What's up folks, today we have the pleasure of sitting down with Anthony Rotio, Chief Data Strategy Officer at GrowthLoop.(00:00) - Intro (01:10) - In this episode (04:05) - Journeying From Robotics to Modern Marketing Systems (11:05) - Most Marketing Systems Don't Learn Because They Lack Feedback Loops (16:10) - The Martech Engineering Talent Gap (19:51) - AI Will Amplify Whoever Has the Cleanest Causal Feedback Loop (29:17) - Agent Context Graphs for Drift Detection in Marketing Systems (31:51) - Humans Will Set Hypotheses, AI Will Accelerates Iteration (35:50) - The Evolution of Retail Media Networks (45:07) - How Commerce Networks Redefine Targeting With Governed Data (48:26) - How Agent to Agent Commerce Operates Inside Marketing Funnels (53:04) - Google Universal Commerce Protocol Explained (54:43) - Personal Happiness System (56:30) - Favorite Books Summary: Anthony traces a path from robotics and computer science to his current role where he approaches marketing as an engineering system. He explains how execution-first marketing stacks weaken feedback loops and fragment data, which slows learning and iteration. He introduces the agent context graph as a causality model that lets AI simulate and predict customer behavior with greater confidence. The conversation also covers retail media networks, first-party data monetization through governed access, and a shift toward zero-to-zero marketing driven by agent-to-agent transactions. He closes by stressing that strong data foundations determine who can compete as marketing becomes more automated and agent-driven.About AnthonyAnthony Rotio is the Chief Data Strategy Officer at GrowthLoop, where he leads partnerships and builds generative AI product features for marketers, including multi-agent systems, AI-driven audience building, and benchmarking and evaluation work. He previously served as GrowthLoop's Chief Customer Officer, where he built and led teams across data engineering, data science, and solutions architecture while supporting product development and strategic sales efforts.Before GrowthLoop, Anthony spent nearly six years at AB InBev, where he led a $100M owned retail business unit with full P&L responsibility and drove major growth through operational and digital transformation work. He also led U.S. marketing for Budweiser, Bud Light, Michelob Ultra, Stella Artois, and other brands across music, food, and related consumer programs. He earned a B.A. in computer science from Harvard, played linebacker on the Harvard football team, founded the consumer product Pizza Shelf, and holds a Google Professional Cloud Architect certification.Journeying From Robotics to Modern Marketing SystemsAnthony's career started far away from marketing. He trained as a computer scientist and spent his early years working with robotics and reinforcement learning. His first exposure to a learning agent left a lasting impression because the system behaved less like traditional software and more like something adaptive. That experience shaped how he would later think about work, systems, and feedback. He learned early that progress comes from loops that learn, not static instructions.That mindset followed him into an unexpected chapter at AB InBev. Anthony entered a world defined by scale, brands, and operational complexity. He treated his technical background like a carpenter treats tools, useful only when applied to real problems. Running marketing across major beer brands taught him how value is created inside large organizations. It also exposed a recurring issue. Marketing teams had ambition and data, but execution moved slowly because ideas had to travel through layers of translation before anything reached customers.That friction became impossible to ignore. Audience definitions moved through tickets. Campaigns waited on queries. Data teams became bottlenecks through no fault of their own. Anthony felt the pull back toward technology, where systems could shorten the distance between intent and action. That pull led him to GrowthLoop, where he joined early and worked directly with customers. The appeal was immediate. The product connected straight to cloud data and removed several layers of mediation that marketing teams had accepted as normal.As language models improved, Anthony recognized a familiar pattern. Audience building behaved like a translation problem. Marketers described people and intent in natural language, while systems demanded structured logic. Early experiments showed that natural language models could close that gap. Anthony framed the idea clearly.