In a decade marked by digital disruption, few sectors have been as completely transformed as advertising. Data lies at the heart of this transformation. Of course, data has always been important to advertising; providing the audience insights needed to drive good creative and ensure appropriate targeting and measurement. But today’s use of data is something else. Thanks to the availability of big data, martech automation and the proliferation of digital channels, advertisers can target people with personalized messages at just the right moment. Meanwhile, programmatic ensures these impressions reach the right audiences at the best price and in the most efficient manner. This is yet another great example of digital transformation with a data angle.
