This thought piece shares what worked, what I missed, why purpose still pulls me to name brands, commercial media and ends with a question for retail media about who should pick up the check. Thoughts?

Zack: We’ve recently launched Qortex’s Resonance Score, a self-service tool that helps marketers and agencies predict and optimize the value of video content. Unlike noisy demographic data, Resonance is built on understanding the content itself including what’s in the frame, how it aligns with creative, and why it drives outcomes.
