2020 is the third annual IAB Brand Disruption Summit, and is themed “Making, Marketing, Surviving, and Thriving In the Post-Covid Economy.” This year’s agenda convenes industry thought leaders to share insights, ideas, best practices and new research that explores the risks and rewards marketer’s face in today’s ecosystem, with emphasis on behaviors, trends and technologies which have accelerated due to the pandemic. Within the Advertising Automation 101 session, Mr. Bharwani will provide attendees with a clear definition of advertising automation, an understanding of how it applies to the consumer journey, and why advertisers must adopt it in order to maintain a competitive advantage.
Following the launch of its groundbreaking new AcuityAds advertising automation platform illumin™ in October 2020, Mr. Bharwani is uniquely poised to equip advertisers with the tools they need to establish omnichannel control over the consumer journey and sequential messaging across the open web, utilizing a wide range of ad formats, devices, and publishers with real-time measurability and insights.
“Advertising Automation is a new category in the programmatic advertising space that will seamlessly bridge advertising planning and execution to deliver breakthrough advertising efficiency, media transparency, and real-time control over the consumer journey,” said Seraj Bharwani, Chief Strategy Officer of AcuityAds.
AcuityAds is working with the IAB to create an Advertising Automation certification program, a four-part series as part of the IAB Brand Academy. The program will enable marketers to leapfrog beyond programmatic advertising and into advertising automation to take control of the consumer journey in an omnichannel ecosystem.
