Customer behaviors and attitudes are always shifting, and the businesses that are best positioned to understand, reach, and market toward those shifts are the ones that will succeed in scaling revenue.

The advertising technology industry has spent most of the past 18 months developing plans and products to fill the white space in targeting that will be exposed when Google finally stops supporting third-party cookies in its Chrome browser.

There’s been a tremendous amount of upheaval in the ad industry recently.
