Mobility media is turning everyday rides into powerful brand moments—blending digital precision with real-world presence to deliver contextual, location-aware ad experiences. While these new ad formats drive a lot of value for brands, there are still challenges in scaling mobility-based ad network, from responsible data use, and what it means to create seamless, omnichannel campaigns.

From pioneering streaming audio to redefining rideshare advertising, Matt shares his journey and Lyft’s transformation into a dynamic, data-driven media platform. Listen for a glimpse into what’s next for Lyft Media—from AI and smart cities to the future of autonomous advertising.
