| Beeler.Tech hosted two dinners this past week. At each, I floated out a question: Do publishers need data to support our ad tech stack, or must we build a data tech stack that serves ads? I predict that the publishers that navigate the next couple of years will look back and see that their investment in becoming truly data-driven organizations will be what made them successful. It’s because the things they must do require serious data chops: – Pubs must diversify revenue. It’s no longer just about ads. – Pubs must communicate their value proposition better to their audiences. – Pubs must become adept at handling consumer data for compliance. – Pubs must collect better (not more) data from their audiences to create performant targeting segments to support their revenue strategy. – Pubs must become nimble, digital-first companies that can get all departments behind a decision and act quickly.All of these “musts” start with truly understanding data across the organization and not in silos. It’s a necessary evolution that we’ll start focusing on next week at Base Camp… |
