  Genuin Connections: Episode 19 -- Mindie Kaplan, EVP Growth & Marketing at MediaMint

  Aug 18, 202637 minS1

  Mindie Kaplan built an AR/VR agency from scratch in 2016, sold it to MediaMint, and spent the years since figuring out what "human plus AI" really means for one of the ad industry's biggest operations partners. Now EVP of Growth and Marketing, she talks with Matt Wurst about her path from founder to executive, how a single client's messy workflow became MediaMint's AI product Mia, and why some of the world's biggest brands are still duct-taping together their tech stack. They also get into the Million Mammogram Challenge, the campaign Mindie started after catching her own early-stage breast cancer, now aiming for a million mammograms scheduled by 2028. A conversation about founders, AI, and building things that matter beyond the P&L.

  Recorded live at the 2026 Cannes Lions, Genuin Connections host Matt Wurst sits down with Brian Kaminsky, Chief Operating Officer at Infillion, for a sharp, no-hype conversation about where advertising is actually headed. Brian has spent 20+ years scaling media businesses, from HuffPost and Reuters to more than a decade inside iHeart's ad tech world. In this episode he breaks down the shift from programmatic to agentic advertising, why the next generation of media buying changes what's possible, and how Infillion's composable, open approach is built to free marketers from walled gardens and all-or-nothing platforms. The two get into the move past AI hype toward AI that actually works, Infillion's acquisition of Catalina and what SKU-level shopper data unlocks for CPG brands, open web measurement with walled-garden fidelity, and the part of this business that stays human no matter how much automation arrives. If you work in advertising, media, marketing, or ad tech, this one rewards a full listen.
