And, 54% of consumers have reduced or stopped purchasing from organisations they think missed the mark on environmental or social issues.

I get it – you’re probably used to hearing about how the loss of third-party cookies, GDPR, and iOS privacy changes spell certain doom for the marketing industry – but our survey shows that isn’t true. Out of over 1,000 marketers impacted by data privacy changes, 32% say they’ve had a positive impact on their marketing strategy over the past year, while just 10% say privacy changes had a negative effect.
