Defining the GDPR Impact on Digital Advertising

May 17, 2018

The General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR is the overall regulation on the protection and handling of personal data for the European Union coming into force from May 25, 2018. No one working in digital marketing or indeed any business that deals with personal data doubts the importance of the GDPR. It brings changes to existing data protection law, and is designed to strengthen rights and empower individuals by giving them more control over their personal data. Things such as clear consent and data protection principles are given greater emphasis. These changes to data usage could potentially have a huge impact on businesses and the way they handle their customer data. If you’re an advertiser, publisher or other Rakuten Marketing partner dealing with customer data, it’s very important for you to have a robust compliance regime in place. If businesses aren’t compliant by May 25, 2018, the consequences could be drastic: warnings of fines of up to 4% of annual global turnover, or 20,000,000 EUR have been clearly laid out.

whitePaper | February 15, 2020

One of the problems the influencer marketing industry has had has been convincing people that celebrity does not equate with influence. The reality is that people trust micro-influencers far more than they do stars, and are far more likely to take notice of a micro-influencer's recommendation than one made by a celebrity. Therefore it should come as no surprise that brands are moving their influencer marketing towards micro-influencers as education about the industry improves.
