Two major trends in the CDP industry have been emergence of industry specialists and of CDPs built into operational platforms. Right on cue, ticketing platform TicketIQ has launched FanIQ, which creates unified customer profiles and markets against them. Whether it’s a CDP depends on whether other systems can also access its data. FanIQ also taps into TicketIQ’s 40 million user profiles, matching yet another trend: integration of third party prospect lists.

Connected TV viewing was never measured by third party cookies, but it still needs a tracking solution. TVision measures the attention paid by individual TV viewers, apparently through devices in the homes of volunteers. They’ve just launched a new platform that measures results across all streaming apps. Don’t confuse this TVision (www.tvisioninsights.com) with the TVision internet streaming service just launched by T-Mobile.

Procrastinators of the world can throw a party whenever they get around to it: Google has once more pushed back complete third-party cookie deprecation.  The new target is “early next year.” Reasons for the delay include concerns expressed by U.K. data regulator Information Commissioner’s Office, an ongoing inquiry by the U.K. Competition and Markets Authority, and widespread discontent in the advertising ecosystem.
