Sharon also shared insights on how agencies can stay competitive, creative, and profitable while leveraging technology like connected TV, YouTube, and AI. Key Takeaways: - The Future of Agencies: Sharon shares her experience transitioning from consulting to running her own agency. She emphasizes the importance of building a senior team to challenge assumptions and drive real business outcomes. - Generative AI in Marketing: Generative AI is changing the game by enabling more personalized customer engagement and efficient campaign management. While it's still early, its potential to revolutionize digital advertising is significant. - Connected TV and Video Ads: Short-form video ads (5-15 seconds) on connected TV and YouTube are becoming the norm, offering high reach at low costs. - The Importance of Measurement: Even though measurement has advanced, there are still many gaps, particularly in connecting offline and upper-funnel activities to digital results. Companies must be cautious not to rely solely on PPC metrics like ROAS without considering overall profitability. - Career Longevity in PPC: New marketers must continuously adapt to change, learning to integrate tools, data, and technology to stay competitive in the evolving landscape of PPC. The Future of Google: Sharon and Fred discuss the challenges Google may face in the future, especially with the rise of AI-driven search and the potential for the company to lose dominance.
