The Marketplace Think Tank
The Marketplaces Think Tank explores how businesses can use marketplaces to accelerate online growth while protecting brand identity and customer loyalty.
Across three sessions, the discussion covers innovative marketplace business models, differentiation in crowded platforms, brand dilution, price sensitivity and the risks of relying too heavily on dominant players. It also examines the rise of vertical, social and AI-driven marketplaces—and what these shifts mean for future marketplace strategies.
The format is panel followed by a round table where you’re part of the conversation to test the challenges against your own business reality with strategic next steps to take away:
- The Panel Provocation: A series of high-intensity panel discussions designed to challenge the status quo and surface the real constraints.
- The Roundtable: You’re not watching this part. Each panel breaks straight into a small-group discussion to pressure-test the provocations against your own business reality.
- The Output: Every brief concludes with a set of clear options and strategic next steps – not just more questions.
Marketplaces, Social Commerce and Winning the Next Generation of Consumers
Brands are increasingly wary of over-relying on any single dominant platform – and at the same time, new models are emerging fast: vertical marketplaces, social commerce, retailer-owned marketplaces, and AI-driven discovery. This panel brings together the trailblazers experimenting with social platforms, marketplaces and DTC, to discuss what’s actually working, where the real trade-offs are, and what’s next
- What does the next generation consumer really want?
- What is actually driving brands to diversify; cost, control, data, risk, or something else?
- How do these emerging models differ social commerce vs. marketplace vs. DTC?
- Where does AI-driven commerce like agents/AI shopping assistants fit into this shift?
I’ll be joined by George Robinson, Herculano Rodrigues, Yana Sirenko, and Jon Nicholson
