Can you walk us through your journey and how you landed in the CPG‐advertising intersection along with what does your current role at Amazon Advertising look like? What are the core responsibilities and strategic levers you focus on?Coming from entrepreneurial & video/telecom roots (e.g., your time co-founding QuickPlay Media) how has that shaped your perspective now in a large ecosystem like Amazon?Many CPG brands think “Amazon = retail channel” but there’s a whole advertising & media angle.

Is there a "sweet spot" you’re seeing?What advice would you give a CPG brand that’s just starting to advertise on Amazon (i.e., their first campaign) on leveraging video — what some things should they absolutely nail?On the flip side: what advanced tactics or experiments are you seeing the most exciting results from, for brands already well-established on Amazon?Are there “best practice” frameworks or internal Amazon Advertising tools that brands should know about (or ask for) re : video / streaming that many overlook?Over the next 3-5 years, what do you think will be the biggest disruptors in CPG advertising (on Amazon and beyond) with video?CPG Guys Website: http://CPGguys.comFMCG Guys Website: http://FMCGguys.comSheCOMMERCE Website: https://shecommercepodcast.com/Rhea Raj’s Website: http://rhearaj.comLara Raj in Katseye: https://www.katseye.world/DISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast episode is provided for general informational purposes only.
