Description
The Digital Commerce Daily — August 28, 2026
In this episode:
• Google is expanding Demand Gen into a full-funnel commerce engine — and the new AI video creation and messaging ad formats directly change how DTC brands build and deploy creative at scale.
• Simon Property Group — owner of 190+ malls — has launched a data-driven retail media network, marking the moment physical retail infrastructure formally enters the commerce media arms race.
• Kapten & Son's COO lays out a blunt counter-narrative to growth-at-all-costs DTC culture — and the operational lessons from scaling a German accessories brand profitably across European markets are directly applicable right now.
