TV manufacturers offer a new path to attribution enlightenment. We reported last week that Samsung had launched a product to track ad consumption, measure results, and make incremental buys to meet coverage targets. Vizio just launched something similar.
For one brief, if delusional, moment, marketers thought adtech had made accurate performance measurement a reality. Loss of third-party cookies and device IDs shattered the illusion. The gold-standard alternative has always been controlled experiments to measure incremental results, but that’s been too hard to execute. Measured just raised $21 million to make it easier. On average, they find 40% of media investments are ineffective.
Third-party cookies aren’t entirely dead yet, at least according to TikTok. They just added a requirement for advertisers who use their site conversion pixel to pass them third-party cookie data, improving TikTok’s own targeting and attribution capabilities. It seems pretty retro but maybe TikTok knows something the rest of us do not.
When BlueConic bought experience builder platform Jebbit last July, it positioned the combination as “the industry’s first-ever Operating System for Customer Data”. In case their meaning wasn’t clear, they’ve now directly integrated Jebbit with BlueConic profiles and segmentation, enabling marketers to launch no-code quizzes, surveys and personalized guided journeys without leaving the CDP.