“Audience building is a translation problem. You start with a business idea and you end with a query on top of data.”Momentum followed quickly. Customers like Indeed and Google responded because speed changed behavior. Teams experimented more often and refined audiences based on results instead of assumptions. Conversations with Sam Altman and collaboration with OpenAI reinforced that this capability belonged in the core workflow. Standing on stage at Google Cloud Next marked a clear moment of validation.That arc reshaped Anthony's role into Chief Data Strategy Officer. His work now focuses on building systems that learn over time. Faster audience creation leads to shorter feedback loops. Shorter loops improve decision quality. Better decisions compound. The throughline from robotics to marketing holds steady. Systems improve when learning sits at the center of execution.Key takeaway: Career leverage often comes from carrying one mental model across multiple domains. Anthony applied learning systems thinking from computer science to enterprise marketing, then rebuilt the tooling to match that mindset. You can do the same by identifying where translation slows your work, then designing interfaces that move intent directly into action. When feedback loops tighten, progress accelerates naturally.Most Marketing Systems Don't Learn Because They Lack Feedback LoopsMarketing organizations generate enormous amounts of activity, but learning often lags behind execution. Campaigns launch on schedule, dashboards fill with numbers, and post-campaign reviews happen right on time. The pattern repeats month after month with small adjustments and familiar explanations. Over time, teams become highly efficient at producing output while remaining surprisingly weak at retaining knowledge. The system rewards motion, visibility, and short-term lifts, which slowly conditions teams to forget what they learned last quarter.Anthony connects this behavior to structural pressure inside large organizations. Quarterly reporting cycles dominate priorities, and executive tenures continue to compress. Leaders feel urgency to show impact quickly and publicly. Compounding growth requires early patience and repeated reinforcement, which rarely aligns with board expectations or career incentives. Short time horizons shape long-term behavior, even when everyone agrees that learning should stack over time.“When you think about compound interest in finance, the early part looks almost linear. People want big bumps now, even if those bumps never build momentum.”Technology choices deepen the problem. Many companies invested heavily in customer data and built impressive data clouds that capture transactions, events, and engagement in detail. Activation remains slow because teams still rely on handoffs between marketing and data groups. A familiar sequence plays out:A marketer defines a campaign and requests an audience.A ticket moves to a data team for interpretation and SQL.The audience returns weeks later.The marketer realizes the audience lacks scale for ne...
Recorded on Recorded: March 24th, 2025 | On this Best of the Bus, Dale Earnhardt Jr. hoped on The Bus again and took the boys full throttle. From his early days rocking the iconic Budweiser colors to the not-so-glamorous reality of having to poop mid-race, Dale Jr. brings the perfect mix of legend and locker room humor. He breaks down pre-race nerves, the mental grind of NASCAR, and what it really takes to get a car into the Daytona 500. The conversation dives into carrying the Earnhardt name, the one NASCAR rule he’d change, and the underrated chess match of “free agency” in racing. Dale also opens up about the pressure, preparation, and pride that come with being one of the most recognizable names in motorsports history. But it wouldn’t be Bussin’ without getting a little off the rails. Dale talks biggest purchase regrets, his obsession with EA Sports College Football 25, and embracing his inner gamer. There’s Bud Light talk, a passionate breakdown of being a diehard Washington Commanders fan, and even some last-minute NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament bets thrown into the mix. If you’re into NASCAR stories, , gaming talk, and classic Bussin’ banter, this episode was fantastic! Big hugs, tiny kisses.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Zappi CMO Nataly Kelly joins to talk about the Sizzle, Systems & Sales Impact of The Super Bowl.The Super Bowl is advertising's biggest stage. $8 million for 30 seconds. Cultural noise at maximum volume. Celebrities everywhere. Music in almost every ad.But once the spectacle fades, one question remains: which ads actually drove impact?In this episode, we unpack the Zappi Super Bowl 2026 report (check it out here) built from testing every ad live with 20,000 American category buyers and benchmarking them against the top 100 performing TV ads in the US.We explore:– Why emotional response alone isn't enough – The role of purchase likelihood in predicting sales impact – How celebrities can amplify an ad — or bury the brand – Why distinctive brand assets (Budweiser's Clydesdales, Nerds' characters) still matter – The Pepsi polar bear debate and what it says about brand memory – How health brands like Wegovy, Hims & Hers and Ro cut through – Why the best Super Bowl ads are part of a system, not a one-night stuntThis conversation goes beyond ranking ads. It looks at what actually moves the needle — and what marketers without Super Bowl budgets can learn from the world's most expensive media moment.

