IAB UK Guide to Digital Innovation 2020

IAB UK’s mission is to build a sustainable future for digital advertising and helping businesses prepare for the future is part of that. 

In digital, the future often arrives very quickly, so the IAB has collaborated with 36 members across our industry groups to develop this guide.

This guide spans six chapters looking across a range of sectors and topics. Delve into a chapter below or look for a specific article of interest.

The Guide to Digital Innovation 2020 was released on a rolling weekly basis from July until September. The Guide is now available to read in full below. 

Introduction

The inter-connected world we live in today exists as a culmination of decades of ideas and innovations within the digital space. In this ever-changing technological landscape, it is important to take a moment to look to the future and consider the key trends and impactors that will be affecting our industry in the coming years.

For this reason, the IAB has decided to build on the success of our 2018 Guide to Digital Innovation with an updated version of the project, highlighting the key digital trends of 2020 and beyond.

The IAB’s central mission is to build a sustainable future for digital advertising, and helping businesses prepare for that future is part of the process. This project is therefore intended to provide a resource that is not only exciting and ground-breaking, but also equips businesses with the insights and knowledge they need to prepare and adapt for what is to come.

Chapter Five: Using Digital For Good

In an increasingly digital world, it is easy to become too focussed on the financial and performance benefits of innovations. In this chapter, we will take a step back and examine how innovations in the way we use the digital world can have a positive effect on society, and how - when leveraged correctly - the activity we launch can benefit everyone within the supply chain, from publisher to consumer.
