Digiday Programmatic Marketing Summit LIVE

Join us as we walk through how programmatic is being impacted by the new normal.

With buzzwords like “banner blindness” and “cord cutting” in the back of advertisers’ minds over the last decade, the industry movement in adapting programmatic buying technologies to the way consumers use media today has slowly inched along. But with consumers forced to stay at home, going to online channels for both COVID-19 news as well as entertainment throughout much of 2020, the staggering year-over-year growth in consumption in streaming video, OTT and “snackable” content (like Tik Tok, Twitter, etc.) has opened a new, very scalable realm for programmatic advertisers to reach consumers. In this session Katie Anderson of PMG will discuss the future of OTT programmatic buys.

Join Tim Vanderhook, CEO and Co-Founder of Viant, Adelphic’s parent company, as he explores solutions to a future without cookies.

With the enactment of stricter data privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA, and the decision by most web browsers to sunset the use of third-party cookies, we’re seeing a shift away from third-party audience targeting.

With consumer trust in online advertising at a low point, advertisers are coming to terms with some home truths: they neglected to put producers of “big data” – people – at the crux of their approach to harness it. Far too often, advertisers have captured as much as data as they needed to run campaigns without asking whether it was ethically the right thing to be doing. This session looks at what steps advertisers can take to navigate the industry’s ethical minefield responsibly.

Now, there’s a bigger push to more intelligent contextual targeting capabilities. This session will explore how modern contextual advertising builds on the traditional ideals of scale and precision that have long been championed by the online ad industry.
