Session: To be effective, marketers must align their campaigns with contextually relevant ads
Now, with the impending shift away from cookies, we have an opportunity to focus again on the art and science of digita. Contextual targeting solution has emerged as a strong alternative solution to cookie tracking, allowing advertisers to display relevant ads based on the website’s content rather than using the data about the visitor. The idea is not completely new; before the advent of the Internet, contextual targeting was widely used in magazine and newspaper ads. Remember the full-page or half-page ad of an SUV placed next to an article of cars?
Contextual alignment alongside relevant creative drives stronger recall, favorability and ultimately a positive user experience. The idea that identity and context are now merging presents an opportunity for us to blend art and science and improve the perception and impact of digital.
