What happens when everyone becomes a brand for fifteen seconds? And what happens after brands become nothing more than ambient frequencies in our endless scroll? Today, we're running back the highest-rated talk from VISIONS: LA.Emily Segal (K-HOLE, Nemesis) presents groundbreaking research on the post-peak vibe era, exploring what comes next when brands can no longer hide behind mood boards and atmospheric storytelling. From “strawberry girl summer” to “rodent boyfriend energy,” we've reached the absurdist endpoint of vibe-driven commerce…but what emerges from the wreckage of algorithmic sentiment monitoring?The Death of Vibes and What Comes NextKey takeaways:Post-Peak Vibe Reality: We've moved beyond brands as storytellers to brands as frequency emitters, where TikTok and Spotify algorithms understand our emotional states better than therapists, creating a landscape of "slop"—low-grade AI material that looks the part but doesn't feel authentic.The Algorithmic Gaze: Vibes aren't just cultural phenomena—they're how we see the world through machine learning's eyes. When we catch a vibe, we're processing information like an auto-encoding algorithm, making certain perceptual elements more obvious while obscuring others.Heritage as Just Another Vibe: Even attempts to escape contemporary vibe culture through "authentic" heritage branding ultimately become vibes themselves. There's no outside to the constant vibe machine, and stealth wealth still leaves traces of exposure.Three Paths Beyond Vibes: The future belongs to brands that are either impossibly dense with human labor (too substantial to reduce to vibes), exceptionally simple (pure speculative energy), or deliberately incoherent (escaping algorithmic detection entirely, like dazzle camouflage for brands).Join the visionaries forming tomorrow's culture through commerce at VISIONS Summit: NYC.

Andrew McLuhan—author, speaker, and steward of The McLuhan Institute—shares rich, mind-bending perspectives on the current state of culture, media, connection, and commerce. Drawing from a generations-deep intellectual legacy forged by media theorist and philosopher Marshall McLuhan, Andrew explores what it means to live in a world electrified by complete digital immersion.A New Medium Is A New CultureKey takeaways:“I quickly discovered that it's easy to overwhelm people with too much information. It's almost the worst thing you can do, because you lose them, and it can be hard to get them back.” – Andrew McLuhan“It's much easier to teach people one thing at a time than it is to teach them ten things at once.” – Andrew McLuhan“‘A poem can't mean something that it doesn't mean to you.' Which is kind of deep, but it's not the cop out that you think it is.” – Andrew McLuhan, quoting T.S. Eliot“Marshall McLuhan saw that through human history we've been influenced and steered by the structure and nature of our innovations more than by what we've done with them. A new medium is a new culture.” – Andrew McLuhan“We don't like finding out how we're being used.” – Andrew McLuhan“Commerce is a form of media. It is manipulating people in some way and people are being shaped by it.” – PhillipIn-Show Mentions:How People Are Really Using Gen AI in 2025 – Harvard Business ReviewOther Harvard Business Review pieces:Personalization Done RightThe Consumer Psychology of Adopting AIEric McLuhan's Taking Up McLuhan's Cause – re-releasedThe McLuhan InstituteAssociated Links:Check out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and to save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

