Forrester’s research report defines omnichannel media management, identifies functionality segments that buyers should watch for and gives them a lay of the vendor landscape, providing actionable advice to marketers on how to manage their omnichannel advertising investments.
The author, VP and Principal Analyst Joanna O’Connell concludes her report with a plea to marketers: “Don’t let the walled gardens dictate your advertising approach.” In the report’s final paragraph, O’Connell writes consumers spend more time on the open internet and suggests brands should either push for a “clean room solution” or carefully assess where their consumers actually spend their time -and invest there.
“Our advertising platform is offering a full-funnel solution for the open Internet, where consumers spend half their time, but advertisers still spend only a third of their investments,” said JB Rudelle, Criteo’s CEO.
