As we rapidly approach the end of cookie-based targeting, marketers are seeking new strategies, technologies, and solutions that will enable them to reliably maximize the return on their media investments. In the programmatic world, this means putting more emphasis on contextual strategies that combine first- and third-party data with AI and dynamic creatives.
In this episode, we explore our final 10x10 series topic, "the cookieless world," with Solutions & Innovation Strategy Head Divya Acharya hosting Oracle Advertising's Sales GVP Marc Grabowski. This conversation will walk marketers through the biggest ramifications of the impending cookieless world as well as the recommended ways to adapt to it -- including both long-established and cutting-edge strategies.

With the digital media industry facing more complexity and uncertainty than ever, brands are showing rising interest in outcome-based strategies that guarantee business results from their marketing investments. But some brands don’t have a full understanding of what “outcome media” really is, how it really works, what it accomplishes, why it matters, or where it’s going next. In episode 7 of our “People of Programmatic” podcast, part of our 10x10 series to herald Xaxis’ tenth anniversary, our guests help grapple with the challenges of having to show value for every dollar spent, when to rely on outcome media — as well as its pitfalls.

What is Outcome Media?
Outcome media is fundamentally about data, and about using that data across the spectrum of brand marketing and performance marketing, which have traditionally been seen as representing two sides of a divide.
Outcome Media help marketers focus
Outcome-based media will, our guests concur, be even more important as cookies start to diminish and first-party data become more important. Marketers can use the data that is available along with the metrics they’ve established to set hypotheses, test, analyze and continually improve to achieve their brands’ objectives.
