digiday mobile with tapad: the new imperative: connecting with consumers cross-platform
DESCRIPTION
Today, people employ multiple devices simultaneously, switching screens an average of 27 times an hour. It's time for marketers to meet them there -- on every screen -- with targeted, compelling messaging. But before now, reliably matching multiple devices used by the same customer was an impossibility. By cracking this code, Tapad is unifying advertisers' targeting and attribution across all screens. Are Traasdahl will describe how they do it ,and he will share the exceptional results Tapad's cross-platform campaigns are bringing in for the biggest advertisers in finance, telecom, retail, auto and travel. Presenter: Are Traasdahl, founder & CEO, Tapad @tapadTRANSCRIPT

smartphones) 27 times per hour, about every
other minute!”

However, multi-screen usage creates a real problem for marketers:
NO CROSS-PLATFORM IDENTIFIER (“COOKIE”)
=
YOU APPEAR TO BE MULTIPLE PEOPLE TO TRADITIONAL ADVERTISING & INTERNET
TECHNOLOGY
Result: As an advertiser, you travel 15 years back in time….
No cross-platform re-targeting, no message sequencing, no content optimization and not even frequency
capping across screens
