Search every verified Tim Armstrong interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Tim Armstrong, founder and CEO of Flowcode, appeared on the LionTree Podcast in May 2026 to discuss his company's focus on connecting physical-world moments with digital engagement. Armstrong stated that "81% of the economy is in the real world" and described Flowcode's proposition as "connecting the real world economy to the digital economy" through QR-powered interactions. He predicted that live events and in-person brand engagement will continue to grow, and argued that the next 12 to 14 months will be defined by a combination of AI and technology with human capabilities. Armstrong also offered several predictions about the advertising and software industries. He said that advertising "is going to get astronomically expensive" due to limited space and traffic declines of 7 to 40% for major brands, and suggested that the term "advertising" should be replaced with "service tizing," meaning brands will need to provide a deep service when marketing to people. He also predicted that large SaaS companies running their business models on complexity and integration charges will see that model go away, replaced by tooling that runs businesses in real time.
