Frazer Locke on Retail Media's Future, Amazon Ads & the Blade Runner Effect | ADOTAT Show
Frazer Locke, SVP of International Sales at TripleLift, joins Pesach Lattin on the ADOTAT Show to talk about what's really happening in retail media — the good, the broken, and the overly ad-saturated. With 34 years spanning retail floors, Amazon Ads, and now the creative SSP space, Frazer shares hard-won insights on why the industry needs guardrails before it hits a "Blade Runner effect" of endless ads, why full-funnel measurement is still more aspiration than reality, and how Amazon's flywheel approach changed advertising forever.
They dig into the fragmentation of retail media networks across Europe vs. the US, whether most DSPs will survive the next decade, the real role of creative tech and dynamic creative optimization beyond "glorified templates," and why Aldi and Lidl could be sleeper hits in commerce media. From CTV advertising's explosive growth to the transparency crisis in programmatic advertising, this conversation pulls no punches. Plus: desert island picks, Superman's laser-eye campfire skills, and the Seth Dallaire leadership lessons that still echo today.
