Richard Reeves, CEO at the Association of Online Publishers, joins us to talk about the evolving role of premium publishers in a fragmented, AI-driven media landscape. He shares why trust and quality environments are making a comeback, how publishers are balancing the opportunities and risks of AI, and why supporting premium content isn’t just a moral decision—it’s a smart commercial one for brands looking to drive real impact.
The future of omnichannel advertising isn’t simply about automation. It’s about connected intelligence.
To survive 2026 and beyond, the smart move is to pick a side of the spectrum and own it: brands must either be undeniably the best on price, or make their premium worth it through either performance or experience.
The past several years have produced a wave of innovation focused on preserving addressability as signals became more fragmented and difficult to access. But preserving addressability was only the first challenge.
