In this episode of E-coffee with Experts, our host Austin Willman chats with David Pocock, Owner of TwoTwoSix Digital, and explains why modern marketing success depends on clarity, brand search optimisation, smarter segmentation, and adapting to AI-driven discovery platforms like Google AI Overviews and emerging answer engines.
You’ll learn how agencies can improve client retention through education, why attribution models are becoming less reliable, and what leaders should measure instead. David also shares practical strategies for adapting paid media campaigns across multiple channels as platforms like ChatGPT and Reddit introduce advertising ecosystems.
We also explore how AI is changing SEO execution, where automation helps (and where it fails), and what founders and marketing leaders should prioritise in the next 12 months to stay competitive.
If you’re running an agency, managing growth marketing, or leading digital strategy inside a company, this conversation will help you rethink how performance marketing actually works in 2026.
