Despite the fact it feels like we’ve all just started 2022, it’s only days until the end of Q1. That’s another quarter closer to a digital advertising ecosystem without 3rd party cookies. While conversations are all talking about preparation and getting ‘ready’ for a cookieless future, there are two major considerations that just aren’t being […]

It’s no secret that digital models are being turned on their head with the shift to a more privacy-first, cookie-free approach. And, although at first this caused many publishers to worry about how to adapt, the challenge actually represents a major opportunity to become user centric through employing a first-party data strategy. Not only does […]
Publishers of all sizes are under a lot of stress right now. They are expected to be resilient to market upheaval, flexible enough to adapt, and prescient enough to stay ahead of impending market changes. Alongside the looming third-party cookie deprecation and its potential impact on ad revenues, publishers in 2022 are expected to keep […]
