💾 What would ARPA mean for digital advertising?

Get Caught Up Quick On The American Privacy Rights Act

It’s a shame Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) and Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) didn’t release their proposal for a comprehensive federal privacy law three days earlier than they did.

If they had, it would’ve made a SeaWorld front row soak zone-style splash at the largest annual gathering of privacy professionals in the world.

But, as it happened, the IAPP’s Global Privacy Summit in Washington, DC, wrapped on a Thursday (April 4), and the draft dropped on Sunday.

Not that the proposed American Privacy Rights Act (APRA) didn’t make a helluva splash anyway. It’s the first serious attempt at a compromise to pass national privacy legislation since the American Data Privacy and Protection Act (ADPPA) failed to advance last year.

Still, it’s a little premature to buy party hats and noisemakers. The odds of the ARPA passing aren’t great during an election year. But it’s worth getting clued in on what’s in the draft and what it could mean for digital advertising.

📊 As lead gen grows on social media, marketers discuss what’s working

It’s one of the oldest debates in lead generation: quantity vs. quality. Marketers who are judged by the number of leads they generate will push for quantity. But big-ticket purchases in B2C and B2B will help marketers see ROI with a small number of wins, which pushes some marketers toward quality. 

Even with new channels and new tactics entering the fray on a regular basis, the debate around how to do lead gen rages on, including on social media channels.

💸 The Changing Face Of Media: As Ad Spend Rises, Budgets Switch To Commerce

This is an exciting time for marketers – growing budgets and a growing array of channels in which to target consumers. In the pre-digital era, it was often “spray and pray” – create and distribute large, mass media campaigns, and hope for the best.

Television advertising was once the king of the jungle. Well now, the media mouse that has roared is retail media, and it should be part of every marketer’s consideration set.

💲How MetaBanners are Transforming Digital Advertising

Love it or hate it, advertising can boost life satisfaction

The debate over advertising's positive or negative impact on society and citizens is decades old, and it can be summarized into two views. 

"One is the persuasive view, which would suggest that advertising can shift consumer consumption norms. Advertising can increase materialism because it creates a deficit in consumers' lives and then showcases a product or service that can solve that deficit."

U.S. humorist Will Rogers wryly summarized this view when he said, "Advertising is the art of convincing people to spend money they don't have on something they don't need."

The other view "believes that advertising provides valuable information to consumers about different consumption options. It's an effective information dissemination mechanism that individuals rely on to gain knowledge about products and services available to them."

So, how do these two views relate to life satisfaction?
