After our first successful state of the nation on iOS 14.5 in March 2021, there was a groundswell of learning and anticipation about what’s next. We’re now in it, and we’re back to bring industry leaders together to discuss the current state of ad targeting, and what’s to come.
Are we moving towards an aggregated view of the world or will one-to-one advertising still play a role?
This event will address three sub-topics related to ad targeting:
- Apple’s consumer privacy changes: the fallout of Apple’s forced consent requirement for apps, the current state of opt-in rates in Canada and related best practices, the use of event tracking in SKAdNetwork, and Apple’s new Mail Privacy Protection rollout.
- The post-cookie/post-IDFA world: Personalization vs mass targeting, alternatives and solutions for targeting in a privacy-forward world and the potential impact on ad tech product design.
- The future of ad targeting in Canada: How can Canadian marketers navigate the patchwork landscape of conflicting policies around addressability, how will these changes affect CPMs and marketing mix modeling (MMM), and what can marketers do to prepare for future Canadian privacy legislation changes?
