Welcome to IMRG Takes On, the new podcast from IMRG, where eCommerce market expert Andy Mulcahy and the veritable Tom Jacobs take on the trends, challenges and events shaping retail and eCommerce – all with a healthy dose of humour.

For our fifth episode, we’ve taken on the future of eCommerce. Andy and Tom explore how AI, autonomous vehicles, hyper-personalisation and 3D printing could transform retail, while asking some bigger questions about what the future might hold. From a world without queues and Christmas shopping to teleportation, time travel, holograms and aliens, they separate the genuinely possible from the “proper futuristic stuff”...and, naturally, decide who would be more likely to survive the end of the world. 

Last episode we explored the past, but now time to take a step back to the future.

For our fourth episode, we've taken on the history of ecommerce. Andy and Tom pit historical figures against one another to decide who would thrive in modern eCommerce roles (could Queen Elizabeth I optimise a search bar?), revisit the moments in history that could have benefitted from online shopping, and look back at the milestones that transformed retail into what it is today.

Hot off the press: this has officially become Tom's favourite episode so far. We suspect his inner history nerd had something to do with it. We hope you enjoy it just as much.
