Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Share Prices, Narratives & AI Experimentation | Christian Printzell Halvorsen, CEO of Vend
Q: What exactly is the AI native team and what might they work on?
The AI native team will operate outside the current organizational structure to rethink the marketplace experience from a consumer-first, agentic perspective, with a starting point of a small, highly capable group empowered to use Vend's data, content, and profiles to prototype radical, user-focused changes.
Share Prices, Narratives & AI Experimentation | Christian Printzell Halvorsen, CEO of Vend
Q: How conscious are you of the need to be a salesperson in your role for the shares of Vend, and has selling the narrative changed since Vend split from Shipstead?
I take the storytelling and investor engagement seriously, traveling to meet investors and explaining why Vend as a standalone entity can perform better, while recognizing it's a long-term narrative that requires consistent delivery of strong products and improvements.
How Do Agents Think About Marketing? With We Are Unchained Founder, Simon Leadbetter
Q: What size of agency typically starts to employ a dedicated marketing or social media specialist?
In the UK, the average estate agency is very small, around 1.9 agents, and you tend to see a marketer emerging once the team grows beyond roughly 10–12 people, with some large brands still lacking formal marketing teams.
How Do Agents Think About Marketing? With We Are Unchained Founder, Simon Leadbetter
Q: Would you say that 29% of agents spending marketing solely on portals is a baseline, or has that fluctuated widely?
The figure surprised us as a baseline, highlighting a segment that relies heavily on portals; the broader trend shows growth in multi-channel marketing among high-performing agents while a substantial portion still leans on a single channel.
AI, Data and Product at Swiss Marketplace Group, with Martin Waeber, Head of Real Estate at SMG
Q: What is SMG's stance on AI and alternative search channels affecting portals, and how will you keep customers engaged?
SMG emphasizes prioritizing strong brand trust, emotive search alongside transactional search, and expanding both on-platform AI features and off-site traffic channels to keep consumers and seekers engaged, rather than relying solely on external AI copilots.
