Quotes from Ben Jeger:
“The reason why it’s being discussed [the first-party data] is we’ve entered a period of focus on user privacy. This period has seen such regulations as GDPR but also platform rules and regulations and enforcements, particularly by Apple.”
“I think that in the app marketing space, the reliance on third-party data isn’t really the key factor. I think when it comes to the use of third-party data from an advertising perspective, I do believe that the efficiency of ad creative is derived from the ability to apply Machine Learning to that data.”
