@will_luttrell @Symitri_Inc Fantastic to have you on the team, @will_luttrell. LFG!

Very excited to be invested in @Symitri_Inc, @davidmkohl's innovative post-cookie privacy solution. Check'em out! digiday.com/media/digital-…

@aripap @TrustXads @Symitri @Akamai Think privacy firewall with unmatched speed and scale. We're leveraging Akamai's world class security and cloud infrastructure to make our cleanroom function in real-time without every moving data to the middle.

The publisher SSP @TrustXads is now a new company @Symitri, with the contribution of PET from @Akamai plus $5 million. I'm an investor and I barely know what all this means, LOL. But it is exciting. symitri.com/symitri-inc-ra…

I and my fellow Jews are horrified by the uninformed that find some morality in standing by Hamas terrorists. For all of them — and everyone — this must be seen.

@rochemathieu Wonderful. This must feel awesome.

Personal news: after 12 years living in the country, I am proud to become a British citizen today! 🇬🇧 However, I will still support France at the rugby world cup 🤣

A good summation from @seb_joseph. What we're hearing from our clients at @TrustXAds is that (1) it's Google, and (2) what about Safari / Apple? @Digiday digiday.com/marketing/the-…

I can hear app developers whining again how Apple is throwing its weight around in the name of privacy. Too many complainers fail to see that Apple's privacy-centric approach is working for them because privacy is actually what people want. @TechCrunch techcrunch.com/2023/07/28/app…

@aripap @JeromySonne @vinnysgreen @AdtechGod @FreeWheel @Roku @magnite @aristein @craignewmark @TrustXads Almost all the majors. DV360, TTD, Yahoo, etc.

@aripap @JeromySonne @vinnysgreen @AdtechGod @FreeWheel @Roku @magnite @aristein @craignewmark Appreciate everyone describing @TrustXads. The model works. We create value with 100% viewable, fraud-free, brand safe, premium inventory. Brands and pubs see incremtality. I’d agree with @aripap that if we were an exclusive channel for our pubs, the model would work even better.

Interoperability. Might be a term we no longer need to discuss in the near future. With recent integration announcements from @FreeWheel , @Roku . and @magnite it appears the VALUE of seamlessly working together is key for growth in our space. Working together…. Works. Who is next?

#Google is enabling Privacy Sandbox APIs in Chrome. A move that further locks us into the Google ecosystem in the name of privacy. Worth it? techcrunch.com/2023/07/20/goo…

A clever OOH campaign with messaging that should hit home for everyone. @adage

Do you know where your Pixels are? @Richymediaguy has a few suggestions to clean up your act. adexchanger.com/data-driven-th…

This has got to be an evil joke. Not only did online tax prep services share "millions" of users' sensitive data with @Google and @Meta, but Meta confirmed they used the data for targeting and to train AI algos. F-ing crazy! mediapost.com/publications/a…

I wanted to share this resource with the rest of my followers from my friend @Richymediaguy. He compares the proliferation of #PrivacyRegulation to Moore’s Law and urges diligence across your vendors who handle personal data you collect. ana.net/miccontent/sho…

We created @TRUSTX seven years ago so that advertisers would have an EZ button at scale for 100% premium inventory. 30 publishers, 5,000 domains, 300 million unique users every month. There should be no excuse for buying MFA! #Advertising #MFA #LowQualityMedia

Déjà vu all over again. "The opaque nature of programmatic advertising has inadvertently turned major brands into unwitting supporters, unaware that their ad dollars indirectly fund these unreliable AI-generated sites." @jbruce218 @NewsGuardRating technologyreview.com/2023/06/26/107…

I'm with the Europeans on this one. Distributed identity in the bidstream sustains the status quo. Publishers and advertisers who have invested heavily to earn trusted consumer data relationships need a new approach. #nodataleakage @Digiday digiday.com/media/u-s-publ…

300% better mid-funnel metrics, 67 percent higher brand lift and 74 percent more "likeability" for ads seen on high-quality sites are all part of why trusted, professional news should be part of every media buyers portfolio. @adage @LouPas adage.com/article/opinio…

The Nielsen brand is synonymous with words like "old school" and "legacy." I'm intrigued by Nielsen launching a cleanroom for data analytics but wonder whether this is a little too little too late. Curious what others think.

This outstanding piece here in @Digiday from @seb_joseph & Ronan Shields needs to be applauded. Their analysis on #Programmatic transparency and the b*** s*** waste of money that could be stopped with really the bare minimum of oversight is SPOT ON. digiday.com/marketing/tran…

We're all used to seeing calls for platform #DataTransparency for commercial reasons, such as ad targeting and media measurement. This report from @FastCompany highlights the predicament of academic researchers. Worth a read and our collective support.
