Where to Invest for Growth Across DTC, Amazon, and Retail
Apr 15, 2026 6:00 PM - 8:30 PM EST
Growth has become harder to scale as budgets stretch across DTC, Amazon, and retail, with no clear playbook for how to prioritize or measure impact. Attribution remains inconsistent, retail media continues to fragment, and many teams are still underutilizing channels like DSP despite pressure to drive incremental performance.
This discussion brings together brand and e-commerce leaders to unpack how they are navigating these challenges in practice. The conversation will focus on how teams are making smarter investment decisions, approaching measurement despite imperfect data, and identifying where incremental growth is actually coming from.
Attendees will leave with a clearer perspective on how to structure their channel mix, where to focus next, and how to apply more disciplined, data-informed decision making across an increasingly complex ecosystem.
