Where Digital Marketing Minds Meet: The DMEXCO Podcast is your backstage pass to the people shaping the future of digital marketing, media, and commerce. Every two weeks, Verena Gründel, DMEXCO host, Marketing Expert and former Chief Editor, talks to the brightest minds in the industry – from bold agency founders and disruptive CMOs to global C-level executives and change-makers.
We go beyond the buzzwords. Together, we decode the strategies, trends, and transformations behind real business impact – and dive into how companies are using data, creativity, and technology to win attention, drive conversion, and scale sustainably.
We get to know the people behind the change. Our guests share candid insights, untold stories, and actionable ideas from inside the engine rooms of digital marketing – and from their personal journey and passion. Last but not least we ask all our guests one pivotal question: What’s your personal conversion hack?
