Understand how Google Chrome's new privacy efforts could affect your marketing tactics
Explore alternative methods for pinpointed online audience targeting

With new privacy laws creating issues for cookie-based advertising, this might be a great opportunity for skilled, innovative marketers to explore alternative solutions. Ask yourself questions like, "Are we too reliant on this technology?" or "What happens if and when our strategy gets regulated?" to help you come up with clever alternatives and ads that are non-intrusive and resonate with customers. This could lead to a more successful long-term marketing strategy.
Data management is an area ripe for innovation. By leveraging data, advertisers can now use alternative tools that track data in smarter ways than just the third-party cookie. These solutions will enable them to target relevant audiences without getting too intrusive. Advertisers will need to strategize around these new methods of tracking data, but it is worth exploring the potential for more cost-effective and customer-focused approaches.