Retention Marketing Mastery: From Leaky Buckets to Loyal FansIn this eye-opening episode of The E-Commerce Podcast, host Matt Edmundson dives deep into retention marketing with Thomas Lalas, the self-proclaimed "subscription whisperer" who helps million-dollar e-commerce brands keep customers coming back for more. They explore why focusing solely on customer acquisition is like "adding more water to a leaky bucket" and reveal practical strategies for transforming one-time buyers into loyal subscribers.I wonder if you've noticed how the subscription economy has evolved? Thomas shares his journey from startup founder to retention specialist, explaining that his own business collapsed because they prioritized acquisition over retention. Now he's on a mission to help other brands avoid the same costly mistake.Are you missing opportunities in those crucial post-purchase moments? This conversation might just change how you think about customer loyalty and the true value of your existing customer base.Key Takeaways:Thomas challenges the common approach to e-commerce, suggesting that brands focus too heavily on acquisition while neglecting retention. He introduces several innovative concepts:Move beyond "subscribe and save" - Create offers that add genuine lifestyle value and support your customers' identity, not just discounts.Space out your freebies - Rather than front-loading all incentives, gamify the experience by spacing rewards across multiple orders.The post-purchase period is part of the product - The first two weeks after purchase should be considered part of your core offering, not an afterthought.Turn anxiety into excitement - Use the period between purchase and delivery to build anticipation and educate customers.Meet customers where they are - If you acquire customers from Facebook, build a Facebook group; if they're younger and mobile-first, consider an app.Education drives upsells - Create bite-sized masterclasses that educate customers and naturally lead to relevant upsells (Thomas reports a 33% conversion rate).Personalize based on signals - Use surveys and customer behavior to tailor offers to specific needs and concerns.Send more emails, not fewer - Most brands don't send enough post-purchase communication.I wonder how these strategies might transform your relationship with customers? Could turning product education into an event with "graduation" and rewards change how your audience perceives your brand?For more information about retention marketing strategies and to connect with Thomas Lalas, visit our website at ecommercepodcast.net.

Live from Optimove Connect, Brian sits down with Optimove CEO Pini Yakuel and Nikolas Badminton, Chief Futurist at Futurist.com, to unpack the philosophical and practical implications of 'positionless marketing'—a radical rethink of organizational roles in the AI era.Mind Over MechanismKey takeaways:Positionless is Power: The most innovative organizations won't be flatter—they'll be fluid. Roles dissolve; talent flows where it's needed.AI Is the New Intern: It drafts, it preps, it gets you started—but the genius still has to come from you.Old Process ≠ New Potential: Layering AI on legacy workflows just speeds up your inefficiency.Control is a Creativity Killer: Let go of silos, turf wars, and micromanagement. The next gen of leaders will trust, not gatekeep.The Kids Are Alright—and in Charge: Within 10 years, new mindsets will lead. Curious, collaborative, and chaos-embracing.[00:04:48]: “Startups get stuff done because you're positionless. One day you're marketing, next day you're writing code. That's how you beat the big guys—speed and fluidity.” – Pini Yakuel[00:08:03]: “We create the tools, and the tools create us.” – Nick Badminton[00:14:44]: “New tech + old process = expensive old process.” – Nick Badminton[00:11:50]: “Friction is what makes life life.” – Brian LangeAssociated Links:Check out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

Brian goes live from Optimove Connect in London to explore how the idea of “positionless marketing” is revolutionizing the way we think about team structure, agility, and creativity in marketing. He chats with endurance swimmer and environmental activist Lewis Pugh, as well as DAZN's Ria Chin-You and Optimove's Paul O'Shea, about marketing's future and how AI is shaping it.Strive for EpicKey takeaways:[12:25] Lewis Pugh shares how emotional drive and preparation fuel extraordinary feats—like swimming across the North Pole—and what brands can learn from that level of purpose.[20:29] “Epic” vs. “great”: Pugh discusses how to distinguish good work from game-changing campaigns.[33:42] Environmental justice, consumer justice, and the universal value of doing what's right—and what this really means for global brands today.[46:05] DAZN's Ria Chin-You discusses managing CRM across 200+ markets with a team of nine—and the challenges of scaling personalization with limited resources.[50:48] Integrating GenAI into real-world workflows is still a challenge, especially for resource-strapped teams—but the potential is there.[58:24] Paul O'Shea explains Optimove's vision for creating “super workers” through native AI integration and simplifying marketers' jobs.[1:01:08] Cultural nuance is key—global messaging isn't just about translation, it's about resonance.[1:07:49] In fast-moving industries like sports, being agile isn't optional. AI could be the key to real-time, reactive marketing at scale.“Practice until you can't get it wrong, not until you get it right.” — Lewis Pugh“We need tools that help us scale personalization without sacrificing cultural authenticity.” — Ria Chin-You“AI isn't replacing you, it's your new teammate.” — BrianIn-Show Mentions:Learn more about Optimove's positionless marketing platform at Optimove.com/futurecommerceDiscover Lewis Pugh's environmental work at lewispughfoundation.orgFind Ria Chin-You's work via DAZN and LinkedInAssociated Links:Check out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

