Retail MediaX Podcast 2025: Future Trends – the deepening role of AI and automation in retail media with Ocado

In this episode, Jack Johnson, head of retail media and data at Ocado and Katie Streeter Hurle, SMG’s chief strategy officer, join Colin Lewis from Internet Retailing to uncover how AI and automation continue to transform the retail media ecosystem – from campaign delivery to personalisation at scale and beyond. 

With Ocado leading as a digital-first retailer and SMG powering data-driven media strategies across the UK’s leading grocery environments, the pair share insights on the evolution of tech-led advertising and its implications for brands, retailers and media planners alike. They discuss real-world applications of automation, the growing demand for operational efficiency and how smarter technology is enabling media to be not only faster, but more effective.
