In today’s dynamic digital environment, we can no longer rely on the tech giants to deliver a high return on advertising investment. As we accelerate our move towards a cookieless era, brands must take ownership for their own data and invest in building their own media walled garden to stay competitive. By using independent Ad-Tech solutions such as iPROM Private DMP, which puts user data at the forefront of the decision-making process and does not share it with competitors, companies can use their data more effectively while gaining direct access to their desired customer segments. This will also improve the long-term performance of their marketing activities and advertising campaigns.

Marketing and advertising are evolving quickly in response to increasingly rapid changes in user behaviour and agile responses by companies that are increasingly aware of the importance of privacy and quick adoption of new technologies. Businesses respond to these trends and the needs of the environment are increasingly employing strategies that put the consumer first and create sustainable value for everyone involved in the marketing process – consumers, brands, publishers and technology partners. In this blog post, I will focus on how critical it is to understand how advertising fits into the entire purchasing journey of the consumer, which has become highly intertwined, multi-channel, and full of opportunity for conversion at every point of contact.

Brands are increasingly looking for ways to take control of their digital advertising and marketing in order to ensure that their ad spend is being used effectively. Building a private walled garden can provide them with the data they need to make informed decisions about how and where to spend their advertising budget. A walled garden can be defined as a closed system or network where user content and activities are restricted to the boundaries of the garden.

Ad targeting has long been plagued by bias, with traditional methods relying on assumptions about demographics and failing to accurately represent the diverse and changing nature of modern consumers. As a result, many brands have struggled to reach and engage their target audience effectively, fuelling frustration and the rise of ad blocking technologies. However, iPROM Private DMP is here to change the rules to this game.

We can leverage data and technology to target consumers more precisely and personalize advertising messages and online campaigns. Digitally mature companies that follow a digital first strategy know how important this is if you wish to compete in today’s highly networked, data-driven and constantly changing world. In this post, I have outlined the main benefits and features of this strategy.

Retailers found themselves in the midst of the busiest shopping season of the year, when they cannot depend on the usual shopping patterns. The online purchase journey is again heavily emphasised and digital advertising is pivotal to effectively reaching the hyperconnected consumer.

Greater control, above-average efficiency and an increased competitive advantage are the leading reasons why brands are increasingly shifting away from global technology platforms to their own media properties, content and data.

During turbulent times, the most successful companies increase their investment in display advertising. A joint iPROM and Valicon study shows that the majority of Slovenian advertisers will maintain or increase their investments in digital advertising in the future.

With the advent of advanced advertising technologies, display advertising has emerged as one of the most effective forms of advertising and gives online advertisers the most bang for their advertising buck.

According to recent research by iPROM and Valicon, display advertising is the most popular form of digital advertising, even among domestic brands. Read this post to learn about its strengths, why it’s prioritized by the leading advertisers and how it’s delivering results.

The pandemic has left its mark on all industries and many businesses worldwide and the automotive industry is among those facing major challenges. The changes impacted the supply chain and production as well as its ability to meet customer demand. To date, the industry has already adjusted to the new situation somewhat, but for its long-term recovery it will be even more important to take into account the changing consumer purchasing patterns and habits, as well as the changing media/advertising landscape.