Elizabeth Schmidt sits down with Kelly Cook, the new CEO of David's Bridal, for a deep-dive into one of the most ambitious retail transformations happening today. Kelly—David's first female CEO in the brand's 75-year history—is leading the iconic bridal company through its pivot from “aisle to algorithm,” turning tradition on its head while honoring the trust of over 100 million women they've dressed. Kelly shares how David's is embracing inclusivity, rethinking what a wedding “should” look like, and creating magical moments for every kind of bride. Plus, we get personal stories, heartfelt leadership lessons, and a big-picture look at what the future of weddings might hold (hint: AR headsets and donut walls).100 Million Brides LaterKey takeaways:From Dresses to Data: “Aisle to Algorithm” Is Here: David's Bridal is now a full-stack media-tech-commerce company. With AI-driven personalization and financial tools like Pearl Pay, they're reimagining how weddings are planned—and how brides are supported.Wildfang Collab Signals the Future of Weddingwear: Suits, sneakers, ballgowns, cowboy boots—brides today are expressing themselves in radically new ways. The Wildfang partnership reflects David's commitment to inclusivity and non-traditional celebration.Intimacy, Trust, and a Whole Lot of Emotio: Kelly shares moving stories about the deeply personal nature of helping brides find their look. From stylists trained in body confidence to bell-ringing ceremonies, it's not just commerce—it's connection.Data is Power—But You Don't Need All of It: Under Kelly's leadership, David's is cutting through data overwhelm. The new mantra? 65% of the data is enough to make a decision. Insight and action matter more than analysis paralysis.The Future of Weddings Might Be Augmented: Kelly envisions a not-so-distant future where AR and AI are part of the wedding experience—think immersive headsets, projection-mapped dresses, and hyper-personalized storytelling.“We've dressed 100 million women. That's not just a legacy—it's a privilege that allows us to pivot powerfully into the future.” — Kelly Cook“It's women choosing to wear cowboy boots instead of a cushion Louboutin—and we love all of it.” — Kelly Cook“We serve anyone who's in love, no matter who their partner is. If we don't have what you need, we'll go get it.” — Kelly Cook“You don't need 90% of the data to make a decision. You need 65—and a little courage.” — Kelly CookIn-Show Mentions: Read on The Senses: "The Auratic Economy"Associated Links:Order LORE by Future CommerceCheck out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

Live from the Lore Bookshop at Shoptalk Spring, Phillip and Brian sit down with friends of the podcast and creative heavyweights Nick Susi and Mai Nguyen of dotdotdash to unpack their latest work with Nike—the groundbreaking AIR Imagination project. Nick and Mai pull back the curtain on what it takes to build immersive, AI-powered brand experiences that actually feel like the brand—and why surprise and delight matter more than ever in a world obsessed with optimization. Plus, hear how they're redefining user experience through experiments like Chromaverse and their take on AI as a “serendipity engine.”This Is What AI Should Feel Like (Chicken Shoes)Key takeaways:Nike's AIR Imagination is a Brand Milestone: AIR Imagination isn't just a product—it's a community design platform that invites fans to co-create with Nike DNA. Powered by AI, it lowers the barrier to creativity while still preserving the integrity of the brand.AI-Driven Remixing Is Reshaping Brand Strategy: This project flips the traditional brand-to-consumer model on its head. Now, it's consumer-to-consumer remixing, with Nike acting as the shared language. It's not just collaboration—it's cultural co-creation at scale.Dot Dot Dash Built AI That Feels Like Nike: Behind the scenes, Dot Dot Dash developed prompt-enhancing tech to ensure every user-generated design still looks and feels like a Nike product—proof that AI doesn't have to compromise brand authenticity.AI as a “Serendipity Engine” Is the Future of Commerce: Instead of treating AI like a tool for hyper-optimization, Dot Dot Dash sees its true power in enabling surprise, delight, and discovery. That ethos runs through everything from Nike to their own experimental tools like Chromaverse.Brands Need to Design with Culture, Not Just for It: As Nick's essay “Culture as a Client” explores, successful brands don't just extract from culture—they build multidirectional ecosystems that create mutual value. Nike's project is a masterclass in getting that balance right.“AIR Imagination is Nike saying, ‘Here's the vault. Remix what we've done—and what each other has done.'” – Nick Susi“Even with all that detail, it still came out a Nike shoe. That's the connection—that's the relationship.” – Mai Nguyen“What AI is really good at is chance, randomness, serendipity... That's what creates emotional experience.” – Nick Susi“We're not invalids. Don't spoon-feed us everything. Help me—but don't take it all away.” – Mai Nguyen“Chat-based ecommerce UIs? Frustrating. Instead, look to gaming or luxury retail for better design references.” – Nick SusiAssociated Links:Order LORE by Future CommerceCheck out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

