Marketing Technology

Nearly 4 in 10 (38%) CMOs globally say content creation and optimization is the area with the most application and integration for generative AI, according to May 2024 data from the CMO Council and Zeta Global.

Hubspot’s recent marketing report reveals key trends in how marketers use AI—and what they’re afraid of.

Retail media networks (RMNs) have a lot of data and a healthy amount of inventory. But selling on-site inventory to advertisers can be complicated. Connecting retail media data with off-site ads on places like social networks and connected TV (CTV) is even more complicated. RMNs can’t do everything related to selling and serving ads on their own, especially if they want to capitalize on off-site placements.

LinkedIn AI campaign tool is ready for market: The social platform will roll out Accelerate to all advertisers in the fall, capitalizing on AI ad demand.

Industry KPIs highlight advertising’s rising cost per acquisition: Some sectors with elevated CPAs enjoy strong conversion rates, but others are saddled with high costs and low return.

Here are three areas retailers should consider integrating generative AI into their strategies.

The digital advertising industry has begun sharing feedback on Google’s Privacy Sandbox as individual stakeholders conclude their tests. While many believe the current Privacy Sandbox needs tweaks before it can function as an alternative to cookies, that’s not surprising, according to Andrew Pascoe, vice president, data science engineering at NextRoll.

Behavioral advertising could be on the federal chopping block: A draft of the American Privacy Rights Act drew criticism from ad groups for proposing harsh restrictions.

Amazon steps into the post-cookie ring: The company announced its own tracking solution at Cannes, seeking to strike at a vulnerable moment for Google.

Collective TV integrates CTV and retail media: Albertsons' new platform offers advanced ad solutions, driving digital video ad growth through shoppable content.

Airlines have a lucrative advertising opportunity: United Airlines is capitalizing on its robust user location data to introduce ads in-flight and in its app.

61% of US adults value loyalty programs that are tailored to their shopping preferences, according to a March 2024 Bizrate Insights survey.

To be effective communicators, marketers must convey data in easy-to-digest ways. Whether they’re advocating for more resources, delivering a performance report, or influencing strategic decisions, marketers should integrate data at every step, presented in a cohesive way. Here are six steps to tell data stories effectively.

Amazon's publisher summit reveals new ad solutions: Measurement and compliance tools should help the retail giant maintain its competitive edge in advertising.

Advertisers and publishers need to prepare the end of cookies—and fast: A Teads survey found that less than a third of publishers have started adjusting to the change.

The (again delayed) deprecation of third-party cookies and Apple’s AppTrackingTransparency initiative have fueled an imperative for brands and retailers to home in on proprietary first-party and zero-party data.

With third-party cookies facing deprecation, advertisers will need to get creative to reach target customers. “To me, the absence of cookies doesn't mean absence of audience targeting,” said Vitaly Pecherskiy, co-founder and CEO of StackAdapt, on the Outlook and Strategies for 2024's Second Half ĢAV summit. “You can have the world's best targeting, reach the right user at the right time [on the] right device, but if the ad is actually not good, it can probably do more bad than good,” he added.

Despite the rise of connected TV, over-the-air programming remains a vital part of the television ecosystem, engaging millions of viewers outside the scope of big data. Learn how comprehensive measurement strategies can ensure that every viewer counts, no matter how they choose to watch.

As cookies crumble, marketers are turning back to the basics of measurement, prioritizing deterministic data over probabilistic guesses. Learn how the focus on direct, consented consumer interactions is paving the way for more accurate and actionable advertising insights.
