The Trade Desk CEO Jeff Green recently wrote an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecurrent.com\/jeff-green-opinion-privacy-sandbox-google-identity\">essay<\/a> calling the Sandbox \u201cnot innovative,\u201d while others <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AdMonsters\/status\/1751739685565555197\">argue<\/a> that \u201cThe identity problem is not Google\u2019s problem to solve.\u201d This week, the IAB launched a massive new salvo on the matter, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adexchanger.com\/online-advertising\/iab-tech-lab-says-the-chrome-privacy-sandbox-is-a-time-bomb-that-will-break-rtb\/\">saying<\/a> that most digital advertising use cases will be upended by Google\u2019s privacy moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regardless of Google\u2019s moves or those of any other walled garden in the post-cookie world, one thing is certain: the walled gardens have no motivation to support or better ads on the open web. In fact, quite the opposite: Google and Meta are always pushing their broad match and automated products as replacements to advertising alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, the real question is what the future of open web advertising looks like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Privacy Changes Strengthen the Position of Walled Gardens<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Privacy changes need to be understood in relation to the past year\u2019s rapid development of artificial intelligence. Because the death of the third-party cookie doesn\u2019t herald the arrival of a 1:1 replacement that will reinvent open web advertising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It gestures toward further displacement of the open web, where advertising is poised to get less efficient as a result of the cookie\u2019s demise, in favor of Google and Meta, which will use AI to transform themselves into advertising easy buttons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This shift is already happening, as those familiar with digital advertising will recognize. For example, when Meta announced earlier this month that it was retiring \u201cdetailed targeting options\u201d due to privacy concerns, it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/business\/help\/458835214668072\">pointed advertisers<\/a> toward \u201cbroad targeting,\u201d which, in its own words, \u201cessentially means that you\u2019re mostly relying on our delivery system to find the desired audience to show your ad to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meta and Google have been moving in the direction of black-box, done-for-you advertising products for years, illustrated by the growing popularity of Advantage+ and Performance Max campaigns. AI will only further stack the deck in Meta and Google\u2019s favor. And on the surface, advertisers will be enticed, as the giants are offering higher performance with less work on the advertiser\u2019s end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the trade-offs are not so simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Digital Ad Industry Won&rsquo;t Accept a Black Box<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The problem with the AI-driven, black-box future of digital advertising that the walled gardens would own even more completely than they already do is that it\u2019s not in the best interest of the other parties in digital advertising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Independent publishers would suffer. Agencies would lose their role as media planning and buying became completely automated. And brands, especially big brands, would lose transparency into whom they\u2019re targeting and where their ads are running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, the future of advertising can\u2019t be a black box, and though walled gardens will have a huge role to play, advertising won\u2019t take place entirely within their confines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Future of Digital Advertising<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The future of digital advertising will play out across both walled gardens and the open web. And wherever it takes place, it will need to be easy for advertisers, contextual (because purely behavioral targeting will no longer be possible at scale), and granular (because precision will be non-negotiable from every solution in an AI-led industry).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a look at where Google has room for improvement, consider its Topics product. At present, the topics are no more granular than the <a href=\"https:\/\/advertisingweek.com\/google-topics-api-the-fight-for-advanced-cookieless-solutions-in-a-privacy-compliant-market\/\">cookie-cutter IAB taxonomy<\/a>. This is an imprecise approach to post-cookie advertising. It will lead to errors and brand safety issues such as hospitality ads running on articles about the movement of refugees, which are not actually about travel (which brands want to target) but violence (which they most certainly do not).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google and Meta aren\u2019t incentivized to deliver transparent and highly accurate open web ad targeting products. So, as others have argued, the rest of the industry can\u2019t wait on the giants to save us. We need to establish our own understanding of the standards for post-cookie advertising \u2014 both to create our own solutions and hold the tech platforms to those standards. As far as post-cookie digital advertising staples go, efficiency, contextual relevance, and granularity would be a good place to start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Regardless
