Altus Alliance has worked across many industries and verticals but one of the most frequently engaged sectors is Adtech and Mediatech. The media and advertising industry has changed dramatically over the years due to the confluence of digital technology, consumer behavior, and regulations. Innovations such as AI and real-time data is driving new business models and products. In addition, focus on privacy regulations and the pending cookie deprecation is forcing both publishers, marketers, and service providers to rethink how to best identify addressable audiences and market effectively as well as responsibly. These trends all lead to new challenges and opportunities especially for how to grow revenue.
