Cookieless Targeting: Trends, Insights, and The Future of Digital Media
There has been a lot of hand-wringing around the impact of data privacy on digital advertising — and not without reason. After all, programmatic took off because data — facilitated by 3rd party cookies and mobile identifiers — gave us pinpoint targeting, accurate measurements, and tremendous scale.
With the decline of third-party cookies and the rise of data privacy, the digital advertising industry is at a transition point. Without identifiers, it will be harder to ensure we’re not wasting ad dollars on unlikely consumers. Moreover, our current ad creative process fixing assets against the right audience is outdated and unscalable with the rise of new formats. What is next for marketers? What are the most effective alternatives to target brand audiences across digital environments?
To provide a deeper understanding of the future of digital, specifically on contextual solutions, Phil Schraeder, CEO, GumGum, will present key industry trends and insights on how we as an industry move forward and create effective, targeted content.
Attend this session and learn:
- The current state of audience targeting vs. contextual targeting and how the industry can leverage both
- What can be done to promote innovation and testing of new solutions to reach audiences
- How the industry can achieve better outcomes, consumer experience and scale by combining contextual intelligence with adaptive creative
