Eye on the Industry

For the past decade, marketers have been fixated on delivering one-to-one marketing solutions which heavily rely on cookies and personal identifiers to retarget. This model has been built on the back of massive data sets of personal information flowing through the ecosystem, allowing marketers to track people across their entire online life. However, now the industry is facing an impending data drought over the coming years that will change the rules of the game.

Eyeota CEO and Co-founder, Kristina Prokop recently joined ExchangeWire’s Rachel Smith and Ciaran O’Kane to discuss the latest news in ad tech and Martech on the MarTech Podcast.

Kristina Prokop, CEO and Co-founder of Eyeota, explains how the concept of cohorts is not a novelty in the marketing industry and why cohorts are the logical go-to strategy for advertisers in a privacy-first world.
