“Your cholesterol is high.” It's a phrase millions hear each year—often followed by a statin prescription and little else. But with statins now the most prescribed drugs on the planet, why is heart disease still the world's #1 killer? And why are we not talking about the bigger picture? In this hard-hitting episode, we're joined by Dr. Ross Walker, one of Australia's leading voices in preventive cardiology, to challenge the mainstream narrative—and ask the questions that could save lives. We explore: The truth behind cholesterol—what it is, what it isn't, and why one number shouldn't define your risk. Statins: miracle drug or misunderstood medicine? Who really benefits, and at what cost? The role of genetics—including the common but underdiagnosed condition, Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH). Visit the DNA Screen Project to learn more: https://dnascreen.monash.edu/ Why prevention struggles to compete with Big Pharma—and what needs to change. The 30-Day Heart Health Plan every listener should hear, with Dr. Walker's actionable advice on food, movement, stress, and testing. This episode is not anti-medication—it's pro-information. Because your heart health deserves more than a prescription.
Welcome to The Ecommerce Braintrust podcast, brought to you by Julie Spear, Head of Retail Marketplace Services, and Jordan Ripley, Director of Retail Operations. In today's episode, we're diving into a topic that's been heating up since Amazon unveiled it at Unboxed last October: using AMC audiences for Sponsored Products. It's a conversation that's gone from a slow simmer to a full-on boil in recent months, and we've brought in two of Acadia's sharpest retail media minds to break it all down: Ross Walker and Carlos Sastre. We'll be exploring where the real impact is showing up, what's working, and what this shift means for the future of Sponsored Search. Tune in to find out more! "I don't care about winning every single eyeball for a keyword. I only care about winning the subset of eyeballs that are most likely to convert, be a high lifetime value customer, or be most likely to purchase multiple products in my assortment. That is the new game that we are moving towards in the future." Ross Walker KEY TAKEAWAYS In this episode, Julie, Jordan, Ross, and Carlos discuss: Overview of AMC Audiences for Sponsored Ads: The distinction between using AMC audiences in DSP vs. Sponsored Ads. In Sponsored Products/Brand Ads, AMC audiences act as bid modifiers rather than strict targeting mechanisms. Limitations and Current Capabilities: Advertisers can only boost bids for specific audiences, not exclude or exclusively target them. Only one AMC audience can be applied per campaign currently, which introduces campaign complexity. The "crawl, walk, run" approach: Start simple by identifying the campaign goal (upper vs. lower funnel) before layering in AMC audiences. Recommendations to duplicate existing campaigns and layer AMC audiences for more efficient targeting. Strong results from using purchaser and subscriber lookalike audiences (doubling ROAS and improving conversion rates). Cautions against hyper-granular audience building, which may limit scale and statistical significance. Leveraging “out of the box” audiences first before building complex custom audiences. Keep initial testing straightforward, scaling complexity only if justified by results. Notable reductions in CPCs and significant increases in ROAS for test campaigns that adopted AMC audiences. Dual campaign strategy allows efficiency gains without sacrificing overall volume. The introduction of more AMC-style features directly in the Amazon Ads console (e.g., new-to-brand bid boosting). The shift from keyword/product targeting towards audience-based bidding and what that means for campaign architecture and ROI. Amazon's continued pace of innovation in ad products enables proactive brands to gain an edge. The future of advertising on Amazon involves refining audiences beyond keywords, focusing spend on high-value customers. The importance of adapting campaign strategies to stay ahead as the platform evolves.

Welcome to The Ecommerce Braintrust podcast, brought to you by Julie Spear, Head of Retail Marketplace Services, and Jordan Ripley, Director of Retail Operations. This is your April edition of the Retail Round-Up! In today's episode, we dive into the latest trends shaking up the retail media landscape, from AI-driven shopping innovations and Walmart's evolving media strategy to concerns about Prime Day restock limits and the ongoing impact of tariffs. The retail media space is moving fast, and there's no sign of slowing down. We're excited to welcome special first-time guest Shahrez Anjum, Senior Account Manager at Acadia, alongside our media expert and friend of the pod, Ross Walker, Director of Retail Media at Acadia. Tune in to stay ahead of the curve! KEY TAKEAWAYS In this episode, Julie, Jordan, Ross, and Shahrez discuss: Amazon recently introduced two major AI-driven features that signal a fundamental shift in how product discovery and shopping journeys will operate: Interests AI and Buy for Me. Interests AI is a product discovery tool that allows Amazon shoppers to enter detailed prompts reflecting their hobbies and passions. Buy for Me, currently in beta, uses agentic AI to place orders on third-party brand websites directly from the Amazon app. Amazon has introduced tighter control over off-site placements, which allows advertisers to manage their spend on external platforms more effectively. Walmart has made two significant updates to its media offering through Walmart Connect, adding Vizio inventory for media buying and the ability to do advanced targeting for on-site display ads. Amazon has made significant strides in simplifying and enhancing how advertisers can interact with its audience targeting capabilities, particularly by integrating AMC (Amazon Marketing Cloud) audiences into its ad console. Native Bid Boosters: Amazon is making it easier for advertisers to access and use audience segments directly within the ad console. The ongoing discussions around tariffs and their potential impact on retail prices have become a recurring topic in the e-commerce space, especially in relation to Amazon. As Prime Day approaches, concerns about restock limits and potential supply chain challenges are rising. In particular, there are indications that Amazon may reintroduce restock limits, a measure previously used to manage inventory flow.

