James Avery talks with James Borow, advisor and lead for Universal Ads at Comcast, about the convergence of premium TV and digital self-serve advertising. Borow discusses how Universal Ads is making TV inventory approachable for brands of all sizes by removing traditional barriers like high minimum spends and complex creative requirements. The conversation covers the shift toward incrementality in measurement, the "halo effect" TV has on social media performance, and how retailers can leverage their first-party data for high-performance CTV reach extension. They also dive into the future of agentic commerce and "vibe coding," exploring how AI-driven tools are rapidly expanding digital consumption and creating a new "golden age" for personalized advertising.
