DoorDash's Espinosa: Bridging National Media with Local Demand
In an episode of Brave Commerce published by Adweek, Toby Espinosa, vice president of ads at DoorDash, discusses how DoorDash scaled a fast-growing retail media network and the next phase of growth for commerce media. Espinosa highlights the need to make performance comparable across platforms, partners, and budgets to unlock national media spend, and describes tension between local trade dollars and national marketing budgets and how CPG organizations split ownership of those dollars. He also explains that aligning trade and media around shared outcomes and delivering consistent, comparable reporting builds trust and long-term investment. Espinosa argues that AI can speed integrations, reduce the cost of connecting data, and raise targeting and outcome standards across commerce media.
