London Startups Are Augmenting the Global Advertising Landscape
“London Startups are Augmenting the Global Advertising Landscape” by Glen Dormieux, Co-founder of Playrcart
In the last decade, companies globally have been increasingly relying on fewer technological solutions to advertise their products online, ageing methods mostly centred around the use of cookies, which are extremely reliant on third-party data to push targeted adverts to users based on their browsing habits.
Digital Advertising as We Know Is About to Change
To make matters more complicated for brands and businesses looking to boost their sales online, consumers have long been losing trust in how digital marketers use their data, with millions of users worldwide increasingly aware of misleading one-click designs and popups or actively opting out from having companies track their behaviour online.
And that’s not all, companies relying on behavioural tracking and the retargeting of users with the same product ads multiple times based on their browsing data, are also being met by stricter laws from governments, pushing for more privacy online through reform and legislation, such as the GDPR in Europe, and privacy-centric updates of smartphones and web browsers from the likes of tech companies like Apple and Google.
With all of this information available and the incremental steps were taken toward a cookieless world, it is apparent that a revolution is well on the way for the digital advertising sector, providing an opportunity for Startups across London to be at the centre of this shift.
