Advertising changed


Privacy has changed the rules.


Technology has changed what’s possible.


And audiences have become harder to understand through the old ways of thinking about targeting.


So perhaps it’s time to ask better questions. - like "Do we really need to know who people are to understand what matters to them?"


We don’t think so.


Understanding patterns


At GDR, we've believed that audience intelligence is about understanding patterns, context and behaviour - not identifying individuals - from day 1.


That means finding the signals that make an audience interesting without needing to know the person behind them.


In this edition, Per shares his perspective on that future and what he sees changing in the industry - and why he believes there is a real opportunity to make targeting both smarter and more privacy-conscious.


More than a newsletter


idfree insider is our way of sharing the ideas, developments and conversations that we find interesting - from audience intelligence and privacy to advertising, technology and the changing relationship between data and people.


No industry bingo. No generic predictions.

Just smart conversations and perspectives worth thinking about.
