Future-proof your digital advertising strategy

It’s the buzzword of the year in the digital advertising industry: cookieless.

Cookie alternative solutions and strategies are rapidly gaining traction, as the steady removal of third-party cookies from Google Chrome continues. Agencies, brands, and vendors alike are pivoting their digital advertising approaches in order to remain safeguarded from cookie deprecation. But which strategic shifts are the most essential to adapt to a cookieless future?

Proven cookieless success for 14+ years

While many ad tech providers are still researching and testing new cookieless solutions, AdDaptive’s accurate targeting and reporting technology has proven cookieless success for agencies and brands since 2010. 

Rather than relying on often inaccurate business and consumer data gathered through third-party cookie placement, AdDaptive has always leveraged validated offline data. This real-world information is comprised of firmographic and demographic data in the form of SEC filings, business registrations, census data, and much more. Since the information is verified at the source when submitted, the accuracy of the data is ensured.

AdDaptive’s proprietary technology maps this validated offline data to unique digital identifiers for accurate targeting, regardless of how niche your intended audience is. With over 14 years of cookieless experience, advertisers can trust in AdDaptive to deliver effective results and actionable reports to help maximize ROAS.

Combat Digital Ad Fraud with Validated Data and Targeting Techniques

Combat Digital Ad Fraud with Validated Data and Targeting Techniques

January 30, 2024 |

Digital advertising is ever-expanding, on both a domestic and a global scale. Ad spend continues to increase year-over-year, and forecasts predict further growth with seemingly no end in sight. 2023’s ad spend exceeded $600 billion worldwide, and is expected to reach $870 billion by 2027 with a steady annual growth rate between 8% and 11%.

With all of the money being poured into digital ad campaigns, the looming question is: How much of this ad spend is actually effective? If ad creatives aren’t reaching their respective intended audiences, the spend can be considered wasted. Impressions, clicks, and other figures can be inaccurate, either being intentionally falsified, inflated, or being served to online bots.

According to the Video Advertising Bureau (VAB), in 2023 approximately $35 billion in ad spend was lost to fraud, in North America alone. Globally, that figure reached over $84 billion. As the number of online bots continues to increase year over year, over 40% of all online traffic has now become invalid. So how can advertisers ensure that they are actually reaching their intended audience for each campaign, simultaneously avoiding bots and potential legal ramifications? 

The key to avoiding bots is partnering with a trusted ad tech vendor who connects validated offline data to online identifiers rather than relying on cookies, since the vast majority of bot fraud can be tied to cookie usage. While some vendors purposefully manipulate campaign metrics by overcounting users, spoofing domains, stuffing cookies, ad stacking, or otherwise falsifying data, those who use validated business and consumer data from offline sources such as SEC filings, building permits, and census data provide accurate, reliable campaign reports and insights that reflect how the intended audience was targeted and the results of the targeting.

AdDaptive’s up-to-date offline data mapped to digital identifiers is a solution much less susceptible to fraud than cookie pools. Our technology is incredibly accurate in terms of attribution when compared to third-party cookies, which offer an audience match rate somewhere between 40% and 60%. The data pool and targeting techniques that AdDaptive uses, on the other hand, are over 97% verified at the source so you can be sure real people are seeing your ads, not bots.

The Power of a Foundational Ad Tech Partnership

The Power of a Foundational Ad Tech Partnership

June 01, 2023 |

Brands have unique needs and goals when it comes to advertising especially when “cautious optimism” is influencing their ad spend decisions. Balancing their needs and keeping them confident in your agency is both rewarding… and tiring. Multiply the energy spent on one specific brand relationship by the full portfolio of brands you represent and you’re at risk of burnout. You have the skills and the talent to give these brands the experience they deserve, but a little bit of support could go a long way.

What you need is a strong foundation. You can’t always see the foundation of a building, but without one, a gust of wind could put the entire structural integrity in jeopardy. This concept should be kept in mind when choosing an ad tech partner. Your tech stack might go unseen by your clients, but these partnerships should help stabilize all of your competing priorities and make your relationships with stakeholders easier.

AdDaptive has the pleasure of being the foundation for countless agencies through our precise targeting, scalability, and insightful reporting. This partnership opens the door to leveraging AdDaptive’s success to boost your own efforts. For example, each quarter on average AdDaptive runs between 4,000-5,000 campaigns serving 600-700 million impressions. Our technology analyzes over 50 billion data points every day to fuel the best optimizations for each of your unique campaign needs. Having a baseline like this allows you to confidently move forward with your own daily tasks knowing that your clients will be getting the most out of their ad spend. 

Clients rely on your agency to help them reach their desired audience. AdDaptive is happy to provide you with our precise, cookieless targeting capabilities to ensure campaign engagement from high-quality accounts. Our technology allows you to define a specific audience set and deliver your hand-selected message and creative to the right recipients. While the average ad tech partner has match rates around 50%, our targeting capabilities have match rates that hover around 75-80%, effectively helping to reach your desired audience. Then, as the campaign runs its course, AdDaptive provides updates and performs optimizations to keep you in the know and to further your reach. When the campaign finishes, AdDaptive shares insightful analytics along with the context behind the numbers to pave the way for stronger campaigns in the future. 

AdDaptive has your back behind the scenes for each campaign. A strong ad tech partnership foundation is meant to lift up the work you’re already doing while offering support where bandwidth cracks start to show.
