Marketers often offer a personalized experience as a reason for consumers to share their data. But the Advertising Research Foundation found that consumers are more likely to share when it isn’t mentioned. The difference was slight but it’s still more proof that people just don’t want to be reminded how their data is used. Lots more here.
TapClicks automates data flows for marketers and media companies, simplifying order entry, workflow, and analytics. It’s not a CDP but does address some related needs. They just raised $10 million, bringing total funding to $29 million.
Amobee, another adtech firm, has built its own cross-device graph by mapping devices and cookies to households. These can then be targeted through connected TVs and other devices. It has just added more than 60,000 audience segments based on data from more than sixty providers. Marketers can also build segments using their own data.
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.
