AI agents, AdTech, programmatic advertising, AI automation, media buying - this episode explores how AI is quietly reshaping the advertising industry from the inside.

AI agents are already buying ads, optimizing campaigns, and changing how media buying works. But will AI actually replace marketers and media buyers - or just make the biggest platforms even stronger?

In this episode of Decoding Oblivion, Eva sits down with Vlad Chejkov, founder of Blockchain Ads and board member at Nexus, to break down what’s really happening inside AdTech right now.

What’s covered:

• Why AI agents are already buying ads autonomously
• Whether AI will replace media buyers
• Why Google and Meta may become even stronger because of AI
• How AI changes programmatic advertising and DSPs
• The role of AI in campaign optimization and targeting
• Why on-chain data is becoming valuable for advertising
• The future of AI-driven advertising infrastructure
• Why ChatGPT could become a new advertising platform

ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity are quietly replacing Google as the discovery engine for buyers. AI search optimization (GEO) is becoming the new SEO - and most brands are nowhere to be found inside AI-generated answers. Web3, AI visibility, B2B marketing - this episode covers it.

If ChatGPT doesn’t recommend your brand when someone asks “what’s the best X” - you might as well not exist. That’s the new reality.

In this episode, Pierre-Louis Jérôme (Co-Founder of Geonimo) and Loïs Guilhou (Head of Sales) break down how AI models actually pick brands to recommend, why traditional SEO is losing ground fast, and what companies need to do right now to stay visible in the AI era.

What’s covered:

— GEO vs SEO: what’s actually different and why it matters

— How ChatGPT and AI assistants choose which brands to mention

— Why AI visibility is becoming a make-or-break for B2B

— How buyer decisions are shifting from Google to AI assistants

— What “AI as the new decision engine” looks like in practice

— How Geonimo helps companies track and improve AI visibility

🎙️ Featuring:

Pierre-Louis Jérôme - Co-Founder, Geonimo

Loïs Guilhou - Head of Sales, Geonimo

In this episode of Decoding Oblivion, we explore a new reality where AI can launch tokens, trade, and generate revenue on its own. What happens when agents don't just execute tasks — but earn, reinvest, and operate independently?

Our guest, Mauricio Trujillo, CEO and co-founder of Claw Pump — a gasless token launchpad built specifically for AI agents on Solana — breaks down how this new “agentic economy” works, why AI needs its own financial infrastructure, and what it means for builders, investors, and everyone else.

We talk about:

— how AI agents can make money (without human involvement)

— why giving agents financial access changes everything

— the concept of self-funding AI systems

— building infrastructure for autonomous agents

— and how you can start experimenting with this today

This isn't theory anymore — it's already happening.

Our guest, Gerald, founder of Ethermail, breaks down:

— why email hasn’t fundamentally changed in decades

— how connecting email with crypto wallets reshapes communication

— what Web3 email actually is (and how it differs from Gmail)

— how users can control who reaches them, and even get rewarded for their attention

— why spam might become obsolete

Media isn’t dying. It’s being rebuilt in real time.

In this episode of Decoding Oblivion, I sit down with Fred Lai, a strategic communications expert with a background in journalism, digital media, and blockchain. The conversation breaks down what’s actually happening to modern media, from collapsing ad models to fragmented attention and platform-controlled distribution.

We cover shifting credibility, why traditional outlets still matter (sometimes), and how trust is becoming more complex. From niche publications to finfluencers, the rules of media are changing fast.

Where does AI truly add value in newsrooms? And why is most content becoming commoditized, with only a small percentage driven by real originality?

This is a look at the evolution of media, what’s breaking, what’s adapting, and what comes next.

In the first episode of Decoding Oblivion, I sit down with Rodi Patlis, co-founder of LeadGet, a B2B outbound growth agency ranked in the top 10% of Smartlead users worldwide by replies and deals created. We talk about how outreach has evolved, what automation actually changes, and why the old rules around “cold vs warm” don’t really apply anymore.

We unpack where AI genuinely adds value in the sales process and where it still falls short. We discuss personalization, scale, deliverability, and why most teams are still making the same mistakes even with better tools. This episode is about what’s actually working behind the scenes in modern B2B growth. No hype, no exaggerated claims. Just practical insight from someone building and testing these systems every day.

On Decoding Oblivion, I sit down with founders, operators, and builders working with AI, automation, adtech, and emerging tech to talk about how growth really works today.

This podcast exists because the rules have changed.

Marketing isn’t driven by big ideas and gut feeling anymore. It’s shaped by algorithms, data, and automated systems making decisions in real time. Most of that happens quietly, behind the tools we use every day, and that’s what we’re here to unpack.

Each episode is a conversation about what’s actually happening inside modern growth stacks:

what tools people rely on, what’s breaking, what’s overhyped, and what’s quietly becoming essential.

This isn’t a show about trends for the sake of trends.

It’s about understanding the systems shaping attention, demand, and behavior especially in crypto, AI and fast-moving tech environments.

Whether you’re building a company, working in marketing, or simply trying to understand how automation and AI are changing the game, Decoding Oblivion is here to help you make sense of it.

Less noise.

More signal.

Let’s decode it.

Thanks for listening.This is Decoding Oblivion.
