#802: eTail’s Lena Moriarty on e-commerce in the year ahead
Today, we’re going to talk about the seismic shifts happening in e-commerce, fresh off the floor of NRF 2026, and what it all means for the year ahead. We’ll explore the real-world impact of AI on the customer experience, the rise of agentic commerce, and how marketing leaders can prepare for a future that’s arriving faster than anyone expected. To help me discuss this topic, I’d like to welcome back Lena Moriarty, Head of Marketing at eTail.
From the creators of The Agile Brand with Greg Kihlström® podcast, and the internationally best-selling The Agile Brand Guide® series of books on marketing technology topics, we're here to give marketers information and insights to make better decisions.
