Interesting to see how long this focus remains - although interesting to see future remedies

New year. New opportunities. Hopefully new and improved discourse and a focus on solving together - professionally, politically and privately

Another big week of ad tech to come - what mergers will we see ? and what are the outcomes in the google trial

Great to see IAB tech lab produce it's guide to ID-Less Solutions Guidance - I'm a big believer in our need to move beyond individuals as an industry - and focus on cohorts/uplift
