Sharethrough's Frank Maguire and Richard Ottoy and OMD UK's Suzy Ryder joined ExchangeWire’s Mat Broughton on the MadTech Podcast to discuss the future of UK advertising in a cookieless landscape and explore some highlights from the Future of UK Advertising Insights & Attitudes Report produced by ExchangeWire Research in association with Sharethrough.
The report covers some interesting trends and differences between how brands, agencies and publishers both differ and agree on topics including cross-site spend, cookieless readiness, supply path optimisation and decreasing the carbon footprint.
Cross-Site Spend
Behavioural targeting and cross-site spending account for nearly 36% of all media spend in the UK. However, there seems to be a disconnect between brands’, agencies’, and publishers’ perception of how much is actually spent. On the heavier side, publishers said about 63% of their media sales uses behavioural targeting and cross-site tracking. Meanwhile, brands said only 14% of their media spend goes towards behavioural targeting and cross-site tracking.
Readiness For The Cookieless Future
Although 63% of large companies rely on third-party cookie based advertising in the UK, publishers and agencies were somewhat confident in their ability to adapt to a cookieless world. However, 45% of marketers are unsure how to navigate this change likely because cookie-based advertising is too ingrained in their practices.
Supply Path Optimisation
Given that agencies are more reliant on programmatic advertising than brands, it is no surprise that agencies give more priority to Supply Path Optimisation (SPO.) Moreso, large and medium-sized companies are more likely to prioritise SPO. But how do they evaluate the performance of SSPs? A majority of marketers said they evaluate SSPs by looking at their historic performance.
Decreasing Carbon Emissions In Ad Tech
Unless already familiar with data servers and what goes into loading webpages, most consumers are unaware that browsing the internet creates carbon emissions. Thankfully, over ⅔ of publishers are more than likely to prioritise ad tech partners that reduce their carbon footprint, along with nearly half of agencies taking this into account within the next year. Sharethrough partnered with Scope 3 to create Green PMPs, enabling advertisers to offset their carbon emissions without impacting the effectiveness of their ad campaigns.
