CES 2025: Measurement Takes Center Stage
By Rory Sale, Fospha

At CES 2025, I joined industry leaders from Amazon Ads, Walmart Connect, TikTok, Pinterest, Snap, and many other leading tech companies to explore the latest innovations and insights. A key theme stood out: measurement has moved to the forefront of advertising discussions, with AI accelerating our ability to address growing privacy concerns.

My Key Takeaways:

• Restoring the Value Exchange: Privacy challenges are reshaping the internet’s core model. AI bridges the gap by enabling performance measurement while safeguarding user data.

• Storytelling That Resonates: Engaging, tailored stories foster stronger connections. Meet your audience where they are for maximum impact.

• Retail Media’s Surge: Amazon’s Retail Connect underscores retail media’s rapid growth. The challenge? Comparing cross-channel performance effectively.

• Privacy & ROI: New tracking limits complicate proving ROI. AI-driven tools offer accurate, privacy-compliant measurement.

• Simplifying Martech: The fragmented digital ad landscape demands clarity. AI streamlines processes with user-friendly, jargon-free solutions. AI-powered tools make it easier to deliver clear, jargon-free solutions.
