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.
