Hit a performance ceiling? Your media mix might be the problem.

At Online Retailer this July, Todd Fisher, Director at Nine Ad Manager, breaks down why streaming TV is becoming a serious growth channel for modern retailers and why it is no longer just for global brands.

The session covers why traditional digital channels are no longer scaling the way they used to, how Connected TV has evolved into a measurable performance channel, what streaming TV looks like in a fragmented, AI-driven media landscape and how retailers of any size can use it more effectively.

If you are looking to break through the digital ceiling, this session is worth adding to your agenda.

What Will Retail and Digital Commerce Look Like in 2030?

For industry leaders, the next five years will demand more than incremental change. Success in 2030 will depend on how well organisations connect digital and physical, embed intelligence across their ecosystem and build operating models that can adapt at speed.

At 2026, Guy Nappa from Oz Hair and Beauty, Paula Mitchell from Freedom Australia Furniture and Dean Salakas from Retail Community will run a forward-looking panel unpacking what the future of retail and digital commerce really looks like and what leadership teams need to be doing now to prepare.

The session will cover how human-centred AI will shape more intuitive customer experiences, what it takes to build intelligent retail ecosystems where digital and physical effectively merge and the operating models being designed for resilience and sustainable growth.
