Paid Media in 2026: What’s Driving Results Now
About this Event
ABOUT THE PRESENTATION
Paid media is no longer about “running ads.” It is about building intelligent systems that combine creative, data, and platform automation. In this session, attendees will learn what strategies are actually driving results right now and which legacy tactics are quietly draining budgets. We will break down how platform AI is reshaping campaign structure, targeting, and optimization, and what marketers must control vs what they should let the algorithm handle.
Attendees will also walk away with a clearer understanding of how creative has become the primary lever for performance, why audience-first strategy still matters in an AI-driven world, and how to align paid media with broader brand and revenue goals rather than chasing short-term metrics.
ABOUT ASHLEY MONK
Ashley Monk is the founder and CEO of Onya, a digital marketing agency that helps organizations turn marketing activity into measurable business growth.
She has built Onya around a simple belief: marketing should not create more noise or more reporting. It should help leaders understand what is working, where growth is coming from, and what needs to change when results are not there.
Ashley works with organizations that have real outcomes on the line, helping them connect strategy, paid media, social media, creative, and measurement into marketing that moves with the business.
Her approach is direct, practical, and rooted in the idea that strong marketing starts with understanding the organization before deciding what to execute.
As a founder, she is especially interested in the gap between what marketing teams are doing and what leadership actually needs marketing to produce.
