Measured, the incrementality measurement specialist, has launched a new platform aimed at circumventing the need to rely on unverifiable reports generated by walled gardens. “Incrementality” refers to the “causal lift in sales driven by a given marketing activity for a given period of time.” Measured’s new platform will support the analysis of incremental ad performance across all paid media platforms.
Consumers shopping on Google will now have options to personalize their own customer journeys. The new tools include the ability to rate styles, the option of specifying favorite brands, generation of images based on natural language prompts and virtual try-on. This must also, presumably, mean consumers voluntarily delivering “zero-party data” to Google.
The E.U. Court of Justice has found that Amazon is obliged under the Digital Services Act to disclose information about its online advertising in a publicly available archive. The court agreed that Amazon might suffer damage but said that interests defended by the E.U. legislature prevail. Amazon had contested that it is a “large online platform” as defined by the Act.
Amperity has launched Lakehouse CDP, which delivers CDP functions within “lakehouse” data stores including Snowflake and Databricks. Amperity tools for data modeling, data quality, identity resolution, generative AI, segmentation, and performance measurement will send all results to a company’s own lakehouse rather than a separate Amperity-managed database. Modules can be used independently but the real benefit here is that Amperity is one of the few “composable” CDP vendors who offer a complete set of pre-integrated CDP functions.
