no longer just typing basic product searches into Google. They are asking detailed, conversational questions. And increasingly, agents are doing the discovery, comparison and decision-making for them. So if your data is messy, your inventory is out of date, your fulfilment information is missing or your checkout experience cannot support these new journeys, you risk being invisible. In this episode, we cover what retailers need to do now to stay discoverable, shoppable and competitive in an AI-driven world.

| 1/20/26 |  How Uber turned everyday rides into high-impact advertising | What happens when you have someone’s full attention for minutes at a time? In this special Marketing in the Madness episode, recorded on stage at our event, Marketing in the Madness Live at The Drum Labs, we hear from Paul Wright at Uber as he breaks down how Uber has quietly built one of the most powerful attention environments in modern advertising. This session goes deep into what attention actually looks like inside the Uber and Uber Eats apps, why “non-interruptive” advertising matters more than ever, and how brands can drive real commercial impact by showing up in the right moments, not just shouting louder. Paul shares: How Uber thinks about “attention on the go”• Why the average Uber journey creates minutes (not seconds) of visible ad time• What eye-tracking research revealed about attentive seconds and recall• Why Uber users are more likely to engage with brands• How journey ads drive lifts in recall, consideration, and sales• Real campaign examples from Pizza Hut, Boots, Armani, Unilever and DAZN• Why creativity matters even more inside functional, utility-led platforms From gamified ads that generate direct revenue, to brand experiences that fit seamlessly into everyday behaviour, this episode is a masterclass in attention-led marketing and all backed by data. If you’re a marketer, brand leader, or media planner trying to cut through distraction, this is one to watch.

| 12/9/25 | Why Follower Count Doesn’t Matter: The Real Metrics Behind Community Growth | The word community gets thrown around constantly but very few brands or creators are actually building one.In this live episode of Marketing in the Madness, recorded at our sold-out event in London, moderated by Sedge Beswick, founder of NXT LVL featuring PerfectTed’s Romilly Bodington and InterTalent’s Alex Segal break down what genuine community really looks like in 2025 and how the smartest brands are building it. What you’ll learn: • Why follower count tells you nothing about community: Most brands confuse reach with belonging. Romi and Alex explain why community is built through connection, not numbers. • How PerfectTed turned storytelling into explosive growth: From packaging to social content, they show how vulnerability and relatability made the brand stick. • The new rules of creator partnerships: Creators are younger, smarter and more intentional and they won’t work with brands who lack authenticity. • Why IRL ‘temples’ matter more than ever: From cafés to run clubs, in-person spaces are becoming the real backbone of modern brand communities. • How to actually measure community success: Impressions aren’t it. Learn what qualitative signals matter and how to spot real engagement. • The rise of niche and micro-creators: Smaller creators are driving higher trust, deeper engagement and better long-term value than ever before. Community is becoming the most defensible moat in brand building yet most teams still chase metrics that don’t matter. This episode gives you the frameworks, examples and mindset shifts needed to build something people choose to be part of. Don't forget to follow our channels for more episodes like this!

| 11/25/25 |  What Contentful’s Data Reveals About Broken Tech Stacks | AI was meant to transform marketing… so why are so many teams still struggling? In this Marketing in the Madness episode, Charlie Bell from Contentful breaks down the real state of AI in marketing - from broken tech stacks and “platform purgatory” to AI hallucinations, stealth integrations and why human judgment still matters more than ever. Recorded live on stage at our Marketing in the Madness Live anti-conference, Charlie shares fresh insights from Contentful’s major report with The Atlantic, based on 425 marketing leaders, revealing what’s actually working, what isn’t, and how AI is reshaping content, creativity and workflow in 2025. What else? 1. Marketing teams don’t trust AI to run without humans:When Charlie asked the entire room if anyone trusted AI to ideate, check its own work and publish content with no human involvement, not a single hand went up. And it’s no wonder - with AI hallucinating everything from fake facts to Google’s early version telling people to “add glue to pizza,” humans are still essential for judgment, truth, and brand safety. 2. Most teams are stuck in “platform purgatory”:Charlie explains how companies are trapped with old, clunky systems. The very platforms slowing them down are also the ones they’re relying on to “fix” their processes.Vendors keep promising that AI will magically solve everything, but as Charlie puts it: putting AI on a failing system is like “putting a £500 exhaust on a £1,000 car.” It looks shiny… but nothing really changes. 3. Stack sprawl is killing content velocity:Marketing teams are drowning in tools: multiple CMSs, disconnected platforms, endless workflows. Some brands Charlie speaks to are using seven or eight CMS systems at once, meaning a simple landing page can take two weeks to publish.The problem isn’t creativity but execution. Too many tools, not enough connection. And AI can’t fix chaos. Enjoyed the episode? Follow us for more real conversations about the future of marketing, content and technology.
