About this episode

Emma and Danny Hoffman discuss key commerce shifts involving Amazon and Walmart's strategies in the retail space.

In this month’s episode, Emma and Danny Hoffman, Senior Director of Global Retail Strategy at Flywheel, break down three commerce shifts brands should be watching: what Amazon overtaking Walmart on the Fortune 500 signals about its push to become the everything company, how Amazon’s latest content updates are pushing brands toward cleaner, more AI-friendly PDPs and shopping experiences, and why Walmart’s Google, VIZIO, and Vibe.co moves point to a bigger full-funnel bet on connecting media, stores, data, and commerce outcomes.
