Google is beginning to block third-party cookies in Chrome. Apple has removed tracking parameters in ad links. Meta is rolling out ad-free versions of their platforms. It’s a troubling time for businesses and marketers who are trying to leverage paid ads to drive targeted audiences to their websites. When a retargeting ad - an ad specifically targeted to someone who you know has already visited your website - tends to convert at 10X the rate of typical display ads, suddenly losing access to that kind of audience could be devastating to advertisers. Is this the end of retargeting ads? How should businesses go about collecting and leveraging their own data, that first-party data, going forward? That’s what Larry Kim is here to help us with. Larry founded WordStream, a PPC marketing company, which was acquired by USA Today in 2018. He went on to build a new solution that’s all about customer data solutions, Customers.ai. Larry is a guest lecturer at MIT, Harvard, and Boston University and a contributor to CNBC and Inc. Magazine, as well as a frequent speaker at marketing conferences, helping businesses and audiences understand the power and potential of their data.
