The Comprehensive List of Leading Post-Cookie Identity Solutions

As “the cookieless future” approaches, alternative targeting and attribution technology not tied to cookies will be critical.

Bidtellect is a performance-driven DSP well-versed in audience-based targeting. Based on our in-depth integrations with multiple SSPs and technology providers, we’ve created a starter list of the industry’s top identity alternative solutions.

We based our assessment on a number of factors: company size and reputation, expertise, the technology behind the identity solution, scope of adoption, and ease of integration. This is not a complete list, and market reputation and technology continue to evolve. 

A Multi-Adoption Approach

Based on the number of alternative ID solutions already entered into the space, widespread adoption of a single alternative will be unlikely. The future will likely be an amalgamation of multiple identities. The most effective DSPs will adopt multiple identifiers to achieve the reach required for an effective, scalable campaign solution. One step further, DSPs may need to create maps or graphs similar to these ID providers in order to keep track of the multiple identities required.

How the Grinch Stole the Cookies

At first, we hated the Grinch for stealing cookies from browsers, but these cookies are like a box of cookies next to the check-out aisle at a grocery store. They look good, and they satisfy your craving for a minute, but after you eat the whole box… you’re left wanting a lot more. You want real ingredients and a real answer to your sweet tooth craving (in this case, performance? or engagement?).

So turn to real bakers (that’s us in this extended metaphor). The Grinch may have stolen those store-bought cookies, but we’ll make you some homemade baked goods that we’ve tested and optimized to taste the very best for each person that eats it. We’ve been doing it the longest.

Engagement Tastes Better With Context

Bidtellect Knows Context: Performance For Native & Beyond

  • Bidtellect began as a native specialist demand-side platform.
  • With native ads, we needed to evaluate the contextual information on the page to create an ad that blended seamlessly into its environment.
  • Based on results, Bidtellect began maximizing context-first technology for its performance abilities. Bidtellect has gone on to build the most sophisticated contextual solutions of any DSP while extending these successes to other channels and formats beyond native.

Proprietary Audiences

Utilize Bidtellect’s proprietary audiences, which use natural language processing technology and the context of the page to build custom audiences that show an explicit interest in the category of your choosing.

Targeting & Optimization

Reach consumers already engaging with July 4th, travel, at home barbeques, or any topic of your choosing with context-driven targeting and optimization.

LET’S DECORATE: RETAIL + CPG PURCHASE TRENDS ARE BIG

Last year, an increased number of people bought patriotic items: apparel, decorations, or other red, white and blue merchandise. Some experts predict a continuing “decorating frenzy” that began during the pandemic. As holiday celebrations were forced to downsize, retailers saw consumers increasing the number of decorations they were buying to channel their enthusiasm into public displays from their homes. Weekend promotions and preparations for hosting also encouraged consumers to pay extra on consumer packaged goods (CPGs) and household products.

What This Means:

THE IMPORTANCE OF

[B]+STUDIO

& DYNAMIC CREATIVES

Last year, a heat wave over July 4th altered consumer plans and ultimately ad performance. Pattern89 uses AI to analyze a global database to track the ad trends and changes:
Images of fireworks were down more than 17% in ad copy
The word “cookout” decreased 89%
Click-through-rate declined 21% for ads with “cookout” in the copy
Imagery of the sun decreased 10% The word “Hot” went up 43% in ad headlines
Images of grills declined over 97% in ads Images of pools increased 18%

Creative assets matter. Turn to creative experts [b]+studio for assets that appeal to consumers, capture trends, and catch attention – and ultimately increase performance and engagement.

GET READY FOR

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND

WITH BIDTELLECT

MDW is fast approaching. The kickoff to summer is filled with travel, friends and family gatherings, and plenty of opportunities for advertisers to reach consumers with hosting, food, and lifestyle inspiration to boost sales.

Weekend Travel? Yes

This year, renewed confidence in travel combined with eagerness to see family and friends mean MDW is likely to be a big travel weekend to domestic and local locations. Huge numbers travel on the weekend itself, and more than half of Americans are planning a trip this Spring/Summer. Family and friends are the main reason for travel.

37.1 Million

 Last year, 37.1 million people traveled at least 50 miles from their homes on MDW (eMarketer, 2021).

56%

56% of Americans are planning a trip this spring/summer. (Vacasa, February 2022)

45%

Family and friend events were the activities most likely to encourage a trip in 2022 (45% and 32%, respectively). (Vacasa, February 2022)

75%

This year the likelihood of spring travel is even higher for hybrid workers (86%) and millennials (75%). (Vacasa, February 2022)

Domestic Travel & Staycations

Spring/Summer

23% of American travelers are springing for a staycation this spring/summer (Vacasa, February 2022)
Work with Bidtellect’s [b]+studio to create messaging around trip inspiration, especially domestic travel and local outing ideas.
Domestic tourist brands, states, and cities should use this time to increase meaningful spend and scale to reach consumers seeking travel inspiration or deciding whether to travel or not.
Cater messaging towards hybrid workers: easy destinations to work remotely, high-speed WIFI, etc.

What This Means

Lean on video and high-impact creative units for their eye-catching quality and guaranteed boost in engagement.
Offer promotions like booking discounts and longer trip deals. Ads with promotions are consistently top performing, according to [b]+studio.
Utilize Bidtellect’s context demographics targeting capability, which leverages general domain analytics to target websites with preferred gender and age demographics; in this case: millennials who are most likely to travel.

Celebrating at Home:
CPG, QSR & Lifestyle Brands

Consumer packaged goods (CPG), Quick Service Restaurants (QSR), and other food and lifestyle brands can expect an increase in spend in preparation for Memorial Day Weekend, even if party sizes are still a bit smaller. Make the most out of your creative assets with promotions, targeting and optimization, and by leaning on [b]+studio.
