Marc Pritchard“What matters is retail sales growth. And with that convergence of media and commerce through retail media, this should finally be available.”
FOLLOW-UP
This prediction was made in June 2026. While retail media continues to grow and promises closer ties to sales, it is too early to definitively confirm that comprehensive, standardized, and easily accessible retail sales signals tied to media are 'finally available' across the industry as of the current date.

PREDICTION BY
Jasmine Enberg“Influencer marketing becomes more performance-driven – As the market matures, brands will prioritize measurable outcomes over vanity metrics, with creator marketplaces proliferating across platforms, media companies, and even retailers... Growth is going to be slower, and we think brands are going to be more intentional about how they’re spending their dollars... There’s going to be a lot more conversations about measurement.”
FOLLOW-UP
By 2026, influencer marketing firmly shifted towards performance-based deals, measurable outcomes, and robust analytics, with creator marketplaces becoming prevalent, aligning with the prediction.

FEB 02, 2024
PREDICTION BY
Ari Paparo“We’re moving into an era where ‘outcomes’ – not impressions or even clicks – will become the defining metric in digital advertising over the next few years, driven by AI optimization and the consolidation of media platforms. By 2025 and beyond, the platforms that can prove incremental sales or other hard outcomes will gain share at the expense of those that just deliver reach.”
FOLLOW-UP
From 2024–2026, major platforms and advertisers have increasingly emphasized incrementality, sales lift, and business outcomes in their narratives and product updates, especially in retail media networks, CTV/commerce integrations, and performance-oriented video/social formats. AI-driven campaign optimization and closed-loop measurement have become core selling points, consistent with Paparo's forecast.
