Hi, it’s Jamie, the CDP Institute’s Department of the Obvious intern. The boss went overboard celebrating Mothers Day so he asked me to fill in. We’ll start with an IAB report on video viewing, which found that people watch for different reasons during different parts of the day.

Why should marketing automation users have all the fun? Marketing agency Mediagistic has unveiled AdFluence, an event-triggered advertising service that can launch or expand pre-built ad campaigns based on triggers such as local weather or sports events.

Just over one-third of marketers plan to either buy a new CDP (21%) or replace an existing one (13%) this year, according to this Optimove survey.

It does seem that CDPs are a relatively low priority: they rank sixth on the list of new systems and eighth on the list of systems to replace.
