(Sponsored Session) AI Advertising: The Next Era of Digital Health Marketing

The advertising industry is being upended. Driven by consumers’ demand for increased transparency around how their data is used, new policies are now in play that are forcing health businesses to adapt by prioritizing privacy, but without diminishing personalization. Meanwhile, health brands are scrambling to adapt to ever-evolving consumer needs and challenges precipitated by the global pandemic. This convergence of forces has given rise to an identity crisis that will forever change the way we approach advertising.

Join IBM’s Ali Gwin to learn how AI can help us usher in a new way to market that is privacy-first, personalized and scalable across the entire advertising ecosystem.
