  The digital media and marketing industry has sat atop the U.S. economy for many years, facing little government regulation and few restrictions on the use of data. But over time, for a variety of reasons, trust began to erode and the gathering storm around online privacy reached a boiling point. By 2016, state, federal and global governing bodies began weighing in on advertising, tracking and privacy practices, in an attempt to address growing consumer concerns around the security and responsible use of their data. Today, the multitude of regulatory proposals bearing down on our industry is creating compliance complexity that will no doubt hinder innovation and the online value exchange. IAB is working with government to protect consumers while enabling innovation through one nationwide, federal privacy standard. In this session, IAB’s EVP, Public Policy shares insights on where we are, how we got here, and how – together as an industry – we can weather the storm.

  Following the presentation, Dave sits down with Walmart’s Nuala O’Connor to discuss what this means through the lens of one of the world’s largest brands.

  A startlingly realistic new breed of AI-powered altered videos is starting to emerge, driven by advances in technology which make it possible to seamlessly alter individuals’ appearances and voices. Open to circulation by propagandists and other shadowy actors via social platforms, these videos have the potential to disrupt, alarm and anger populations. This threat poses new challenges for those in the field of video verification – so what strategies and technologies can we adopt to defend ourselves against this frightening new development?

  Reuters’ disinformation expert Hazel Baker shares insight on media manipulation, from the complex to the very simple, that may be used to distort the truth. Following Hazel’s presentation, a panel of industry thought leaders unpack what this means for the future of marketing, media and journalism.

  Invite Only

  New to ALM this year, brand marketers gather behind a velvet-rope to talk though their biggest opportunities and challenges. Led by two senior practitioners and innovators, this fast-paced and no-holds-barred session will wrestle with issues like:

  • Which new technologies and formats make for a great press release and which have real scale
  • How legacy partners and new friends can (and cannot) work together
  • What brands need to do to make sure they’re compliant with new rules like CCPA
  • Where to find new talent, and
  • What not to miss at ALM!

  Then, IAB’s SVP of Research Susan Hogan will give a sneak preview of the hot-off-the-presses IAB 250—the industry’s definitive list of disruptor brands, what they’re doing differently, and who they aim to disrupt!

  How can marketers be confident that the dollars they are spending on growing their business are making a difference? Enter incrementality: the holy grail of marketing measurement that everyone talks about and platforms try to convince you they bring.

  Without feedback loops on incrementality, how can marketers be confident in their ROI? In this talk, Alex will explore ways to measure incrementality in both simple (coupons, SEM, in-product) and complex cases (awareness media), ultimately educating marketers on how they can measure marketing dollar spend efficacy and why a separation of church and state is necessary in the process.

  Additionally, Alex will walk attendees through how they can design their marketing org setup in a way that will maximize potential outcomes. How can they define the values for their team and partners that will drive them to take risks and truly learn? Should they outsource growth to agencies that have all the expertise in the world, but none of their interests in mind? And if so, how can they maximize the chance of success? Aligned incentives is the second part of the equation that will determine whether their marketing investment will make a difference.

  Keeping up with new technologies and platforms – 5G, Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), Mixed Reality (MR), Computer Vision (CV), Machine Learning (ML), Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be overwhelming, and each of the new capabilities overlaps with and amplifies the others.

  5G is poised to be the game-changer technology enabling blazing fast connections that will allow us to send and receive huge amounts of data to and from our devices. Progress in machine learning and computer vision is unlocking unprecedented opportunities that range from creative uses of real-time video tracking of people and objects to facial recognition in retail, theme parks and airports. Voice interfaces power an increasing number of devices and services today, while with augmented reality we can now design layers of information and entertainment that virtually overlap our real surround view of the world.

  All this high-velocity change leaves practitioners across the digital ecosystem with pressing questions: which new technology platforms are the most relevant to advertising today and why? How can we keep pace with transformational technologies to create meaningful experiences for customers? Get a head start on finding answers in today’s track keynote by Sensing Places CEO Dr. Flavia Sparacino.

  Publisher Data - The New Media Currency?

  Over the past 10 years, the gap between advertisers and publishers has widened and been filled with intermediaries. With third-party cookies now a thing of the past, advertisers are becoming data-poor, and publisher’s first-party data is becoming the dominant currency in the digital ad market. How can publishers use this to build direct relationships with media buyers? In this session, Kristy Schafer will talk to Stephanie Layser from News Corp, Scott Messer from Leaf Group and Chip Schenck from Meredith to explore what the future holds for media trading when data becomes a publisher asset instead of a commodity.

