Yesterday at the 2026 OOH Media Conference, @IABTechLab's @anthonykatsur joined @YourOAAA's Patrick Dolan on stage to explore how AI is changing media buying in the session, “Agentic Buying Is Here: Will OOH Be Chosen or Ignored?” The conversation focused on what happens as AI systems increasingly make planning and buying decisions — and what the OOH industry needs to do to stay visible in that ecosystem. One key takeaway: the challenge isn’t whether OOH works. It’s whether AI systems are equipped to recognize its value. #OOH2026

You may have never heard of MoPub. Or MAX. But they built the invisible rails of mobile advertising. @jimpayne did both. MoPub was the mobile ad exchange that wired up the smartphone internet — sold to Twitter in one of the defining ad tech exits of its era. MAX became the mediation layer that every major app publisher depends on today. Two companies. Two categories defined. And now Jim is back for a third time with @cloudx, leveraging the largest computing shift of our lifetimes -- AI. Most founders never get one of these right. Jim has done it twice — and he's not done. On Episode 31 of the @humanunicornpod, we get into the full arc: what he learned building at scale during the mobile boom, why he kept coming back, what founders consistently get wrong about timing and distribution, and what he's seeing now that makes CloudX the bet of his career. Three-time founders are a different species. This one will show you why. 🎧 Link in comments
