There’s been a growing movement towards a cookie-less environment in digital advertising and the general trends towards restricting the use of consumer data are leaving digital marketers, brands, and publishers to re-evaluate their approaches in a privacy-driven environment. In this upheaval, first-party data and first-party relationships are moving to the forefront to shape the future of advertising, and consequently, publishing. Privacy-first, first-party data that is willingly shared by customers over time offers a distinct competitive advantage. OpenWeb is an online conversation platform that allows publishers to host social experiences without being reliant on social networks while building value first-party relationships with their audiences. Founded in 2012 as Spot.IM, OpenWeb works with 1000+ publishers, like News Corp., Hearst, and Yahoo, that represent 100M+ active monthly users in aggregate. AlleyWatch caught up with OpenWeb CEO and Cofounder Nadav Shoval to learn more about the company’s vision for the future of the web, expansion plans, and latest round of funding from investors that include Insight Partners, Georgian, Entree Capital, and Omer Cygler
