To reach these consumers wherever they are to drive brand interactions, marketers have long relied on deterministic, or login-based, approaches to reach consumers across devices.

But that approach is changing as a new method makes inroadsand allows marketers greater flexibility.

Deterministic has long been associated with the large social networks and Internet properties. These networks use consumer-provided data, including personal information such as phone numbers, home addresses, birth dates, family members’ names, interests, sexual orientation, political views and even medical history and credit card numbers.

Abandoned Soviet Buildings by Rebecca Litchfield

Rebecca Litchfield est une photographe basée à Londres. Son sujet de prédilection est caractérisé par les bâtiments abandonnés, voire en ruines. Dans sa série intitulée « Soviet Ghosts » elle a immortalisé des bâtiments laissés à l’abandon à la suite de la chute de l’URSS. Ainsi ses clichés nous emmènent en Russie, en Bulgarie, en Allemagne, en Hongrie, en République Tchèque ou encore en Lettonie. Ces instantanés nous transportent dans des espaces où le temps semble arrêté.
