Dave’s guest this week is Kiri Masters, who hosts and writes Retail Media Breakfast Club, a daily podcast and newsletter summarizing the latest trends in retail media. She’s also a regular contributor to Forbes’ Retail section. Previously she founded Bobsled Marketing, which was acquired by Acadia in 2022.

Kiri shares why it’s so difficult to find a true definition of “retail media” (3:28), why specific RMNs need to be treated as their own channels (13:48), her POV on the incredible success of Beast Games on Prime Video (21:38) and why data people also need to learn how to tell a story (32:40).
