"The winners in 2026 will be the ones who refuse to get bogged down in legacy limitations and instead prioritize better multi-dimensional campaigns with audience engagement and quality creative at the center."
Shane is a highly respected figure in ad tech and most recently spent the better part of a decade as the commercial brain of IPONWEB, signing some of the company’s biggest customers. He was also an early employee at DoubleClick in Europe and worked at Google where he held a variety of initially technical roles and then commercial over the first decade of his career.
An early proponent of curation under its original guise of bid enrichment back in 2015, he is passionate about decentralised quality control within the bidstream and optimising at the point of least resistance, reducing bandwidth and resource wastage, and delivering better campaign results.
