Listen Later

In the first episode of 2025, the Space Bar podcast team review the big eCommerce stories of the past 12 months before looking ahead to what 2025 will bring.

Guest host Jonny Taylor, Head of Marketing at Dark Matter Commerce, pits two experts — leading eCommerce consultant, Pete Robertshaw, and Dark Matter Commerce CEO, Jon Woodall — against the ‘all-knowing’ AI to answer the question: who is better at predicting the future?

Pete and Jon discuss the fast-emerging trends changing digital commerce today, from the unstoppable rise of social commerce (despite TikTok’s potential US ban) to the B2B ‘explosion’ that’s being championed by B2C best practices.
