About The Data Mining Business, Ad-Tracking And Cookie Monsters

The editors at Masters in Information Technology Degrees decided to research the topic of: The data mining business and how you’re free when you die, in some locations.

Infographic: About The Data Mining Business, Ad-Tracking And Cookie Monsters

Being a global strategic “fly guy” at WPP, I met Rubicon, Appnexus, Bluekai, Google and Facebook frequently in the US.

So forgive me for highlighting some the parts of this infographic that I find extremely relevant for our C-level audience.

Compounding Results

If you believe the transformation towards big-data and the shift from mad men to math men, read along.

– Once a company buys consumer potential rankings they return success rates and purchase history to the consumer ranking company, increasing variables per consumer.
– Ad-tracking platforms
– Consumer ranking
– Advertisements for subprime loans, vocational schools, and payday loans
– Or, regular banks, regular colleges, and luxury goods.

My Opinion: Focus at Programmatic Advertising

Based on my extended experience in this space, I do believe that the majority of online ad buying will be programmatic in the near future.

I am convinced that leading players like Rubicon and Appnexus will bring our industry some remarkable news pretty soon.

So stay tuned for updates via our weekly newsletter or sign-up to customize your content in Zite alike ways.

I know that several global players are fighting for strategic partnerships or stakes in these 2 companies. Sorry, I won’t mention any names.

If not acquired in 2013 or 2014, one of the above companies might prepare for an IPO in 2015 or 2016.

The strange thing about the internet is that everybody knows Google and Facebook. Rubicon and Appnexus are not top of mind, but they certainly have their eyez in the prize.

That’s my advice to brands, broadcasters and publishers: Stay on top of the trends and keep looking in non-linear ways. Because there are some hidden empires you should be in the know about.

Or better phrased by former ice hockey rock star Wayne Gretsky: A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be.

Developing a groundbreaking business model? It starts with a clear vision and clever strategy.
