On this episode of The Marketing Rapport, host Tim Finnigan sits down with Russ Schultz and Christine Frohlich to discuss Google’s change of course regarding third-party cookies.

Russ, Verisk Marketing Solution’s digital product and media ad tech subject matter expert, shares his take on how Google’s decision impacts marketers and the future of digital advertising. He believes companies that already have robust first-party data strategies will be well-positioned for a cookieless future. Russ also advises listeners to stay vigilant and continue diversifying their ad budgets to include areas of ad tech that are not as cookie-dependent.

Christine, VP of Product and Data Governance, stresses the importance of transparency and disclosure around data collection, regardless of what the future holds for cookies. She believes companies should prioritize building trust with consumers by providing them with control over their data, ultimately creating stronger relationships and better products and services.
