Description
In my work both at Google and now at Reach Plc, I have been exploring the role of context in digital advertising. Increasing levels of Data have enabled the advertising industry to increasingly accurately target and personalize ads. The ubiquitous nature of cookies means that ads have been able to increasingly understand and react to a user's history for example through re-targeting.
This increasing accuracy of targeting has driven significant growth in the power of digital advertising, ensuring that ads are more relevant to readers. Public awareness of the use of personal data for advertising and lapses in data security is growing and has led to Increasing legislation.
Many new publishers are building their own followings and brands through proprietary platforms rather than big media houses. These publishers are both creators and curators and they view the clash of personalized ads and content negatively.
Past models had no choice but to tie ads closely to content, using this as a proxy to personalization, at reach we have been exploring the role of context in digital advertising. I will share some of the insights we have gained and discuss the potential impact of these findings.
