• Challenges in Connected TV: The fragmented CTV landscape lacks unified audience targeting and measurement standards.
• TikTok's Growing Influence: As TikTok remains a cultural hub, Digitas advises clients to use it actively and authentically.
• Creator Economy and Social Strategy: Digitas leverages creators through its S.W.A.T. (Share worthy and Trending) program, which identifies trends and pairs creators with brands to produce authentic, real-time content, with a focus on diversity and cultural relevance.
• Integrating Media and CRM: There’s a significant, underutilized potential in linking CRM with media for seamless customer engagement.