  As we evolve in digital media, a core tenet of marketing in other mediums seems to be making a big comeback: context.

Come join leaders in marketing, publishing, and technology to discuss what is ahead, and set the agenda for 2020.

  Maybe you’re a cord-cutter or a cord-never or maybe you’re between, but one thing is true for everyone, we’re all streaming and sometimes our mobile device is our only device for viewing story-based content on the go. But how is the measurement community accounting for these experiences that toggle between co-viewed and singular? In this session, measurement experts weigh in on how different viewing contexts are measured, planned and transacted and what the future may bring in an increasingly restrictive regulatory era where IFAs (identifiers for advertising) may no longer serve as the connective tissue for people-based measurement.

  The democratization of mobile has given rise to the platform economy, where new platforms are coming into view at an accelerated rate and exploding with consumer adoption! With a more connected world comes an increasingly complex media landscape, yet the core of the consumer-first imperative remains: experiences need to be relevant and seamless to garner attention and drive brand outcomes. Measuring attention meaningfully means going beyond simple verification of valid and viewable, but new formats introduce nuance where we must grapple with what metrics matter most and where? This panel will convene execs from major emergent platforms to engage in a conversation focused on measurement and the approaches both tactical and philosophical to delivering ads consumed as content in these new environments.

  If this year’s ALM Track Sessions go deep, then our Town Halls go wide, asking all precincts to vote on the most thorny, complex and urgent industry issues and help set the IAB agenda for the next 12 months.

  At the same time, our partner Workshops dig deep into key issues from particular points of view.

  The Value of First-Party Data and Delivering a Personalized User Experience in the Age of Privacy

  Global privacy regulations like the GDPR and CCPA are constantly evolving, causing publishers to fundamentally change the way they collect consent while delivering personalized ads. It’s one thing to collect consent, but without a flexible solution to adjust to frameworks and standards, marketing teams are limited in their ability to engage with their audience. How can you give users control over their preferences while delivering personalized ads and demonstrating compliance with global regulations? In this session, you’ll learn the current state of the privacy landscape, how to leverage a consent management platform and the value of declared data capture.

  • Understand the current state of the privacy and regulatory landscape and how this impacts publishers
  • Discover how to leverage a consent management platform to centrally manage consent across standards and frameworks
  • Learn the value of declared data capture and its importance to your organization

  • How should ad-supported media companies evaluate where to make investments?

  The Tradeoffs Between Fragmentation and Scale in OTT: AKA How Many Targeted Eyeballs Does it Take to Fill an OTT Media Plan?!

  As Connected TV penetration grows–now estimated at 77% of all households–the medium becomes a logical option for extending the declining reach of linear TV.  But reallocating budgets doesn’t happen without understanding relative impact. This Town Hall will look to tackle how we can help brands and buyers answer the question “Is my advertising working on OTT?”

  • Why is the “network” different this time around – OTT versus display?
  • Is hyper-targeting an issue in OTT? What’s the sweet spot between efficiency and reaching impression goals (for example with local buys)?
  • What does the industry need to understand between the rise of subscription OTT (Apple+, Disney+, ESPN+) and advertisers’ desire to reach these audiences?
  • In the streaming landscape of platforms, dongles, connected TVs, and apps, what’s the current state interoperability and what’s needed to improve addressability for buyers?
  • How does data and subsequent targeting play a role in OTT?

  Simply choosing a conventional advertising agency from among holding company nameplates and independents is challenging enough for marketers, but over the last decade management consultancies have entered the industry in force with different offerings and capabilities. How do agencies and consultancies serve brands differently, and is it possible to determine which kind of partner serves brands best? Agencies maintain that their focus on media strategy, buying power, and creativity across different clients give them the advantage. On the other hand, Consultancies argue that they reach deeper into the C-Suite for greater strategic alignment and that they don’t carry the legacy structures and high costs of agencies.

  In today’s closing session of ALM 2020, one representative from an agency and one representative from a consultancy face off in front of a panel of American Idol-style brand judges pushing back on arguments and asking tough questions. Don’t miss it!
