Otta's take
Sam Franklin
CEO of Otta
Third party cookies are on the out following Google’s announcement they will no longer be allowed on Chrome. This has dealt a blow to advertisers, who are now looking for alternative ways of targeting potential customers. Quantcast is one of the companies offering a promising alternative, using AI-driven technology to facilitate advertising based on internet traffic.
This will give Quantcast a new and unexpected injection of interest in the years ahead. Moreover, this long run-up has given them time to develop a product with unparalleled data accuracy and a rich raft of features that puts it head-to-head with Google Analytics.
They are also ahead of the pack in adopting a privacy-first approach, including the appointment of new Chief Privacy Officer Min-Jae Lee. With privacy regulations currently disjointed but developing fast, this appointment will help Quantcast stay a leading and trusted organization in the field.
The company has remained focused on the development and launching of new leading AI-driven products. If Quantcast can continue to deliver innovative capabilities, and inspire client confidence with its regulatory compliance, it is well insulated against the sector-wide changes anticipated over the years ahead.
