I’ve already admitted my infatuation with retailer-owned media networks (and will sneak in that Adorama has a new program for onsite ad placements). But why should retailers have all the fun? Video creation platform Brightcove has launched CorpTV, which lets any brand bypass traditional media by creating its own streaming video channel. Recently-launched Salesforce+ is an example.

We almost never mention speeches by politicians or regulators, for the excellent reason that what they do so often differs from what they say. But I’ll still call out this speech by FTC Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, because she states clearly that consent-based privacy rules have failed and what’s needed are legal limits on how much data companies can collect. I agree, and so do a growing number of people in Washington.  Fundamental change in the advertising industry could result.

Bombora has launched Visitor Insights, a consent-based website tag that tracks the topics a device has consumed.   It infers intent, job function, management level, and other information that B2B publishers can use for ad targeting and personalization.  This Bombora report shows intent trends by industry: for example, media and advertising users show 70% more interest in Customer Data Platforms than they did last year.
