MarTech Quote-of-the-Week!

There are two paths that without proper technology in place will collide and force companies to choose one or the other.  One path is that of increased privacy, which manifests itself through legislation (GDPR, CCPA, etc.) and technology adjustments (third-party cookies, iOS 15, etc.).  The other path is consumer’s increased desire for relevant and personalized experiences.  While it may seem these two things are at odds, they can co-exist, but it requires new technologies that can honor privacy, while providing relevant experiences at the same time.

–Josh Francia, Chief Growth Officer at Blueshift
