The big lieHow ad tech is butchering your

user: time to regain control

Is digital audience really an audience?

How can we

successfully

implement a Single

Customer View?

Imbalance within

the players in the

ecosystem and

different agendas make

it difficult

to fully and

effectively leverage

audience data.

What is the

current status

of the industry?

What goals: Funding? Exit strategy? Real value?

Ad tech

The publisherOften stuck between the past and the future,

unable to move on and hostage of ad tech

In between the advertiser and the

content, the advertiser and the user

The media agency

A resource to protect and support

or a cash cow to exploit until it lasts?

The advertiser

Is that all?

As we should see him

The user

As seen by many in ad tech

The user

Keeping the dangers at bay

Low barriers

to entry

Losing touch

with the user

Conflicting

agendas

Fragmentation

inside and

outside

We are not doing proper gatekeeping, giving away the long term

sustainability of the industry in exchange for short term revenue

What is affecting the value of your

digital audiences?

Siloed

data sources

Lack of

expertise

Legacy

platforms

Teams

working in

isolation:

adv & mktg

Fragmentation from inside your organization

Incomplete

views of the

same user,

depending on

vendor

Data Points

People

Obsession

with reach vs.

depth, quantity

vs. quality

Missing

context =

wrong

assumptions

Ad tech (and media agency) induced data fragmentation

What is affecting the value of your

digital audiences?

“…they do this, because they impose rules to us under which we decide (unconsciously) on what is good or

bad, what is true or false, what is tasteful or nasty, acceptable or unacceptable.”

“…they are a more or less unconscious basis of our living and consumption decisions.”

Dr. Eike Wenzel, Oliver Dziemba; Wie geht es der Welt?; 2008

Converging media channels have challenged the conventional

path to purchase

We need to understand the contribution of each touchpoint (TV/digital/offline) to the

purchase decision if we are to drive new customers to buy.

Be aware of the receptivity issue

Increased number of touchpoints leads to information overload and consumers can opt in and out from hearing from your

brand when they want to.

It is crucial to tell the right message at the right time to your audience.
