New research commissioned by Project Sunblock shows that more than a third of UK brands have no insight into where their display advertising is appearing online. A further more worrying statistic for the online advertising industry is that nearly half of senior marketers in the UK believe that online advertising is not transparent enough.

To tell us more about the outcomes of Project Sunblock research and discuss the challenges facing the online advertising industry is Duncan Trigg, CEO of Project Sunblock.

There are significant dangers, not to mention costs to brands who wake up to find their brand sitting next to something wholly inappropriate. In this podcast we outline, the scale of the problem, the implications and what the online advertising industry needs to do to adddress them.

Duncan gives his view based on Project Sunblock research on how the online advertising industry can get through the current growing pains to offer marketers a safe, regulated and transparent solution. This all comes of course on the back of the recent announcement that Google and Microsoft agreed measures to block explicit content online.

Considering using online advertising for your brand? Nervous about where your campaign might show up online? Duncan Trigg, CEO of Project Sunblock talks you through the things to watch out for.

One of the buzzwords of the year is of course the “Internet of Things” and in recent news Google has announced its acquisition of Nest, a provider of web-controlled thermostats.

On the podcast to discuss the significance of this is Gilad Meiri, CEO of Neura.  He recently released a whitepaper entitled “The Internet of Things – Where is the Inflection point” Gilad believes that this latest acquisition is an indication that big players in the industry are all ready to jump onto the Internet of Things bandwagon and release it's potential.

His words come with a warning however as you'll hear him inferring that Google’s move to acquire Nest is more about data gathering than anything else and that we should all be concerned about how this data is to be used in the future.

He finished by giving us an insight into Neura, a company also creating "Internet of Things" products and explains how their offerings fit into the current marketplace.
