IAB Spain has presented their '2023 Social Media Study', sponsored by Epsilon Technologies and Wuolah, and developed in collaboration with Elogia.
The report analyses the evolution of social media effectiveness, user profiles, advertising saturation levels and brand engagement to name a few. This study has been presented annually since 2009 and has become a reference for our industry.
Here are some of its key findings:
These findings provide valuable insights into the current state of social media usage, user behaviour, and brand engagement, highlighting the continued influence of these platforms in our daily lives.
Preparing for the cookieless future is top of mind for all marketers. But more and more advertisers across the globe are becoming aware of the missed opportunity that cookieless browsers present today. In ID5’s State of Digital Identity 2022 report, it was found that 69% of advertiser respondents want to be able to reach cookieless audiences today, and 87% believe they are missing out on the opportunity of doing so.
In response to increasingly unaddressable environments, universal identifiers (UIDs) have proven themselves as one of the top alternatives to third-party cookies and MAIDs. Universal IDs are alternative identifiers that enable user-level identification across websites and platforms without third-party cookies. They optimise the number of addressable users and enable campaign strategies such as targeting and measurement, benefiting both the buyers and sellers of data-driven digital advertising.
In ID5’s State of Digital Identity 2022 report, first-party universal identifiers took the top spot as the most favoured solution to replace third-party cookies above all other options, with 38% of respondents opting for this alternative.
For advertisers, universal IDs are a valuable asset to consider. These solutions can unlock the ability to increase ROI, reach more users, and deliver campaign objectives across both cookie-based and cookieless environments. Ultimately, they replace the capabilities that cookies have been used for in a privacy-compliant way.
Yet, with over 40 identifiers trying to establish themselves as valid alternatives - understanding the difference between IDs and their effectiveness is key to prioritising what to test and, eventually, adopt.
Learn about the essential criteria for evaluating universal identifiers and the pathways you can take to leverage these solutions via ID5’s new guide: Unlocking the value of cookieless: a brand's guide to leveraging universal IDs.

In order to respond to the changes and needs of the market, while continuing to help players in the online ecosystem comply with certain requirements of the ePrivacy Directive and the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), the Transparency and Consent Framework needs to be updated on a regular basis. In particular, constant evolutions in case law as well as in guidelines of Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) place ever higher demands on market participants in terms of data protection requirements. The TCF instances have therefore drawn inspiration from them to bring some new iterations to the Framework, including some changes related to the Action Plan that was submitted to and validated by the Belgian Data Protection Authority (more information here).
These new iterations will be released as part of the Transparency & Consent Framework v2.2 in the next few weeks, and TCF participants will have until the end of Q3 2023 to make the necessary changes to their respective implementations. All iterations have been developed to avoid breaking changes to the existing v2.1 Technical Specifications and facilitate adoption in a timely manner by CMPs and Vendors.
In the run up to the launch of TCF v2.2, IAB Europe will publish background material and host a series of webinars to offer full support and guidance to CMPs, Vendors and Publishers. Registration links can be found below.

IAB Spain has released their Guide on Data Efficiency, sponsored by GroupM and prepared by one of the working groups of the IAB Spain's Data Commission. As the guide establishes, measuring the effectiveness of the use of data in online marketing campaigns is a key process to determine the success, impact and scope and to determine what works and what does not in advertising strategies. Digital advertising based on data is essential to boost short-term metrics. By collecting and analysing data about user interactions with their websites, advertisements, and other marketing activities, industry professionals can identify patterns and trends that allow them to improve their strategies and increase their return on investment.
