This week’s FWD covers CES 2023 and one of the major themes from this year’s event; the use of data clean rooms in marketing analytics. During an insight-packed panel at CES moderated by OMD, panelists from The Clorox Company, Wells Fargo, and InfoSum, discussed clean room technologies right now and predictions for the future. They also highlighted how to futureproof marketing analytics for businesses and changes to attention metrics.
Sébastien Hernoux, OMD USA’s Chief Data & Technology Officer, said that “there are many nuances when you think about adopting clean rooms; it’s an entirely different skill set needed to get the most out of the investment. You also don’t want to chase another shiny object without the proper data strategy, analytics, and tech-forward talent in place.”
Brian Lesser, CEO of InfoSum, explained that clean room technology gives control back to publishers and advertisers whilst respecting consumer privacy from planning, activation, and measurement. Both Clorox and Wells Fargo said they were partnering with companies like OMD and InfoSum to adopt clean room technologies.
