Let's be honest, this episode should have been called ""Shop Talk"" because it's 70% theater rakes, 20% filmmaking and maybe 10% We Like Sportz. I guess we could have called it We Like Shop Talkz. Regardless, Jorm and Akiva are technically talking (as opposed to talking technically) about We Like Sportz from 2008 and featured on Incredibad. The second installment of the ""Just Two Guyz"" franchise we see Guy #1 and Guy #2 sing about their obsession with sports and definitely not their daddy issues. They get some great insight from Daniel Scheinert (of the Daniels who isn't spoiling their next movie, a slow boil court room drama) on theater rakes, and Chester Tam, and Jonah Hill, both of who were on site in Encino when this ""Mona Lisa"" was created. Plus a bonus dis track from Liz! Enjoy the episode and definitely let us know what you think about IMAX.

Shop Talk Las Vegas always delivers. The energy, the speed meetings, the creative themes. This year, Isaac Morey hit the floor with a camera and came back with a compilation of sharp, focused conversations from some of the most interesting people at the show. These interviews are a great example of what Content Cucumber's conference video service produces for brands. Show up with a booth, leave with months of marketing-ready content.00:26 Nicolas Bailliache, eStreamly06:13 Amit Patel, MyFitnessPal11:17 Vincent Declercq and Ward Van Laer, Dalton13:24 Zach Bricker, Supermetrics19:38 Tarun Chandrasekhar, Syndigo24:12 Jay El-Kaake, Osello26:47 Anshuman Jaiswal, OnePintAI29:00 Jason Grunberg, Forter34:44 Aditya Jain, PassionfruitHere's a quick look at who Isaac talked to and what stood out.Nicolas Bailliache, Co-Founder of e-StreamlyVideo commerce drives over 20% of all e-commerce in Asia, but the US sits around 1%. Nico makes the case that brands need to connect video directly to checkout, especially on their own channels, as a retention play in a world where 80% of internet consumption is already video.Amit Patel, Chief Revenue Officer at MyFitnessPalMyFitnessPal is launching its own ads business, giving brands a way to reach 5.7 million monthly active users who log in five times a day. For CPG, retail, and health and wellness brands, that kind of engaged, habit-driven audience is hard to find anywhere else.Vincent Declercq and Ward Van Laer, Co-Founders of DaltonDalton uses AI to remove the friction from A/B testing and CRO. You connect your shop, get test ideas generated automatically, and Dalton shifts traffic toward winning variations on its own. The self-improving web shop concept is a compelling pitch for brands that know they need to test more but never find the time.Zach Bricker, SupermetricsSupermetrics released new research showing that 89% of executives are pushing for AI adoption, yet the people using AI daily feel their companies lack a real strategy. The stat that only 8% of e-commerce professionals say they're adopting AI was a surprise, and the takeaway is clear. AI won't fix marketing problems without a solid data foundation and a plan.Tarun Chandrasekhar, SyndigoSindigo powers product content from creation to syndication to performance measurement. The agentic commerce angle is fascinating. For a hundred-plus years, brands influenced shoppers through ads designed for human eyeballs. AI agents don't care about visuals. They care about complete, contextual product data. That shift changes the entire game for product content strategy.Jay El-Kaake, OselloOsello automates marketplace listings on platforms like Nordstrom, Macy's, and Target using AI agents. No rules to configure, no spreadsheet templates. Connect your Shopify store and the agents handle everything. Jay's hot take landed well too. If a company has been claiming they do AI for longer than a year, the models they started with are already outdated.Anshuman Jaiswal, Founder of OnePint.aiThe number one mistake in inventory management? Everything floating around in Excel and Google Sheets. OnePint replaces those manual processes with AI-powered demand forecasting, replenishment, and allocation for mid-market brands.Jason Grunberg, CMO at ForterForter uses a massive identity data network to prevent fraud, optimize payments, and protect the customer experience. The insight that everyday consumers now use tools like ChatGPT to fabricate product damage claims is a wake-up call for any merchant thinking fraud prevention is only about stopping professional attackers.Aditya Jain, Co-Founder of Passion FruitPassion Fruit helps brands win search across both SEO and AEO. Adi's biggest observation is that too many companies treat SEO and AEO as completely separate activities when the data and strategy overlap significantly. One of their clients grew revenue 10x after connecting at Shop Talk the previous year.These Interviews Didn't Happen by AccidentEvery conversation Isaac recorded at Shop Talk was planned, filmed with professional gear, and edited into marketing-ready content. That's what Content Cucumber's conference video service does for brands.You're already spending serious money to exhibit. Booth, travel, hotel, swag, team time.

The CPG Guys are joined in the episode by Patrick Nommensen, Head, Strategic Initiatives, AMS & Europe, E-Commerce at TikTok.This episode was record in Las Vegas at Shoptalk 2026.Follow Patrick on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pnommensen/ Follow TikTok on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/tiktok/ Patrick answers these questions:Patrick, you've been vocal about how TikTok Shop is “discovery-led commerce,” where shopping starts with inspiration, not intent. In 2026, reports by others have estimated there are over 80 million U.S. shoppers on the platform, how do you preserve that sense of discovery at scale?There's a perception that TikTok Shop is driven by viral, one-off purchases. But we're now seeing brands build repeat purchase behavior and long-term customer value. What tools are TikTok Shop providing for brands to move from “viral moment” to sustained brand loyalty?We see the huge stars, but your data shows that micro-influencers often have 2x the engagement for CPG brands. How is TikTok Shop's affiliate model evolving to help a brand like PepsiCo and flavor swap chips manage multiple micro-creators at scale without a massive manual headcount?Live shopping is often seen as an Asia-first behavior, but we're seeing strong adoption in the U.S. What's different about how U.S. consumers engage with LIVE, and where do you see the biggest opportunity?Traditional e-commerce starts with search and intent. TikTok Shop starts with discovery and inspiration. How should CPG brands rethink their entire go-to-market strategy in a world where consumers don't search—they discover? Retailers like Walmart and Amazon have deep "closed-loop" measurement. How is TikTok Shop closing the gap to show a CPG Brand Manager exactly how a viral video on Tuesday led to an in-store purchase at a physical Kroger on Friday?Amazon and Walmart have launched their own social feeds. What is the "moat" that TikTok Shop has that a legacy retailer can never replicate, no matter how much they invest in "social" features?We're hearing more brands describe TikTok Shop as a real-time “test kitchen” for product development. Can you share how brands are using the platform to test, iterate, and scale products faster than traditional retail cycles?TikTok Shop is no longer just a test channel–many enterprise brands are now treating it as core infrastructure. What are you seeing from large CPG brands in terms of investment and long-term strategy?If we sit down in 2030, is TikTok still an "App," or is it the underlying operating system for how the world discovers and consumes everything?CPG Guys Website: http://CPGguys.comFMCG Guys Website: http://FMCGguys.comSheCOMMERCE Website: https://shecommercepodcast.com/Rhea Raj's Website: http://rhearaj.comLara Raj in Katseye: https://www.katseye.world/DISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast episode is provided for general informational purposes only.

The era of "testing" AI is over. For retail leaders, the tension has shifted from theoretical potential to a mandatory operational overhaul. If you aren't actioning data within 24 hours, you're already behind. Recorded at Shoptalk, quip CEO Meredith Glansberg joins Kimberly Morgan, a Top AI Leader, to dismantle the hype surrounding retail tech. Glansberg argues that AI isn't a "point solution"—it is a foundational layer that must support the high-trust, high-touch reality of wellness products. KEY INSIGHTS:
