Responsibly leverage data and technology to deliver effective brand engagement at scale.

The use of data to derive insights, develop creative, traffic communications, and measure and optimize performance is vital, and it's evolving fast. Platform and regulatory changes like the deprecation of third-party cookies and the advent of new privacy laws around the world will require new consumer-focused and privacy-compliant solutions as well as new marketing skills to responsibly reach the intended audience, improve customer experience, and drive growth.

We're focused on providing products and services — such as training, committees, conferences, webinars, and detailed summary reports — to help members understand and effectively navigate the evolving addressability landscape while enhancing and optimizing their prior and future investments.

Research and Reports

The assets below were created as part of the Addressable Media Action Plan, which was designed to quickly respond to some of the priority challenges our members are facing as they prepare for platform and consumer behavioral shifts related to the respectful and transparent use of data in marketing.

The Partnership for Responsible Addressable Media

The Partnership for Responsible Addressable Media (PRAM) was created to develop privacy-preserving principles, standards, and infrastructure for addressable communications between consumers and businesses that safely leverage data to improve campaign optimization and attribution, increase transparency among partners, support funding for content and services, and operate across channels.

More than 400 companies and over 1,000 individuals from around the world — including leadership from the ANA and many of the world's leading brands, agencies, publishers, ad tech partners, and platforms — participated from its launch in August 2020 until its work was complete in February 2022, when it focused on operationalizing and scaling its efforts to educate and enable members to safely and effectively navigate both the Identifier and Non-Identifier spaces in search of the appropriate portfolio approach as the addressability evolution continues to unfold over the next several years.

PRAM transitioned the process for certification, education, and enforcement around Addressable Media Identifiers (AMIs) to the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) and the ANA launched this new Addressability Practice to focus on Non-Identifier approaches that seek to provide similar advertising and operations functionality, such as device-based cohorts, on-device processing, context-based ads, and emerging privacy-enhancing technologies.
