        It is widely accepted that the COVID crisis has forced as much change in 10 weeks as was predicted to take place in 10 years, and for businesses around the world this has prompted some major pivoting. Agile, forward thinking companies have been the big winners as business models have been turned on their heads.

Stories of successes are already starting to emerge from the carnage wrought by COVID-19, proving that with any change comes opportunity.

          • Cookieless targeting and how the hell the industry is meant to cope and flourish in a future with no reliance on device ID tracking

            Google’s recent announcement that Chrome will end support for third-party cookies didn’t come as a surprise to anyone. What has taken us by surprise is the reaction of some advertisers who are irrationally walking away from data driven performance advertising and reducing spend in digital. This no doubt comes off the back of an increasing number of brands internalising how they can reach their consumers in this changing and challenging market. For years, brands have benefited from data driven marketing campaigns, using third-party cookies alongside other identifiers and are caught in the headlights as to how to still make addressable campaigns work.


            For publishers, third-party cookies presented several challenges including inefficiencies and lack of transparency and understanding of the value exchange with the consumer. It was the foundation of our digital ecosystem and publishers must now pursue strategies to develop and activate their own audiences.

            This podcast will provide practical advice on how to strengthen your first-party data, improve your ability to provide programmatic guarantees to advertisers and transact via deal IDs, and also how to better personalise content efficiently.
