Day 1, Monday, March 9

9:00 AM Keynote Panel: Building a Holistic Commerce Media Strategy That Achieves Cross-Team Success

The biggest barrier to success isn't budget or technology, it's organizational disfunction. This panel explores how brand leaders have cracked the code on cross-functional collaboration, transforming siloed teams into unified commerce media powerhouses. You'll hear battle-tested strategies for aligning brand, trade, sales, and eCommerce teams around shared KPIs and common goals. These frameworks aren’t just theoretical but real solutions from practitioners who've navigated internal politics, competing priorities, and budget battles to create commerce media strategies that work across every department.


Objectives:
  • Creating Commerce Media champions by improving negotiating tactics with your finance and sales teams
  • Organizational design principles that eliminate silos and create seamless collaboration between previously competing departments
  • Communication strategies that translate commerce media wins into language every stakeholder understands and values
