This week Dave speaks with Lauren Livak Gilbert, Director of the Digital Shelf Institute (DSI), and Mike Black, CMO at Profitero. Lauren and Mike recently collaborated on the DSI/Profitero report, "Defining Content Effectiveness: How Content Maturity Can Help Brands Better Meet Shopper Needs."

They discuss why Mike is such a prolific poster on LinkedIn (6:33), Lauren's experience managing the digital shelf for J&J brands during the pre-COVID era (8:49), takeaways from the "Defining Content Effectiveness" report (18:19), the importance of AI usage complying with a brand's legal requirements, brand guidelines and workflows (27:51), and the narrowing of the gap between upper and lower funnels (29:37).
