It’s only getting harder to stand out in the digital marketplace. So cash-back reward company Ibotta is turning to in-person activations to better capture shopper attention. Between Google’s phase-out of the third-party cookie and the saturation of advertisers in the digital landscape, performance marketers are grappling with changes in the space.

Based in Bucharest, Romania, PGL has operated esports tournaments since 2002, largely within the “...

Amid all of the concerns that the made-for-arbitrage (née made-for-advertising) crackdown would unfairly impact premium publishers, Forbes has been called out by a report by advertising transparency vendor Adalytics for intentionally operating an MFA subdomain for years, unbeknownst to the buy-side until this month.   Four agency executives told Digiday that it’s still too early into...
What happens when artificial intelligence analyzes human thoughts about AI and copyright? As tech giants and startups alike move forward with AI models, the legal landscape is still full of uncertainty when it comes to current and future rules about AI and copyright. Earlier this week, U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff introduced a new bill that would require AI companies to disclose AI training content...
Travis Clinger, Chief Connectivity and Ecosystem Officer, LiveRamp Clean room technology is an increasingly important tool for marketers to turn signal loss into signal gain, with the final steps of third-party cookie deprecation serving as a critical checkpoint.  However, as the need for data collaboration increases and approaches to collaborating proliferate, it’s essential to remember...