From Data Overwhelm to Actionable Insights: Mastering eCommerce Analytics with Jeff SauerIn this illuminating episode of the eCommerce Podcast, host Matt Edmundson chats with Jeff Sauer, the self-described "data whisperer" and founder of Measure Marketing Group. They explore how eCommerce business owners can transform intimidating data analytics into powerful strategic assets for business growth, helping you shift from data overload to data-driven decisions that directly impact your bottom line.I wonder if you, like many eCommerce entrepreneurs, feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of data available? Jeff reveals how to cut through the noise and focus on the metrics that actually matter for your business growth.Key Takeaways:1. Focus on the critical 20%: Jeff points out that most businesses only ever use 10-20% of the data they collect. Instead of trying to understand everything, configure that crucial percentage to give you exactly what you need.2. Data is a profit center, not an expense: When properly implemented, analytics should help you identify opportunities and plug leaks in your sales funnel, paying for itself many times over.3. The Measurement Marketing Framework: Rather than being overwhelmed by dashboards, focus on tracking the user journey - did visitors scroll past the fold? Did they see your call to action? Did they take the desired action?4. Google Analytics 4 requires configuration: Without proper setup, GA4 provides limited value. However, its integration with other Google products makes it essential for most eCommerce businesses.5. AB testing alternatives: For smaller sites without massive traffic, focus on fixing obvious problems rather than testing variations. As Jeff says, "Would you AB test whether to plug a hole in a leaking funnel, or would you just plug it?"---Wondering if your eCommerce business is ready for a dedicated data analyst? Jeff suggests that when you reach about 10 employees with two in marketing, your third marketing hire should probably be an analyst.For more information on mastering eCommerce analytics, including free resources, tools, and training programs, visit our website.Visit measureu.com to access Jeff's free community with resources, tools, and workshops on eCommerce analytics.

Feat. Daisy Alioto & Francis ZiererDaisy Alioto and Francis Zierer of Tasteland join us to talk about what happens when two distinct media brands—Dirt and Creator Spotlight—collide. We explore how podcasting has become a creative extension of newsletters, how parasocial dynamics shape audience building, and what it means to build brand and community in a fractured media landscape.Staying Afloat in the Primordial SoupKey takeaways:The “Anti-Scene” Scene: Today's creative connections often form organically—through mutual respect and shared ideas, not cliquish gatekeeping—giving rise to an “asynchronous salon” of cultural thinkers.Design and Taste as Cultural Signals: Design choices and curation practices influence perception and build cultural credibility.Building Media That Builds Taste: Tasteland isn't about telling people what to like—it's about helping listeners cultivate their own sense of taste, with media that challenges, informs, and inspires."You can notice the difference in the approach… and I do wonder if the pendulum will swing back to more structured storytelling, like Serial or S-Town. – Daisy"The biggest problem with culture plus business is it's easy for dishonesty to creep in. And that sucks. Who wants to listen to someone with no point of view?" – Daisy"It's like this asynchronous salon of independent figures… where the connections become more connections across them." – Francis"If your media diet becomes a closed loop… you've basically traded one algorithm for another. Our job is to help people develop their own taste." – Daisy"I read SIC Weekly like a poem… and just click on two links. It forces you to choose—and that's what develops taste." – FrancisIn-Show Mentions:Subscribe to DirtSubscribe to Creator SpotlightSubscribe to TastelandAssociated Links:Check out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

