Both the scale and scope of COVID-19 are beyond anything we’ve seen in near history. It’s uniting, in that the entire globe was tasked to navigate this challenge together, but more than anything it’s been devastating. It has had a profound effect on the way we do business, interact and live our daily lives - the outcome being that the global economy has taken a bit of a nosedive. Unfortunately for marketers, there is no playbook they can turn to for answers. I was in the industry during 9/11 and the 2009 economic collapse,…

In January 2020, Google announced that its Chrome browser would begin phasing out support for third-party cookies. They were not the first to announce such a move as Apple introduced Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP) 1.0, a privacy feature that came with Safari 11, in September 2017. This new feature blocked third-party cookies by default in Safari and was more of a subtle jab at Google and other AdTech companies than it was a stand on user privacy. Of course, Apple does not depend on advertising solely, so they can…

Hi Ken, from Analyst to becoming a CEO - How did you plan your transition through the Dotcom era to the modern AI era? I really had no plan. Just jumped-in with two feet. Through all of my companies, I’ve focused on two main things: service and creative. By keeping the most important aspects of Advertising simple, we’ve been able to easily adapt as technology has evolved. Service and creativity will never be second to technology. AI, ML, etc really go hand-in-hand with services and creative. Tell us a bit more about your…

How did you plan your transition through the Dotcom era to the modern AI era? I’ve been strangely fortunate in the sense that my career has coincided with many emerging technologies that now come together under the banner of AI. I started as a Software Engineer connecting medical equipment to medical software; that led to working in diagnostics, decision sciences and analysis of that data once it landed in patient management systems. From there, I started building predictive models in SAS and Matlab. I was one of the…

Ever since Google’s bombshell (albeit not entirely unexpected) news in January that it plans to phase out third-party cookies on Chrome by 2022, the AdTech industry has been rife with dramatic speculation. Does the loss of third-party cookies on Chrome change the Marketing landscape? You bet it does. But should advertisers be panicking? Absolutely not. In the long run, reduced reliance on third-party cookies will prove positive for marketers. Here’s why.  Improved Audience Accuracy Google’s curbing of third-party…

Dear Google,    It’s not easy being the market leader.  No matter what you do, you wind up as everybody’s villain du jour. So, in January, when the timetable for phasing out the cookie was announced, you couldn’t have been surprised when your initiative to work with the AdTech community to “maintain an ad-supported web” was widely dismissed as an anti-trust smokescreen.   However, if members of the community put aside their skepticism for a moment, they might see that in the end, we are all on the same page. Really. It…
