“Even automotive manufacturers, striving for that holy grail of a fully autonomous vehicles, will be experimenting with AI.

“And given all that inference is happening in the browser (to negate the need to track users centrally), the effectiveness of those contextual algorithms and in particular how they deploy natural language processing (NLP) to infer preferences and interests will be a critical success factor for relevance.”

But marketers are well aware that this is a temporary reprieve. There’s no doubt that the industry will have to do without third-party tracking cookies, and the sooner they are prepared to adapt to this reality, the better. So, what do our experts think will emerge to take their place in 2022?

“2022 will be the year of marketing at scale and the rise of CDPs. While the pandemic has undeniably been a challenging time for businesses, it has also been incredibly enlightening. As technology helped customers access the goods and services they needed, and vice versa, supported companies in providing them, it highlighted how essential digital transformation is to drive recovery and growth.
“Today, consumers want the internet experience to be tailored to their interests and previous online behaviours, but they don’t want to feel followed or frustrated by retargeting activity. So, with that in mind, in 2022 we predict there will be further adoption of addressable, people-based targeting solutions that will achieve this by enabling frequency capping across devices and channels. Further, people-based buys are tied to a value exchange that helps build continued trust with consumers.

“We expect to see the consumer remain the center of attention for targeting strategies. In a cookie-less world, first-party data will be key to success. Brands must find way of understanding the needs and motivations of their target audience, and many brands have already refined their D2C approach in 2021.”
