Description
Description
“Ad personalisation through user input is key to boosting engagement; particularly as many consumers are showing interest in ad-blocking. But there isn’t necessarily a one-size-fits-all solution to balance personalisation and intrusiveness, as individual users have different attitudes towards their personal information and the extent to which they are happy to share it in exchange for a free service or other benefit.”
– Sara Ballaben, Senior Technology Analyst
This report examines the following issues:
- There is no one-size-fits-all strategy for ad personalisation
- Addressing the growth of ad-blocking beyond ad personalisation
- The upcoming gate-keepers of mobile advertising
