自1996年公司成立以来,Peach一直通过自动化帮助广告商将广告准时投放到正确的地方,并提供完整的可追溯性。 

行业在此之前是如何运作的呢?当时有很多录影带,通常通过摩托车(或飞机)运送,再加上信件、传真和无休止的电话,以确保一切都朝着正确的方向走。不仅这个过程效率低下和不可持续,而且无法进行高水平的质量保证,也无法创建足够强大的审计跟踪。Peach改变了这一切。 

今天,我们和Peach的领导团队聊了他们在广告和技术领域的起步、他们在Peach的角色以及公司和整个行业的演变。Shelby Akosa,全球增长部副总裁,创意和制作,以及Ross Priestley,全球增长部副总裁,广告商和品牌,这两人已经在Peach工作了23年,而Dan Shawcross,全球增长部副总裁,电视台和出版商,与CARIA和Peach共事15年。 

在那段时间内,他们帮助从根本上改变了行业,将其从实物资产管理和不存在的技术使用转向自动化、协作和快速响应。我们询问了他们在行业中的起步,他们在Peach的角色如何改变,以及他们每天仍在解决的挑战。




您什么时候第一次加入这个行业,是以什么角色加入的?

Dan: 我在1996年首次加入广告行业,开始为当时属于BT的黄页工作。当时数字时代仍处于非常初期,我离开时他们刚刚推出Yell.com。在内部,它被视为Yahoo的竞争对手——Google那时甚至还没有发明。想象一下,那是一个没有Google的世界。  

后来,我加入了一家名为Optimad的初创公司,旨在颠覆广告生态系统。简而言之,他们的愿景是‘让我们把这一切都放到网上’——就现在你可以在线购买机票,我们也可以将媒体放到网上。不幸的是,市场还没有准备好,大约提前了10到15年。因此,业务方向不得不调整。我们开始为媒体行业构建软件,其中一个项目是CARIA,我从那时起就参与其中。 

Shelby: 我于1999年加入了这个行业和Peach(当时称为IMD Media),并且一直待到了现在。我最初是一名运营执行官,这基本上意味着做任何事情。当时,所有通信要么是传真,要么是电话;电子邮件尚未真正普及。这意味着大多数沟通都是一对一的,没有任何真正的审计或纸质记录。报告是手工和对话性的,完全取决于个人记录信息的能力。 

Ross: 和Shelby一样,我也在1999年加入了Peach。在此之前,我曾在音乐行业工作,并被聘请帮助将广播广告传送到英国各地的电台。当我开始时,大多数全国性广播广告是在Soho制作的,然后需要传送到全国大约250到300个电台;它们再次通过录音带或卫星系统传送,而当苏格兰下雨时,卫星系统常常失灵。我们开发了一种数字化音频文件并通过ISDN发送的方法——当时感觉非常先进和未来化。我们解决了一个非常棘手的问题。

除此之外,作为第12名员工,我的一部分工作还包括每周一次的吸尘——新员工似乎不再需要这样做了!

在广播成功后,我协助将我们在广播中启动的服务复制到当时更大的问题:向电视台发送广告。广播很重要,但电视是个庞然大物。所有这些美丽的广告片,都是在昂贵的地点拍摄的,再次用磁带传送,并由摩托车运送。我们希望将行业从通过实物流传媒体转变为以一种高效的、数字化的、环保的方式将广告传送到电视台。我很高兴地说我们成功了。 

 

您在首次加入时,Peach主要帮助客户解决哪些挑战?

Dan: 那时出现了几个重大变化,市场在快速变化和增长。电视频道的数量增加,使得电视台难以应对广告的涌入。工作流程并没有随市场同步发展,而是仍然依赖于纸质化。如果市场要有效运营,工作流程需要进行大幅改变,即避免仅仅依靠大量人力去处理文书工作。 

代理购买市场也需要改变。它需要跳出手工操作:大品牌用寄信方式预订播出时段。 这正是需要改变和改进的工作流程的经典例子。我们填补了代理购买市场的空缺,让两方都看到一个处于中间的、对等的创新平台带来的好处。媒体代理公司使用它来进行叫位,并让他们更好地管理工作流程,而不是人们邮寄信件、传真或通过电子邮件。而媒体所有者则得到了一个完全可以自动化管理的系统。 

我们只需要说服代理公司我们是中间人,不是广电公司的人,这个创新会让每个人受益。幸运的是,这是真的,他们相信了我们!

Shelby: 多年来,我们在连接各类公司和广告执行中涉及的各种角色方面发挥了越来越重要的作用。所以最终我们尝试确保平台为所有协作者提供正确信息。想想创意代理,他们围绕活动有一定的信息。媒体代理、后期制作公司和电视台——每个人都有不同的角色和责任,他们可能都有同一个目的,即把这个惊人的创意推出去。但是每个人在路上都有不同的挑战。 

我们设计了我们的服务和平台以确保最大程度的透明度和审计追踪。这并不总是关于今天会发生什么,而是关于三个月前发生了什么,关键是能够回过头来在任何时候查看发生了什么。 

Ross: 在Peach出现之前的主要挑战是无尽的磁带。或者你得使用一种叫做Playout的行业计划系统,来专门安排你的广告发送时间窗。如果错过了档期,你就会被卡住。可以想象,这压力很大,影响了代理商和广告商对事件做出反应的能力,而且还非常贵。我们必须说服电视台,我们可以保证他们获得的高质量与这些非常昂贵的磁带一样,并且我们可以保证安全性。 

接下来,下一个挑战则是超越英国,看到那些低效的流程在全世界都存在。我们需要回应广告行业日益国际化的趋势。像Tag和Hogarth这样的组织在说,‘嘿,你不必在100个市场中进行制作’。但最终你得到了这样的局面:在一个国家制作的所有广告,需要发送到其他100个国家。 

一开始,适配机构通过飞机发送磁带,它们卡在海关里。通过扩展我们的数字网络并与当地市场的其他供应商建立合作关系,我们改变了这一现象,帮助广告客户在全球进行制作,并在几小时内向世界各地的电视台传送广告。

 

能和我们谈谈你今天的工作角色,以及典型的工作日是什么样的吗?

