It's not personal: targeting & measurement without data

Advertisers are presented with numerous challenges in todays ecosystem with things such as privacy concerns through to the over-exposure to advertising. Whilst these challenges exist today, they are only going to become more pronounced with the emergence of new media channels and an increased number of screens. The presentation will showcase how the combination of contextual and creativity can unlock universal potential for todays ecosystem as well as what the future might look like.

The renaissance of Contextual advertising shouldn’t come as a surprise as the practice worked for the first 450 years of paid advertising and is now super charged by powerful AI and an almost infinite volume of digital impressions. At the same time consumers are requesting more privacy, the technology giants are building privacy into their business strategies and governments are seeking to reign in the unpredicted surveillance that goes on the web with legislation fit for the digital future. With Cookies and creepy tracking practices being removed from the open web we are entering a new paradigm where contextual advertising will fill the gap benefiting the publishers and creators of premium content in a more ethical and transparent way. We can also now look to measure what is important and not what can be measured, shifting to an understanding of what is driving attention and then how attention creates brand memories.

Lumen's attention predictions help advertisers and publishers understand the reality of engagement with advertising. Mike Follett will talk through some recent insights about the impact of format and context on attention to advertising.

The cookieless future isn't all it seems, and far from a headache it actually presents an opportunity to effectively reach valuable audiences, while keeping data integrity. In this session, our speaker will discover what consumers want from advertisers, how to future-proof marketing strategies and how the use of contextual targeting ensures marketers can efficiently reach audiences with mindset marketing.
