Digital marketers today are operating in a rapidly changing landscape. They need to protect consumer data privacy more than in years past while still maintaining campaign performance and demonstrating ROI. It’s a significant challenge. Fortunately, there are strategies for digital advertisers to effectively reach the right audiences while respecting consumer privacy—and brands and agencies are adjusting to do just that.

In partnership with Digiday, Wiland recently collected thoughts about the state of digital media targeting from 80 digital marketing professionals.