Dan: CARIA和Peach已经存在很长时间了。随着市场的演变,需求发生了变化,我花了很多时间和电视台合作,研究我们如何最好地满足这些需求。 

Shelby: 我在疫情期间被提升到全球角色,没法坐飞机,而是在我的备用房间里开会,远不如预期那么迷人。我们最近发布了很多新产品、服务和举措,所以我确保我们的销售团队拥有所需的培训和销售文件,如何最好地沟通我们的解决方案或如何更好解决没有现有解决方案的新问题。会议的时间可能是早上7点,与悉尼开始,或者是8点与东京,然后全天与全球团队合作。虽然很棒,但都在同一个地方——我迫不及待地想再次亲自去拜访人们。 

我一直以来热爱在Peach工作的原因是和客户的接触。没有两个客户的工作方式是相同的,因此它确实让我保持警觉! 

我们更多地与创意代理合作,以解开数字内容的混乱。数字活动和技术的激增意味着我们可以创建更多的内容,但数字流程几乎和1999年的电视流程一样。这很疯狂。媒体机构不知道内容从哪里来,他们知道已经预订了,但仅此而已。需要有更多的可视性和少一些对虚空的尖叫。 

Ross: 我觉得很幸运,我没有一个典型的工作日。通常,我的一天涉及到与广告商们交流,了解他们的动向以确保我们的产品可以朝正确的方向发展。 

我还和代理商们交谈,他们是我们帮助品牌解决面临挑战的伙伴,看看我们能怎么帮忙。如果我不在和客户和伙伴交谈,那么你通常可以看到我从我们的系统中检索数据,以向广告商展示有用的见解,或通过知识加强地方销售和客户管理团队,让他们了解现在对广告商重要的事情以及如何成功地与之接触。

 

你今天面临的挑战是什么?其中有哪个是真正的新挑战吗?

Dan: 大多数情况下,它们是我们过去见过的问题,只是以不同的方式呈现。世界变了,技术使很多事情成为可能。25年前,几乎没有技术。今天,我们拥有很多技术,但我们不能被技术带领着走(尽管Instagram的算法很努力)。技术必须在正确的时间为适当的人在生态系统中履行其有用的功能。 

我们把Peach视为一个灵活的平台。我们希望为生态系统中的不同参与者提供一个共同的平台,例如代理公司、品牌和媒体所有者,并为他们{

No more chocolate at breakfast? Navigating the new LHF ad rules this Easter

As ad compliance requirements evolve in 2026, UK confectionery brands face new restrictions on less healthy food (LHF) advertising. With the January 5 watershed now in effect, ad quality assurance systems must validate timing, placement, and product identifiability to avoid clearance failures this Easter season.

The future of inclusion: How Cape.io powered Virgin Media Television’s fully accessible ad break during the Men’s Six Nations

As Channel 4’s closed-captioning mandate came into effect in March 2026, Cape.io partnered with Virgin Media Television, Omnicom Media Group and VoiceBox to deliver a truly accessible ad break during the Guinness Men’s Six Nations. More than ad compliance, this moment proved that accessibility can operate at the highest level of live sports broadcasting.

Navigating Channel 4’s 2026 closed caption mandate

As ad compliance requirements tighten across the UK and Europe, closed captioning has evolved from an accessibility checkbox to a strategic necessity. Whether you're managing CTV campaigns or social media creative, automated ad testing for caption quality is no longer optional - it's fundamental to reaching today's fragmented, multi-screen audiences.

The advertising landscape is facing a seismic shift. By March 1, Channel 4 will become the first UK broadcaster to mandate closed captions across all advertising - including linear TV, streaming, and sponsorships.

The mandate is  a redefined standard for global inclusivity. Here is everything you need to know about the new mandate and how to stay ahead of the curve.

One platform, many realities: How creative automation platforms resolve the global vs. local tension

Scaling global marketing without losing local relevance requires more than brand guidelines and templates - it requires a creative automation platform designed for both global control and local flexibility. Most systems optimize for standardization, but scaling ad creative production across markets demands architecture that enables creative variation and adaptation by local experts without fragmenting brand governance.

Many global advertisers are chasing the same ideal: scale without losing relevance.

Consistency without uniformity.
Efficiency without bureaucracy.

It sounds simple. In practice, it’s one of the hardest tensions to resolve in modern marketing.

The global vs. local challenge isn’t new, but it’s becoming more urgent. As brands expand across markets, channels, and cultures, the question is no longer whether you should scale globally, but how you do so without erasing the nuance that makes marketing effective in the first place.

Everyone is looking for this balance. Very few get it right.

The guardrails of growth: Why creative intelligence demands compliance

Generative AI can produce thousands of creative variants, but most compliance systems are still manual, fragmented, and reactive, unable to keep pace with today’s velocity. To move fast without breaking things, the industry needs a new approach: real-time verification, programmatic enforcement, and end-to-end visibility. Embedded inside the stack, not bolted on at the end.
