“Advertisers want to reach a highly-targeted audience at scale. Effective targeting outside of search requires tracking consumer behavior and carries serious privacy concerns. With mobile devices, consumers feel more violated when bad things happen, and the limitations of such devices further complicate the situation.

The technologies for targeting and tracking of consumers are getting more sophisticated. The advertising value chain across all channels is getting longer and more complex.”

“This industry shouldn’t feel bad about anything. At the end of the day, we have to keep things in perspective. The economy around us is bad and the ad sector is being hit hard. Within that online is still a bright spot. Eyeballs are still moving to online media, and in many sectors, spending is increasing dramatically. And so, yes, is it disappointing, absolutely; is it a catastrophe? Absolutely not. This is just a bump in the road to where we’re going – and that is to a world where advertising is digital and media is accountable, allowing creativity to flourish. “
