Ecommerce Meetups Los Angeles

Leveraging AI for Omnichannel Success

We are hosting a productive dinner night for around 25 e-commerce leaders in Downtown LA on Wednesday, 27th May. The topic on paper is Leveraging AI for Omnichannel Success. The real reason we're doing it is to put a group of operators in one room who don't usually get to share a table. A few of the brands already coming: GuruNanda, KingsLand, Neuma Beauty, Sunco, Tote&Carry, U Beauty. When: **Wednesday, 27th May, 6:00 PM PT** Where: **The Inanna Bar, Hoxton Downtown LA** RSVP: **https://luma.com/8k92dhz3** Just personalised cocktails, sharp peers, and the kind of honest conversation you usually only get one-on-one. If you're a founder or growth lead at a DTC, retail, or marketplace brand and want a seat at this one, RSVP above or send me a DM. Also happy to take one or two referrals. If there's someone in this group who you think should absolutely be at this table, tag them in the comments and I'll reach out. See you in LA.

From Months to Days: How AI Is Rewriting Commercial Production

Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at how AI is transforming commercial production—and what it takes to build creative systems that actually perform. Jethro Rothe-Kushel is the Founder & CEO of Ritual Ads, a studio using AI to take brands from concept to finished commercial in days—not months—while improving performance through rapid iteration and real-time analytics. After more than 20 years producing major campaigns for brands like Google, Apple, and Amazon, Jethro saw firsthand how slow, expensive, and inefficient traditional production could be. Instead of accepting that model, he built something different. At Ritual Ads, the commercial production process is reimagined end-to-end—using AI to move from storyboard to finished spot in days, not months, while enabling faster iteration, real-time testing, and stronger performance. In this session, Jethro will break down how this approach works in practice, including: * How AI is compressing the timeline of commercial production * Why more iteration leads to better creative outcomes * What a modern “creative + performance” stack actually looks like * Lessons learned building and scaling a system designed for speed, consistency, and results This is a practical, real-world look at how advertising is evolving—and what builders, marketers, creatives, operators, and investors need to understand to stay ahead. *** ### **About the Speaker** Jethro Rothe-Kushel is the Founder & CEO of Ritual Ads, a studio using AI to take brands from concept to finished commercial with speed, precision, and measurable performance. He brings over 20 years of experience across film, television, and advertising, having produced major campaigns for leading brands including Apple, Netflix, American Express, Google, and Amazon. He is a former VP of the Producers Guild of America, representing thousands of top producers nationwide. Earlier in his career, Jethro documented the lives of people experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles—work that contributed to major public funding efforts and long-term housing initiatives. That experience continues to inform his belief in storytelling as a force for real-world change. Today, he leads Ritual Ads at the intersection of AI and storytelling, helping brands move faster while staying authentic and effective. *** **Networking** Come early to connect with fellow founders, technologists, creatives, and community members. Friday Coffee Meetup is as much about the people in the room as it is about the conversation on stage.

Live Comedy/Baking Show (w/Dessert)

The most unhinged baking show you’ve never seen. Bake Stuff with Lindsay is a live, audience-immersive baking experience where chaos is encouraged and we actually eat the results. It’s a fever dream for anyone who’s ever wished TV bakers would loosen up, get messier, and curse a little (a lot) more. Along the way, we attempt to answer important questions like: Do feelings matter more than the recipe? and Does the 5 second rule count with liquids too? What to expect • Live baking (in real time, with real stakes) • Audience involvement throughout the show (games, prizes, FUN) • \*SPECIAL GUESTS\*, commentary, and mild spiraling • Questionable decisions, emotional detours, and laughter • Dessert served (assuming nothing is completely destroyed) **May Theme:** Memorial Day: Choose Your Battles (Flavors that Clash) **We're Making:** Surprise **Guests include:** Kyle Ayers (Never Seen It), Daniel Webb (Netflix), Dylan Adler (Comedy Central), and Gabby Lamb Price of Tickets (Includes dessert & potential Prizes): $15 Presale, $20 day of **Ticket Link**: [BUY TICKETS](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bake-stuff-with-lindsay-tickets-1989431735876) \*Admission is only valid through ticket link, Meetup RSVP does not count as a ticket
