Workshop

For the last 20 years, advertisers have relied on the cookie for connecting, enabling, and measuring the buying, selling, and efficacy of their digital advertising. But that’s about to change. Firefox and Apple have sunset third-party cookies. Google is set to do the same in 2022. When that happens, critical connectors that advertisers rely on will break and there is no like-for-like replacement on the horizon. So what are tangible steps your organization can take to prepare? Join Derek Baker, Principal and CMO Advisory leader at PwC, Naresh Chaudhary, Director in the CMO Advisory Practice  and Alex Macht, Manager in the CMO Advisory Practice and MarTech subject matter specialist, to begin arming your organization for success in a post-cookie, privacy-first world.

Attend this session and learn:
● What is the FLOC path forward
● How to help simplify the complexity and understand your activation and measurement options
● When to take the first steps and how to build a roadmap to a cookieless media activation and measurement environment

Let’s be honest: you rely on first party data to drive your marketing strategy, but the scalability and utility can often be underwhelming. Current customers are the best representation of the kind of consumer likely to buy your product or service, and if identified correctly, can drive significant growth for your business. The process of leveraging first party data involves identifying defining characteristics of the customer base and then focusing prospecting efforts on the non-customers that share these same characteristics. The process needs to be done strategically and flawlessly, but when done correctly can be extremely rewarding. Join ENGINE as we focus on best practices for leveraging first party data effectively and efficiently to drive your bottom line.

TV audiences are migrating toward content and services found more frequently over the internet rather than traditional TV. What does this mean for advertisers? More ways to connect with customers through the biggest screen in the house, for one thing. But without the right data for planning, optimization and measurement, all the additional inventory in the world is meaningless.

Striking the right balance across all forms of TV and digital is paramount. Yet finding unduplicated reach in the fragmented TV landscape is increasingly challenging. And with pressure to demonstrate the efficacy of TV ads on driving outcomes; brands are too often asking which is more important: reach, or results? The good news is, it’s no longer an either / or world. Today’s advanced advertising tools, robust TV audience data, and addressable inventory are pillars of success for maximizing both reach and outcomes.

Join Raghu Kodige, Chief Product Officer at LG Ads, as he discusses best practices for combining granular TV and addressable inventory for cross-screen campaign success, and demonstrates the tools and technologies that are revolutionizing TV media.
