Webinar Recording - IAB Europe Industry Insider with Adform - Are the New Identity Solutions Working? Let's Talk Numbers

On 15th April, IAB Europe hosted an Industry Insider with Adform.

The webinar was hosted live and you can watch the recording here. 

Synopsis: There has been a lot of talk and guesswork in the industry on new identity solutions. In this session, we moved the focus onto numbers and tangible results. We asked: what are the most prominent IDs? What is the current adoption rate? What impact do they create?

Jakob Bak, one of Adform’s co-founders and an industry expert on identity, shared answers to these questions based on what Adform sees across borders, publishers, and advertisers. He was joined by guests from the buy-side and publisher side, Thomas Lue Lytzen, Head of Adtech at the largest Danish publishing group, JP/Politiken and Peter Loell, Director from OMD. They  looked at case-specific numbers based on their move from third-party cookies to first-party IDs.