Live from the buzzing floor of ShopTalk Spring, Phillip, Brian, and marketing expert Elizabeth Schmidt unpack everything from nostalgic branding and Gen Z marketing to luxury retail and AI in education. We digest key themes we heard during ShopTalk in real-time and share a compelling look at how relationships and storytelling are driving the next chapter in retail.You Can't Optimize Your Way to A MythKey takeaways:[02:30] CEO Richard Dixon emphasized Gap's legacy as a canvas for American culture and its pivot toward digital-first experiences while embracing nostalgia.[08:30] Kevin O'Leary argues that if you're spending $50K/month and not investing in TV (linear and streaming), you're missing out. His brands spend 40% of ad dollars there.[18:00] Accenture outlined 7 dimensions of luxury today—adding experience, innovation, and social value to the classic trio of heritage, exclusivity, and craftsmanship.[30:30] Zadig & Voltaire targets Gen Z—but it's Gen X parents doing the buying. Smart multi-generational strategy in play.[15:20] Thoughtful, non-promotional SMS messages (like a GIF with no CTA) outperformed sales-driven texts in some cases—surprising and powerful.[24:30] The LORE Activation – Future Commerce's “Book of Lore” pop-up at ShopTalk captured personal brand confessions and created physical artifacts of digital culture."Gap is a canvas... a portfolio of American brands that shape culture." – Elizabeth quoting Richard Dixon"Any brand spending $50K/month on ads not doing TV is doing it wrong." – Elizabeth quoting Kevin O'Leary“Brighten your customers' day—don't just sell. Some of our best SMS responses came from a simple, feel-good GIF.” – Elizabeth"40% of their customer base is Gen Z, but they're actually winning Gen X because the parents are the ones that are buying... To have a brand that can appeal to two completely separate demographics is incredible." – Elizabeth“You have an always-on advertising channel that's just playing ambiently all the time… and that is extraordinarily powerful.” – Phillip"Myths are made when relationships are formed... and this year, ShopTalk feels like a place where those stories begin." – BrianIn-Show Mentions:@Art_lust on TikTokAssociated Links:Order LORE by Future CommerceCheck out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

With decades of experience in subscription commerce, Paul has helped countless brands transform their membership models to improve retention and customer loyalty.Key Insights:"The number of times I've heard from brands where it's like, as soon as we change the cancellation process, as soon as we reduce the friction... we saw immediate uptick in our customer lifetime value and long-term retention." - Paul ChambersWhen customers feel trapped, they develop negative associations with your brand. Conversely, making cancellation frictionless creates trust and paradoxically increases loyalty.Paul shared how Bottomless revolutionized replenishment with smart scales: "I have a scale that sits under our dog food container and I will tell you it works flawlessly. As soon as it's starting to get down, the next I see a shipment notification in my email and just a couple days later I have the next bag of dog food that's on my doorstep."5 Membership Models That Actually Work:Frictionless Replenishment: Using technology to deliver products exactly when customers need themTiered Membership Access: Creating aspirational levels that encourage increased spendingCommunity-Based Membership: Building emotional connections through shared experiencesValue-Added Services: Bundling complementary benefits that increase perceived valueGamified Loyalty Programs: Using achievement systems to maintain engagementResources Mentioned:SubSummit ConferenceBottomless Smart ScalesThe eCommerce Podcast Cohort CommunityPaul LinkedInConnect With Us:Website:eCommercePodcast.netLinkedIn:Matt EdmundsonEmail:matt@ecommercepodcast.netJoin Us at SubSummit!Both Matt and Paul will be at SubSummit this year.
