Dave’s guest this week is Jordan Witmer, Managing Director of Retail Media & Consulting at Salt Media, where he helps brands unify creative, data, and performance across today’s fragmented retail media landscape.
Jordan’s journey spans Black & Decker, Hershey, and Johnson & Johnson (now Kenvue), giving him a rare, full-funnel view of how commerce, media, and measurement intersect.
In this episode, he and Dave unpack:
- Why ROAS isn’t dead — it’s just misunderstood
- How to balance brand goals and item-level data for smarter optimization
- The shift toward campaign-first creative that adapts across every platform
- Why physical retail is making a comeback in an AI-saturated world
