In order to gather both qualitative and quantitative insights, supply-side and demand-side stakeholders were interviewed during the primary research process. CEOs, vice presidents of product development, chief data privacy officers, and commercial directors from MarTech solution providers, mobile ad networks, and location-based advertising platforms were examples of supply-side sources. Chief marketing officers, directors of digital strategy, media buying heads, and procurement leads from retail chains, travel and hospitality companies, entertainment venues, and real estate developers were examples of demand-side sources. Market segmentation, technology deployment schedules, platform acceptance trends, pricing models, and privacy compliance tactics were all verified by primary research.
