EVENT DEBRIEF
CES 2025: Measurement Takes Center Stage
By Rory Sale, Fospha

At CES 2025, I joined industry leaders from Amazon Ads, Walmart Connect, TikTok, Pinterest, Snap, and many other leading tech companies to explore the latest innovations and insights. A key theme stood out: measurement has moved to the forefront of advertising discussions, with AI accelerating our ability to address growing privacy concerns.

My Key Takeaways:

• Restoring the Value Exchange: Privacy challenges are reshaping the internet’s core model. AI bridges the gap by enabling performance measurement while safeguarding user data.

• Storytelling That Resonates: Engaging, tailored stories foster stronger connections. Meet your audience where they are for maximum impact.

• Retail Media’s Surge: Amazon’s Retail Connect underscores retail media’s rapid growth. The challenge? Comparing cross-channel performance effectively.

• Privacy & ROI: New tracking limits complicate proving ROI. AI-driven tools offer accurate, privacy-compliant measurement.

• Simplifying Martech: The fragmented digital ad landscape demands clarity. AI streamlines processes with user-friendly, jargon-free solutions. AI-powered tools make it easier to deliver clear, jargon-free solutions.

King Koil Canada's move into Quebec marks a strategic pivot towards direct sales, capturing one of the country's largest markets. This expansion underscores a dynamic shift in their approach, emphasizing direct relationships with Quebec's retail partners starting January 1, 2025. Breaking away from a 15-year-long partnership with Mirabel Mattress and its owner, Guy Tousignant, the company is clearly aiming to enhance their influence and market accessibility in this province.

As soon as the first quarter of 2025, these new product offerings will begin to reshape the purchasing landscape for Quebecois consumers, echoing the brand's commitment to delivering premium sleep solutions. This line not only promises luxury but strategically aligns with consumer demands for health-conscious sleeping options.

The decision to reclaim direct sales control in Quebec reflects a sharpened focus on data-driven, relationship-based marketing. By reestablishing direct connections, King Koil Canada seeks to tighten its grip on the lucrative Quebec market—a province home to over 9 million people. This transition doesn't merely signify a shift in logistics; it heralds an age of transformative growth, where strategic foresight is matched with actionable insight.
