How to Pivot Into and Grow Your Career in the Adtech Industry

About this session

Advertising Technology (adtech) is a bustling industry of opportunity.

Everywhere you look, you can see its thumbprint: on billboards, TV, social media, magazines, the internet, radio, podcasts... the list goes on.

Within the world of adtech is programmatic advertising, which is the use of automated technology for media buying, and is a constantly changing and expanding field.

Everyone needs it, from substantial chain companies to small, local businesses. The need to be seen, heard, and relevant is essential for success.

With demand comes opportunity.

Whether you're looking to pivot into a career in adtech, or grow your existing capabilities, opportunities seem limitless.

Matterkind refers to programmatic as “addressable activation,” because we believe that digital advertising must work together across all channels and activations fluidly and be driven by data. But no matter what you call it, this field has a language of its own. Entering or expanding into such a vast yet technical field can feel terrifying.

That's why Gladis Crespo, Manager of Addressable Strategy and Activation at Matterkind (Kinesso), and Joseph Quashie, Matterkind’s (Kinesso) Director of Programmatic Addressable Strategy, want to help others enter the adtech industry or accelerate in their current role.

There is a little something for everyone in the advertising industry – and Gladis and Joseph want to help you find those opportunities and succeed!

Some key topics they will discuss in this chat are:

  • Leveraging your unique background to pivot to addressable activation
  • Expanding your role in adtech
  • Transferable skills that will help you succeed in the industry
  • Identifying workshops and certifications to help you be more successful in adtech
  • How to leverage internal resources to help you grow your career
