InMobi Advertising, a leader in content monetization and marketing technologies, has launched the next generation of its Consent Management Platform (InMobi CMP). This self-service solution empowers mobile publishers to stay aligned with global privacy regulations, enhancing compliance, user trust, and ad revenue.

1. Global Privacy Platform (GPP) Support

   • InMobi CMP now supports GPP compliance across all mobile apps (Android, iOS, and Unity) and websites. This addition ensures compliance with multiple state regulations in the U.S., including CCPA in California, CPA in Colorado, CTDPA in Connecticut, UCPA in Utah, and VCDPA in Virginia, all of which are part of the MSPA framework.

2. Unity-Compatible UI Customization

   • The platform offers expanded customization for Unity-built apps, allowing publishers to personalize color schemes and font styles on consent prompts, seamlessly integrating the CMP with app design. This focus on UI enhances user experience and improves consent rates by making it easier for users to understand and manage their data preferences.

Industry Insights on Privacy and Consent Management
As privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA evolve, compliance becomes critical for mobile publishers seeking to maintain user trust. According to InMobi's survey, while 87% of mobile users expect privacy protection, only 42% feel that apps deliver on this promise. Bridging this trust gap can directly impact engagement, as 77% of users indicated that trust in an app influences their willingness to make in-app purchases.

Expert Opinions on Privacy-First Design

1. Abhay Singhal, CEO, InMobi Advertising

   • “Implementing robust consent management practices like the InMobi CMP demonstrates transparency and builds user trust, leading to higher engagement and advertiser demand for consented traffic.”

CMPs like InMobi’s enable users to update data permissions easily, reinforcing a transparent and trust-based data relationship, which can drive user satisfaction and increase app engagement.

With InMobi CMP’s latest features, mobile publishers can confidently navigate the complex landscape of privacy regulations while enhancing user experience and trust. Through GPP support and Unity UI customization, InMobi enables publishers to meet compliance requirements and improve consent rates, paving the way for stronger engagement and ad revenue growth.

Five9, a leader in Intelligent CX, has published a new survey exploring consumer attitudes toward AI in customer experience (CX). The survey results show a strong consumer preference for human interaction in customer service, especially during high-demand seasons like holidays. As businesses leverage AI to streamline CX, transparency and balance between automation and empathy become crucial for customer trust and brand loyalty.

1. Trust in AI-Driven CX Is Still Growing

   • Despite the integration of AI in customer service, 48% of consumers distrust information provided by AI customer service bots, with 56% expressing frustration over AI-driven chatbots.
   • 84% of consumers are aware of AI's role in CX, yet the preference for human interaction remains across all generations.

2. Younger Generations Are More Open to AI

   • Gen Z and Millennials are more comfortable with AI in CX than older generations, with 63% of Gen Z and 60% of Millennials trusting information from AI-powered customer service bots.
   • Gen Z is also less likely to prefer human interaction for support (66%) compared to Gen X (76%) and Baby Boomers (86%).

3. Holiday and High-Demand CX Expectations

   • During holiday shopping, 48% of consumers prioritize fast delivery, while 47% value product availability. This heightened demand also extends to sectors like healthcare and travel, where appointment and service availability top consumers' needs.
   • Poor customer experience during peak periods directly impacts brand loyalty, with 72% of older generations associating poor CX with decreased loyalty.

The Role of AI and Human Support in CX
AI has the potential to streamline routine tasks, allowing human agents to focus on more complex issues requiring empathy. According to Niki Hall, CMO at Five9, AI in CX can reduce friction, but empathy and transparency remain key to building long-term trust.

Implications for Businesses
As demand grows, brands must strategically balance AI’s efficiency with the human touch that consumers value. By fostering transparency around AI's role and maintaining empathetic support, brands can enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty.

Five9’s survey highlights a vital takeaway for businesses: consumers value the combination of AI-driven efficiency with the reliability of human support. For brands, the path forward lies in transparently integrating AI to complement, not replace, the human touch in CX.

Marketers have long faced the challenge of balancing short-term sales objectives with the enduring work of brand-building. Tracksuit’s new report, The Emotion Effect, addresses this issue by highlighting the power of emotional storytelling in brand marketing. With insights from Tracksuit, Google, IPSOS, and the Institute for Practitioners in Advertising, the white paper provides actionable insights to help marketers prioritize emotional connections over quick-fix strategies.

The Power of Emotional Advertising
The report demonstrates that emotional advertising outperforms rational messaging across both traditional and digital media. Emotional storytelling helps brands stand out, creating lasting impressions that drive long-term business value. This approach contrasts with the common, short-term focus on rational, promotional campaigns that can leave brands vulnerable in the long run.

Insights from The Emotion Effect
The Emotion Effect details seven “deadly sins” of emotionless advertising, revealing the pitfalls marketers often fall into when prioritizing short-term wins:

1. Greed

   • An excessive focus on brand awareness, prioritizing volume over quality connections.

2. Wrath

   • Using aggressive promotional tactics that push rational messaging without first fostering brand affinity.

3. Sloth

   • Relying on rational messages to meet short-term sales goals, which often undermines pricing power and long-term brand health.

Commentary from Industry Experts
James Hurman, Founding Partner at Tracksuit, notes the pressure marketers feel to achieve quick results, which can lead to an over-reliance on rational, activation-driven campaigns. By contrast, Ariane Pol, Global Head of Research at Google, emphasizes the importance of taking consumers on a journey, allowing brands to be perceived as unique and relevant even when consumers are not immediately in the market.

Brand Campaign Examples
The white paper showcases successful emotional campaigns from brands like Airbnb, Heineken, La Roche-Posay, and Mattel. These examples illustrate how brands can resonate deeply with audiences by focusing on emotional connections, storytelling, and shared values.

The Emotion Effect underscores the value of emotional storytelling for marketers seeking sustainable brand growth. With compelling insights and actionable strategies, Tracksuit’s report offers a roadmap for brands to avoid common pitfalls and achieve enduring success through emotionally engaging campaigns.
