Goodbye cookies. Hello 1st Party data.
Understanding the impact on targeting, tracking & measurement
The changes to IOS14 and the loss of third-party cookies will have a massive impact on marketing, advertising, and customer experience. Are you and your organisation ready?
While there’s no single solution to cookie death, marketers need to understand where they rely on cookies currently, what impact these changes will have on their ability to serve personalised ads & content, and what options will be available when it comes to targeting, tracking, and measurement.
If you are currently grappling with similar challenges and want practical ‘how-to’ advice that is relatable for NZ marketers, then join us for our first Brainy Breakfast of 2022.

Before moving to OMD in December 2021, Michael worked as the Senior Marketing Manager Optimisation at Air New Zealand and as part of the leadership group he was heavily involved with their cookieless world internal project. Given his background and practical experience we have invited Michael to help frame the discussion for this Brainy Breakfast.
To set the scene, Michael will provide an overview of what’s being disrupted, the impact on digital marketing and 3rd party advertising, and what marketers must consider.
The past few years have seen an accelerating pace of evolution within the digital ads ecosystem, driven primarily by privacy concerns - and this evolution shows no sign of stopping any time soon. What are Google's plans for a privacy-first future? What can marketers do today to prepare?
Over the last year and a half, The Warehouse Group has been on a journey to deliver a seamless and personalised omnichannel customer journey.
Bonnie Bradley and Kirsten Wright join us to share lessons from the journey and advice for other marketers in the changing martech and adtech landscape.
