Adobe Debuts New Tool To Put Ads And Product Placement In Virtual Reality

Posted on by Lab Team

What Happened
Adobe is entering the world of virtual reality with new Adobe Primetime products. The company unveiled Virtual Cinema, a feature that will allow Primetime clients to develop customizable virtual environments for users to view traditional video content in. It aims to transport viewers into a cinema, a home theater, or a branded atmosphere, where product placement will also be possible.

Moreover, Adobe is adding a tool in Primetime that produces immersive videos that viewers can enjoy in 360 or 180 degrees with a Samsung Gear VR or Google Cardboard headset. Adobe is also enabling pre-roll, mid-roll, and post-roll ads for both 360 viewing and virtual cinema.

What Brands Need To Do
By introducing these tools, Adobe is opening the door for brand marketers to enter the virtual reality space. With the quickening pace of VR development and the increasing number of platforms supporting immersive video content, virtual reality is well-positioned to capture mainstream consumer attention soon. As the audience size for VR content continues to grow, brands need to be proactive in utilizing the new tools available to reach consumers in an engaging and immersive way.

Adobe To Launch Data Co-Op To Improve Cross-Device Attribution

Posted on by Lab Team

What Happened
Following the debut of its Audience Marketplace last November, which allowed brands to more easily share their first-party data, Adobe has announced a new Cross-Device Co-op program to further facilitate data cooperation between brands. The company will use contributed logged-in data from any single brand to determine groups of devices owned by an individual or household, and all other brands participating in the co-op program can tap into that data to accurately track and target identified users across those devices. Adobe promises that users can opt out of this tracking and that all users are anonymized.

What Brands Need To Do
As consumers jump from device to device throughout the day, it is important for brand advertisers to figure out how to identify people instead of devices. At the moment, marketers often depend on utilizing Facebook and Google log-ins for cross-device tracking and targeting. This new tool from Adobe should help reduce marketers’ reliance on those platforms and provide brands with improved attribution, more effective targeting capabilities, and an overall better understanding of their audiences.

Adobe Makes Its Ad Platform “History-Aware” For More Effective Retargeting

Posted on by Lab Team

What Happened
Adobe promises to help retailers eliminate ads for products that the targeted consumer has already bought. It is making its Marketing Cloud ad platform “history-aware” by incorporating past behavioral data including purchase histories into retargeting, the company announced at the National Retail Federation’s annual retail conference earlier this week. Moreover, Adobe is also tapping into contextual data to help retailers send more relevant triggered messaging to prospective customers via email, texts, or push notifications.

What Retailers Need To Do
Adobe’s new addition to its ad platform helps eliminate one particularly annoying part of digital advertising – being retargeted by ads that are no longer relevant. It also highlights the value of integrating customer data into their digital efforts, something that retailers should work with their ad tech vendors to implement, which will make for more effective retargeting and ultimately drive better sales.

According to TechCrunch, Adobe is getting ready to announce new predictive tools for Adobe Social that will allow brands to optimize and predict engagement for posts on Facebook before they go live.  While we’ve seen similar products in the space that analyze text and content type, Adobe’s access to unique user data and performance stats for a wide range of brands may give it an edge over competitors.  The Facebook program should launch this summer, with predictive tools for other social media outlets getting added to the mix later this year.
