AdTech

Whether looking to better engage with your audiences through analysis of consumer behaviour to deliver more effective targeted advertising or to offer innovative new ad formats, the use of adtech is now an essential part of every publisher’s monetisation strategy and every advertiser’s commercialisation approach.

Once seen as a niche, technologically complex solution, adtech is now ingrained into commercial models across the advertising ecosystem – from publishers looking to better monetise their valuable content through strategic partnerships, to advertisers aiming to better reach current and prospective customers. Adtech solutions now operate across display, native, social, CTV, (A)VOD, audio and all other channels.

However, the adtech sector in the broadest sense continues to be subject to increased regulatory scrutiny and tightening of privacy laws, as well as being challenged by new legislative frameworks across the globe targeting cookies and similar technologies and behaviourally targeted advertising more broadly.

Further, additional impacts are being felt a result of changing market forces originated by the largest players in the ecosystem, such as the forthcoming end to the use of third-party cookies. The implications of these changes are as vitally important to assess as any new regulatory frameworks.

These developments will redefine the adtech ecosystem and the ability for businesses to collect, track and share consumer personal data. Whether you are a publisher, advertiser or tech platform, it is critical to design for, and adapt to, these changes as they happen.