Welcome to The Ecommerce Braintrust podcast, brought to you by Julie Spear, Head of Retail Marketplace Services, and Jordan Ripley, Director of Retail Operations. It's time for another episode of the Retail Round-Up, March edition! From a new fee structure on promotions to a longer Prime Day event and expanded advertising capabilities, these updates could reshape how brands approach pricing, marketing, and overall strategy. Joining us today are resident experts Ross Walker, Director of Retail Media at Acadia, and Armin Alipahic, Operations Team Lead. Make sure you tune in to find out more! KEY TAKEAWAYS In this episode, Julie, Jordan, Ross, and Armin discuss: Amazon's New Fee Structure for Deals & Coupons – Amazon is introducing performance-based fees for Lightning Deals, Best Deals, Coupons, and Prime Exclusive Discounts starting June 2nd. These changes could significantly impact brands' profitability, particularly ahead of Prime Day. Prime Day Extended to Four Days – Amazon quietly announced that Prime Day 2025 will be a four-day event, giving brands more time to compete but also raising concerns about increased promotional spending. Amazon's Push Into TV Advertising – The launch of Complete TV aims to streamline TV ad buying, including both linear and streaming placements. This move aligns with Amazon's broader strategy to dominate the traditional TV advertising space. Search Query Performance (SQP) API Launch – Amazon is making SQP reports available via API, allowing brands and tech providers to automate and integrate search data more efficiently. This could be a game-changer for search optimization and ad performance tracking. Steeper Discounts for Better Visibility – Amazon is incentivizing brands to offer discounts of 40% or more by promising additional deal placements, though the specifics remain unclear. However, higher promotional costs may make deep discounting unsustainable for many brands.

Welcome to The Ecommerce Braintrust podcast, brought to you by Julie Spear, Head of Retail Marketplace Services, and Jordan Ripley, Director of Retail Operations. Today, we're catching up with Ross Walker, Director of Retail Media, to discuss his recent workshop at the Commerce Media Brand Summit in Atlanta. Ross led an in-depth session on all things bottom-of-the-funnel—what's evolving, why it matters, and how brands can maximize this critical stage. Tune in to find out more! KEY TAKEAWAYS In this episode, Julie, Jordan, and Ross discuss: Defining the Bottom of the Funnel (BOF) BOF focuses on conversion—turning interest into purchases or fostering brand loyalty. Includes retargeting customers who have engaged with your product or brand. Targets high-intent audiences like past visitors, brand searchers, and prior buyers. Shift in Budget Allocation Brands are moving budgets away from branded search and loyalty-based retargeting. More investment is going toward non-branded bottom-of-funnel keywords and audiences. Capturing new customers efficiently is now a bigger priority over maximizing ROAS. 4 Tactics for BOF Success Day Parting: Optimizing spend by adjusting bids based on high-conversion hours and days. Late-day bidding can be effective when competitors run out of budget. Paid & Organic Interdependency: Product listings must align with high-intent keywords to maximize visibility. Strong keyword optimization remains essential for organic rankings and paid efficiency Video Ads for BOF: Vertical video performs better for high-intent searchers. Feature-driven videos convert better than broad brand storytelling at BOF. AI & Automation in Bidding: AI is effective for optimizing bulk campaigns but still requires human oversight. Best use: Let AI handle 80% of the catalog while manually fine-tuning the top performers.

This is a high energy conversation with renowned preventative cardiologist Dr Ross Walker and fx Medicine by BioCeuticals ambassador Dr Michelle Woolhouse. Dr Walker makes the specialist field of preventative cardiology accessible; he does this through his use of insightful explanations and well-crafted analogies from his 45 years of practice. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and its active form ubiquinol, take centre stage in this discussion, including Dr Ross Walker's use of ubiquinol in cardiovascular disease (CVD), how ubiquinol can be used to reduce the side effects associated with statins, and the research showing CoQ10/ubiquinol to decrease all-cause mortality. Dr Walker talks much more than just ubiquinol, including the importance of measuring calcium coronary artery score in assessing cardiovascular risk, his well-tested protocol for lipoprotein (a), diabobesity and the impact of insulin resistance, and his not to be missed five keys of being healthy. There are practice pearls a plenty: when statins are necessary, the importance of lifestyle and diet interventions for heart health, and the real pandemic of our time; diabobesity.

Welcome to another episode of The Ecommerce Braintrust podcast hosted by Acadia's Head of Retail Marketplaces Services Julie Spear. In this episode, we dive into the intricacies of retail media allocation with guests Ross Walker, Head of the Retail Media Team, and Damiano Ciarrocchi, Senior Retail Media Manager. The trio explores the dynamic landscape of retail media strategies, what has evolved over the past few years, and key insights for brands looking to optimize their omnichannel investments. Make sure you tune in to find out more! KEY TAKEAWAYS In this episode, Julie, Ross, and Damiano discuss: State of Retail Media Allocation How retail media allocation strategies have evolved, emphasizing the importance of holistic and channel-agnostic views. The shift from simplistic revenue-based allocations to considering incrementality and customer journey metrics. Approaching Retail Media Holistically The need for brands to move beyond siloed strategies and consider the interplay between different marketplaces. How brands leverage multiple channels such as Amazon, Chewy, and Walmart to maximize brand growth. Evaluating the unique contributions of each channel to overall sales and not just individual performance metrics. Retail Media Network Lifecycle The typical development stages of retail media networks, from focusing on lower-funnel tactics to expanding into mid- and upper-funnel capabilities. The expansion and improvement of self-serve ad platforms as retailers mature. Pitfalls to Avoid and Best Practices Issues like siloed teams, lack of testing, and under-leveraging in-store presence were highlighted as frequent setbacks. Brands with overarching strategies, consistent cross-channel metrics, and robust creative campaigns tend to be more successful. Retailer Priorities and Recommendations Strong emphasis on the importance of foundational metrics and data insights. Sequence of developing ad types starting from lower funnel and moving upward as the platform matures. Encouraging retailers to adopt a more long-term perspective by making data accessible and free.
