Behind the Numbers: an EMARKETER Podcast

On today’s podcast, we discuss what surprised us most about this year’s Prime Day, how shoppers are approaching the mega-event differently, how Amazon is using technology to make shopping easier—or more complicated—and the biggest lesson for its competitors.

Tune in to hear a discussion featuring Vice President of Content and host Suzy Davidkhanian and Principal Analysts Sky Canaves and Zak Stambor.