Skywalking Through Neverland: A Star Wars / Disney Fan Podcast
By now you've probably seen the Mandalorian and Grogu Super Bowl "Big Game" commercial, and you have an opinion. In this episode, we break down our reactions, explore what may have led Lucasfilm and Disney to make such a bold creative choice, read listener comments, and deliver a detailed deep-dive analysis. In the weeks leading up to Super Bowl 60, fans expected a traditional trailer packed with story clues. Instead, we got something completely unexpected: a cinematic parody inspired by the legendary Budweiser commercials. The 36-second spot, narrated by the iconic Sam Elliott and directed by Jon Favreau, opens on a sleigh racing across a snowy tundra. At first glance, it looks like a team of horses—but the camera reveals they're actually tauntauns. Din Djarin passes the reins to Grogu as they glide forward together, guided by the galloping creatures. The commercial closes with Grogu gently reaching toward a tauntaun's nose while the narrator reminds audiences that The Mandalorian and Grogu is coming "only to theaters." Unsurprisingly, the fan response has been sharply divided, and we also discuss the overwhelming reactions shared across our social media.

It is a monumental Tuesday as the NDSU Bison officially punch their ticket to the FBS. Host Scott Hennen is joined by athletic director Matt Larson and interim president Rick Berg to break down the "muscle car" transition to the Mountain West, the $17 million move, and why your tailgating experience is about to get a major upgrade. But the headlines don't stop at the goal line. We go behind the scenes of the most talked-about Super Bowl commercial with a fourth-generation North Dakota barley farmer who shared the screen with the Clydesdales. Plus, we tackle the fiery debate over the SAVE Act, the "bigotry of low expectations" in voting laws, and an inspiring look at a local homeschool robotics team that is out-coding the competition. From political absurdity to high-tech student innovation, this episode covers the full spectrum of the Red River Valley and beyond. Episode Highlights [00:01:10] The Bison Leap to the Mountain West NDSU Athletic Director Matt Larson and Interim President Rick Berg discuss the whirlwind 72 hours that made the FBS move official.

Conway takes a hard look back at the 1992 L.A. Riots (April 29–May 3) — the death toll, the arrests, and how massive it really was. With the anniversary coming up. Plus, rain is on the way to Southern California. A fun Super Bowl tie-in: Seahawks QB Sam Darnold’s Orange County roots — and the wild family connection that his grandpa was allegedly one of the iconic “Marlboro Men,” along with why that top-ranked Budweiser commercial is getting so much buzz. Then things take a strange turn online with a viral (and confusing) death-certificate story making the rounds involving comedian/actress Catherine O’Hara — and more chatter about Pizza Hut possibly closing hundreds of locations.

HOUR1 Hour 1 of Rush To Reason turns Friday into movie night as Andy Peth delivers two sharply different 5-Star Movie Reviews—one heartfelt, one unsettling. Looking for a feel-good escape or a nerve-rattling experiment? This hour has both. First up is Solo Mio, a romantic comedy set against the backdrop of Italy's charm. Andy walks listeners through a story of heartbreak, healing, and unexpected connection. It's a surprisingly good choice heading into Valentine's season. Then the tone shifts hard with Iron Lung, a claustrophobic sci-fi horror born from YouTube culture. Andy applauds the lead performance and chilling concept, but doesn't hold back on its flaws. His verdict? Tune in to find out. Two movies. Two worlds. Which one's worth your time?

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITA so-called boring Super Bowl sparks anything but a boring conversation. We kick off with the game itself and the joy of rooting against a dynasty, then pull the thread on why so many big-budget commercials felt airless—except a few that actually said something. From a tight end–driven colon cancer PSA to a moody Kurt Russell spot and the inevitable Budweiser tug, we weigh what worked, what whiffed, and why brand safety often kills memory.Then comes the curveball: we skipped the main halftime and tuned into the TPUSA All-American Halftime set that's ignited online debate. Kid Rock opens with an unapologetically profane throwback, yields to a hushed strings hymn, and returns—this time introduced by his given name—to deliver a revised Till You Can't with explicit Christian testimony. Whether you call it clumsy or courageous, the arc plays like staged repentance, forcing a bigger question: can performance art carry a believable redemption without asking fans to erase the past?Pregame theater wasn't subtle either. Patriots receiver Mac Hollins arrived in shackles and a prison jumpsuit, evoking supermax imagery and leaving everyone guessing—protest, performance, or pure persona? From there, the tone drops into a chilling headline: a fatal deep fryer incident at an Olive Garden that rattled first responders and listeners alike. We sit with the discomfort, talk candidly about mental health beyond slogans, and wrestle with how tragedy haunts familiar spaces.We close on the vanishing of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie and a ransom note demanding “USD,” a tiny detail that has former agents questioning whether the writer is even in the country—or wants to look that way. It's a masterclass in how small words can steer big investigations while the public fills gaps with speculation.If you're here for honest takes at the messy intersection of sports, culture, faith, and crime, you're in the right place.

