IAB Data Center of Excellence

The IAB Data Center of Excellence is an independently funded and staffed unit within IAB, founded to enhance existing IAB resources and to drive the “data agenda” for the digital media, marketing, and advertising industry. IAB Data’s mission is to define boundaries, reduce friction, and increase value along the data chain, for consumers, marketers, and the ecosystem that supports them.

IAB Data is focused on:

Gathering industry thought leaders to sell the data agenda

Developing relevant standards, service, and best practices
Creating educational materials including certification, videos, and webinars

Key Themes:

Drive accelerated digital marketing transformation through emerging technologies (i.e. AI, Blockchain)
Advance programmatic growth while supporting media buying for emerging formats (i.e. DOOH, podcasts, video)
Lead industry consumer privacy and ethics initiatives (i.e. “consumer bill of rights,” GDPR, CCPA)
Define data transparency, quality and identity to inform measurement and attribution within the supply chain (i.e., data transparency, identity standards, etc.)
