    The rise of contextual advertising
    Changes in privacy legislation and technology platforms are driving marketers to explore new ways to reach consumers effectively beyond third-party data. Contextual advertising offers a powerful solution by targeting users in the moment they are consuming related content.

    Using lookalike and contextual advertising together
    When using lookalike and contextual advertising together, it's important to run them side by side for a meaningful period of time. It's also important to track metrics and experiment with each individually in order to zero in on a mix that works best for your brand.

    Outsourcing media buying vs building in house capabilities
    While both options can be successful, in-housing is recommended because it allows for more control and long-term competence building, despite requiring more effort and cost upfront. Ultimately, the decision depends on the marketer's preferences and resources.

    Evaluating the costs of in housing vs. outsourcing programmatic advertising
    While in-house capabilities offer more control and long-term knowledge building, outsourcing can provide more predictability and reduce the risk of losing resources. The decision to in-house or outsource programmatic advertising should be part of a broader advertising and marketing strategy.