Greg Belfrage talks to listeners about the Super Bowl and what they thought of the Halftime show in comparison to the Turning Point USA's halftime show. He also talked about the commercials and what the Seahawks coach said after they won. Most of the listener said that one of the only good commercials was the Budweiser commercial and the Bad Bunny Halftime show was alienating to a lot of viewers.

Do you have a favorite Super Bowl commercial? Andy loves “whazzuuup!” plus any Budweiser commercial. Is every man you know a low-T soy boy? There may be a reason for that — it’s all thanks to the testosterone influencer. Andy discusses bias in the media, particularly with outlets like the LA Times. Andy took part in a KTLA Super Bowl-themed relay race earlier today, and it did not go well for our resident soy boy. Here are some of the 101 best movies set in LA according to the list: 101. Babylon 50. To Live and Die in LA 34. A Star is Born 35. La La Land 32. Training Day 16. The Player 12. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood 52. Rebel Without a Cause 38. Licorice Pizza 33. Drive. Heat is at No. 14, while Once Upon a Time in Hollywood nearly cracks the top 10. Double Indemnity is No. 9 Singing in the Rain at No. 8. Boogie Nights is in the top 10 as well! No. 3 is Sunset Boulevard, and No. 2 is Mulholland Drive. So, what’s No. 1? From 1974, it’s Chinatown.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this bonus episode, we're joined by Nataly Kelly, CMO of Zappi, to dissect the data behind the biggest advertising night of the year: Super Bowl LX. While the rest of the world is talking about celebrity cameos and "Free Bird" soundtracks, Zappi is looking at the numbers that actually move the needle. Nataly shares exclusive insights from their testing of Budweiser's "American Icons" ad, revealing a fascinating disconnect between Gen Z's emotional response and their brand recall. We also tackle a glaring missed opportunity in the industry: why women influence 85% of household spending but are still underrepresented in Big Game creative. If you've ever wondered why trying to appeal to "everyone" is a recipe for a marketing flop, this data-heavy deep dive is for you.Key Takeaways:// Entertainment vs. Sales Impact: Why an ad that "wins" the social media conversation often fails to drive short-term purchase behavior—and how to measure the difference.// The Gen Z Brand Recall Gap: An analysis of why younger audiences (under 36) loved Budweiser's 2026 ad but struggled to remember the brand, and what that means for your creative strategy.// The Power of Icons: Why the Clydesdales and the American Bald Eagle drove Budweiser into the 88th percentile for sales impact among older demographics.// The "Female Influence" Arbitrage: Women make up nearly half the NFL audience and control $31 trillion in spending; Nataly explains why giving them only 1/3 of the "speaking time" in ads is a massive strategic error.// The Failure of "Universal" Appeal: Why the most successful ads are those that speak clearly to a defined segment rather than diluting the message to please everyone.// Emotional Peaks and Troughs: How using recognizable music and "timeless" storytelling creates the engagement necessary to keep viewers from tuning out.Connect with Nataly: LinkedInZappi Super Bowl Study, Live Beginning 02/09: The Study____Join the MHH Collective!

