Q&A with Vinay Shriyan from Scroll Media on harnessing the power of first party audiences and his data predictions for 2021.
Publishers continue to feel the pressure as they battle GDPR requirements in the EU, and CCPA in the US on top of the unrelenting competition from Facebook, Google, and Amazon and the impending deprecation of third-party cookies.

Eyeota CEO, Kristina Prokop, chats with State of Digital Publishing about her career, her pathway into ad tech, how publishers can generate revenue from their data and her view on the deprecation of third-party cookies.
