Recommendation

The ever-present cookie is officially going the way of the pop-up ad, and many are saying good riddance – but how should marketers proceed in a world without cookies when cookies were the cornerstone of their targeted marketing campaigns? The Boston Consulting Group surveyed and interviewed IT and marketing experts to explore a future where the ever-present cookie is no longer available for consumption. This report outlines their blueprint for post-cookie success. Spoiler alert: It involves putting together the right technology stack and hiring people with the skills to run it.

Take-Aways

  • The internet marketing landscape is changing due to privacy concerns, but no one knows how to replace the ubiquitous data-gathering power of the cookie.
  • Marketers will need new ways of acquiring data, either by collecting first-party data or through partnerships with other platforms.
  • Invest in building advanced analytics skills and measurement and attribution capabilities.
