Q&A: How brands and retailers are using commerce media and data for more accurate campaigns

The popularity and convenience of online shopping have helped large e-commerce companies and mass merchants to recognize that monetizing first-party data and ad inventory on their digital properties will lead to more effective consumer reach and engagement.

Those developers have to agree to let Gameview check their ads. No small task.
