Greg Deacon is VP of Media Ads, Key Accounts and Business Development at Snappy Shopper, a leading UK-based Q-Commerce player. In this episode, he joins Daniel to explore the evolution of quick commerce, the growing importance of independent retailers and the opportunities retail media creates for FMCG brands. They discuss how digital shopping is reshaping store formats, product strategies and consumer behaviour—and why brands that continue treating quick commerce as a secondary channel risk being left behind.
