Experts evaluated the demand for future-forward audience measurement
Amid the growing popularity of ad-free SVOD services among consumers and the continued decrease of linear TV viewing, many advertisers are wondering if their ability to reach large audiences is fading. This is intensified by the transition to a no-cookie environment, where tracking and targeting online audiences is likely to become even more difficult. Lastly, as if this were not enough, Apple is increasing its efforts to prevent tracking and identification via third parties from its own devices.
In an attempt to grasp this pressing issue, GfK hosted the fifth of its annual industry roundtables to gain insights from across the range of the media industry, from broadcasting, digital and media planning to advertisers from sectors such as retail and FMCG.
