How digital out-of-home can meet the data privacy moment
Apple’s iOS 14.5 privacy changes, which force apps to get explicit consent to track user behavior, tore through the ad tech ecosystem like a tornado. The privacy policy Apple calls App Tracking Transparency (ATT), coupled with the expansion of data privacy laws and Google’s upcoming elimination of third-party cookies (though not until 2023) has forced advertisers used to one-to-one targeting to reassess their data practices. It’s even caused many to wonder whether adtech – and the many businesses dependent on one-to-one targeting using cookies or mobile advertising IDs for user acquisition and engagement – will crumble in an era focused on consumer consent.
NFTs, Hybrid Commerce, and More for Advertising in an Unpredictable and Complicated Reality
NFTs are new tools in the marketing technology stack for brands to use to reaffirm loyalty and amplify cultural impact. Brands ceding control to consumers has been one of the fundamental tenets of digital marketing. NFTs promise to accelerate and amplify consumer control with the ability for consumers to take authentic and documented ownership of the brands they love.
Political Spending Poised to Drive CTV Ad Spend Ahead of U.S. Midterms
While COVID-19 will be a lingering source of uncertainty, it shouldn’t be considered the defining factor in the growth of connected TV (CTV) specifically. It’s true the pandemic disrupted the advertising industry as a whole — including an initial significant downshift in advertising and reduced media spending followed by ~15.6% growth in 2021. Predictions for 2022, however, suggest a return to pre-pandemic levels of spending, and the opportunities for savvy marketers to harness the advantages CTV offers make it a prime candidate for that spending.
