The nature of data accessibility is changing. While the machine-learning driven algorithms have never been more powerful, we're losing access to the very data these algorithms need to adapt and optimize media performance. With various legislation being passed both globally, and at the state level, as well as the ongoing browser privacy wars, the future of our data has never been more uncertain.

Simon Poulton, VP, Digital Intelligence at Wpromote, joined us live on November 18th, 2020 to walk us through:

• Why & how we should embrace a privacy-first future.
• How recent changes have impacted attribution & media targeting today.
• A vision for the future and understanding where the Browser wars will take us.

An Enterprise eCommerce website is an online store that sells products. The company that runs the website is often a bigger brand name with major brand loyalty, like Nike or Coca-Cola.

Some people think a large number of webpages, usually a thousand or more, means an eCommerce website is at an Enterprise level. However, this form of classification negates the brand recognition and authority that Enterprise websites usually have.

So what’s the best way to tackle these kinds of optimization efforts? Through small, incremental changes. Laurel Teuscher from Stryde, shared three steps to do this.

In our ever-evolving digital world, consumers are inundated with tons of advertisements. How do you stand out from the crowd, especially when you have just a mere three seconds or less to attract and engage?