Cleveland Kurentovanje Northeast Ohio is home to the largest population of Slovenians outside of Slovenia, roughly 47,000 people. It's no surprise that it's also home to the largest winter festival celebrating Slovenian arts and culture outside of that European country. Cleveland Kurentovanje, also known as the Slovenian Mardi Gras, begins this weekend. Its a multi-day festival that celebrates the end of winter and the beginning of spring. The festival has been volunteer-run for 14 years, and is a program of the Slovenian Museum and Archives, which has a new exhibit part of the festival celebrating the life and legacy of one famous Clevelander of Slovenian and Serbian heritage — George Voinovich, who was a Republican mayor of Cleveland, governor of Ohio and U.S. senator. The exhibit is called "Together We Can Do It!" and honors Voinovich's passion for public service and global cooperation. On Thursday's "Sound of Ideas," we'll learn more about the festival and exhibit by hearing from some of the organizers joining me in studio. Guests: - Suzana Češarek, Consul General of the Republic of Slovenia in Cleveland - Greg Nosan, President, Slovenian Museum & Archives - Kathy Walters, Member, Cleveland Kurentavanje Executive Committee Terry Pluto's new book on the Browns Sports commentator Terry Pluto has a new book out that builds on previous releases "False Start" and "Browns Blues" and arrives at another turning point for the Browns. With a new head coach, a reshuffled team, and a new stadium on the way, Pluto explores the questions fans never stop asking, such as "Why can't the Browns find their quarterback?," "When will there be a Super Bowl run," and "Why does this team still inspire such fierce loyalty?" People may know Terry Pluto from his weekly "View from Pluto" segment with Ideastream "All Things Considered" host Amanda Rabinowitz. He's also a longtime columnist for The Plain Dealer, and formerly for the Akron Beacon Journal. Pluto will talk about his new book, and the moment Browns fans find themselves in. Guest: - Terry Pluto, Sports Commentator & Author, "Why Can't This Team Just Find a Quarterback?” The Menu: Sports Bars Later in the show, regardless of how they're playing, many folks still tune in to watch the Browns each week. And that's good news for Cleveland's bars and restaurants. Whether it's to watch that team win or lose, or watch a Guardians game in the summer, a Major League Soccer game or even just get a basket of chicken wings, the sports bar remains a reliable fixture in Northeast Ohio. But is the sports bar still just cheap Budweiser's and guys yelling at a TV, or is it morphing into something else? On this week's installment of "The Menu," our food series in collaboration with Cleveland Magazine, we'll discuss a new sports bar in Lakewood, just ahead of the Olympics kicking off this Friday, and the Superbowl taking place on Sunday. Guests: - Will Hollingsworth, Owner, Buildings and Food
This episode features a look at the more unpredictable and entertaining elements of the Super Bowl and the NFL offseason. The conversation includes prop betting on everything from the over/under length of the National Anthem—which is 120 seconds—to whether any team will score in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter. They also speculate on the first commercial to air, with a sentimental Budweiser ad being a strong candidate. The hosts delve into the halftime show, providing rumors and insights about Bad Bunny's performance, including a potential costume choice and a major surprise guest, with names like Cardi B and Shakira tossed around. They also analyze the Super Bowl broadcast team, joking about the color commentary. On the Olympic front, they express hope for alpine skier Lindsey Vonn, who is aiming to become the oldest Olympic medalist in her event despite a recent crash and skiing on a knee replacement. On the gridiron, they salute Sam Darnold for becoming the first USC quarterback to make a Super Bowl appearance. Later in the episode, the Winter Olympics take center stage. The team gets excited about the return of NHL players to the men's hockey tournament for the first time since 2014, and they cover new and unique events like the grueling Ski Mountaineering (Ski-mo). They also offer names to watch, including Layla Edwards, the first African American on the US Women's Hockey team, and Swiss downhill favorite Marco Odermott.

Minneapolis has dominated national headlines for weeks as area residents protest the Department of Homeland Security's heightened crackdown on Minnesota's large immigrant population. Tensions have intensified as agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have killed two American citizens in shootings that have been recorded by observers. Local businesses such as Insight Brewing have taken a stand against ICE's occupation of the city. Insight marketing manager Joey Steinbach joins the Brewbound Podcast to discuss how the brewery has stepped up as a community hub by collecting food and other donations to distribute to mutual aid groups, supporting neighbors who participated in last week's general strike and emphasizing its role as a friendly third space. Before the interview, Zoe and Jess discuss recent news, including takeaways from the Beer, Wine & Spirits Summit and a sneak peek at Budweiser's upcoming Super Bowl commercial.
