Tune in as we dive into the latest trends in digital marketing and adtech.
In the second part of this Watchdog Special, we get up close with one of the most defining lawsuits in the history of the digital media industry: DOJ vs. Google. Arielle Garcia was present in the courtroom herself. In this episode she shares her personal insights from the case – what was actually said, what emerged along the way, and how the atmosphere in the courtroom reveals how serious the situation is. We dive into what the antitrust case means for media, advertisers and the entire adtech ecosystem. Are we witnessing the beginning of a real reckoning with Big Tech's dominance? Or will it end as yet another chapter where the structures remain the same? The conversation moves behind the headlines and into the concrete consequences: How Google's market position has shaped the digital ad market What a verdict or a breakup could potentially change And whether the case could become a turning point for the balance in the industry.
In this episode I talk with one of the media industry's absolute heavyweights: Arielle Garcia from Check My Ads Institute. Arielle has experienced the industry from the inside – at the highest level. But what she saw made her change course. Today she works purposefully for greater accountability, transparency and a healthier future for the media ecosystem. In the first part of this Watchdog Special, we dive into Arielle's background, her personal turning point and her perspective on the industry's development. We talk about the structural challenges, the current business models and the monopoly-like conditions shaping the market – and what that means for media, advertisers and agencies.
