In the first of our two-part series on the state of the industry, Adform’s COO, Oliver Whitten, discusses the issue of transparency in digital advertising with PwC’s Sam Tomlinson.
Sam and his team were behind last year’s influential ISBA report which placed a spotlight on the programmatic supply chain, revealing the proportion of ad spend that remains hidden and unattributable. In this 15-minute webinar recording, Sam and Oliver look at the different initiatives that the industry, and individual companies, are participating in to improve transparency through better data access and data quality.
Oliver Whitten brings more than a decade of experience in the digital advertising industry.
