Tracks Venues

In this session...

Advertising and trust have always had a challenging and somewhat tortured relationship. Trust hovers over advertising & media and consumers. Click fraud, bots and hacking (ex. The Interview and Ashley Madison) demonstrate the frailty of the internet and the impacts on trust. The Trust Forum tackles “All Things Trust” with refreshing candor.

Far removed from the close-knit relationships of the past, the business of advertising has evolved -- it’s quick, it’s digital and it’s heavily automated. With swift and constant change encompassing the industry, trust -- an essential element of the economy is falling by the wayside.

Publishers and brands must trust the quality of advertising technology, brands must trust their agencies, and vendors must also establish trust with each other, but most importantly consumers must trust advertising. Without trust, the web economy could collapse, or at least fail to live up to its ultimate promise of delivering a relevant and engaging experience.

· As we move into an era of multi-screen and multi-device, what are the best practices to maintain trust?

· Is distrust fueling the rise of consumer action to eliminate advertising? (i.e. ad-blocking, paid subscriptions)

· What are the necessary steps to regain trust across all players in digital advertising? View Less
