What happened

In this episode of Brave Commerce, Rachel Tipograph and Sarah Hofstetter speak with Grace Kao, chief marketing officer at Snap Inc., about how changing consumer behaviors are reshaping the way brands build relationships and drive growth.

Why it matters

Grace shares why marketing is shifting from one-way messaging toward more community-driven, two-way engagement, and what brands can learn from the rise of chat and conversational commerce.

She also discusses the role of creativity as AI and other technologies evolve, how brands can show up authentically in more personal spaces, and the challenge of balancing innovation with the growing pressure to prove ROI.

Key takeaways: The future of brand engagement is increasingly two-way, requiring marketers to contribute value rather than simply broadcast messages.
