🎙️ New episode of The Cred Podcast! This week, Mack sits down with Terence Kawaja, founder and CEO of LUMA Partners and a leading voice in the ad tech industry. Terry shares his unique approach to decision-making: quick calls on small matters, but always hitting the “pause button” on bigger decisions. "I usually have a gut instinct right away, but I sit on it, sleep on it, and think it over before making big decisions.” Hear about bold moves he’s made that paid off, and why sometimes ruffling feathers is the right call. Plus, stay tuned for Terry's industry predictions for the year ahead! 🎧 Listen now: https://lnkd.in/e5_hxreA #TheCredPodcast #AdTech #DecisionMaking #Leadership #IndustryPredictions #LumaPartners

The digital advertising sector has never had to overcome so much adversity and uncertainty as in the last 24 months. From a litany of macro variables that threatened recession, a stock market valuation reset, the potential for foundational signal loss, fervent government antitrust interjection and the worst M&A market in over a decade, navigating a path forward has not been easy. And yet, as we approach 2025, we find the industry poised for a turnaround. Ready? Set. Go! lays out the case for optimism and why everyone on the LUMAscape should buckle up for a big year ahead.
