In a special edition of the NDA Meets podcast, NDA Editor Justin Pearse sat down with one of the advertising industry's most influential figures, Sir Martin Sorrell, Founder and Executive Chairman of S4 Capital.

He believes CTV advertising holds the potential for huge growth and will help "analog media start tapping into the addressable market". The only hurdle on its growth is talent, he says. "When the market is doubling in size, how do you find the right people?"

The rise of first-party data is another huge opportunity but one of the biggest challenges for brands is that "the burden of history weighs them down due to legacy systems."

He also discusses the need for "analog advertisers to move to the digital planet."

"There is a world where there is growth and there is a world where is no growth. There's a world people look at the sky and there's a world where people look at their boots. The five holding company CEOs look at their boots," he says.

For the latest in our NDA Meets podcast series, we sit down with Stian Remaad, Co-founder and CEO of Adnuntius, to discuss how his platform addresses the issues facing the advertising industry in the post-cookie world.

For the latest in our NDA Meets podcast series, we sit down with Amy Williams, Founder and CEO of Good-Loop, and founding member of The Conscious Advertising Network.

"There's been a huge rise in purposeful marketing and brands' desire to do good and adtech kind of missed the memo on that," she says.

She discusses what the digital ad industry needs to do to address the potential harm it can wreak on the planet, especially with programmatic advertising especially culpable for its share of the 2% of the internet's total carbon footprint, itself larger than that oif the airline industry.

For the latest in our NDA Meets podcast series, we sit down with Mikal Rohde, Founder, Adnuntius to discuss why his platform is the answer to programmatic’s issues around cost and transparency.

The conversation ranges from how to deal with the problem of the “the unknown delta”, identified by ISBA which forms around one-third of programmatic supply chain costs to changing publisher and advertiser relationships as technological solutions such as Adnuntius enable direct connections between the two.
