We are ticking down to January 1 when the California Consumer Privacy Act goes into effect. In preparation, the IAB has released[version 1.0 of the IAB CCPA Compliance Framework]( for publishers and technology companies involved in the programmatic ecosystem. The tradegroup said the initiative is the result of a months-long process involving input from multiple stakeholders, lawyers, and other experts. Itâs âintended to be used by those publishers who âsellâ personal information and those technology companies that they sell it to,â according to the IAB.
Quora is rolling out[lead generation forms for advertisers in its latest test](. The test is running on both mobile and desktop with a new Zapier integration designed to funnel leads into marketersâ CRM systems. It gives advertisers an opportunity to capture qualified leads in an environment where audiences are already looking for answers.
In 2018, Reddit reported 330 million monthly active users (MAU) on its platform. This year, Redditâs 2019 trend roundup reveals that number has grown by 30% â adding an additional 100 million monthly users since 2018. This means [Reddit now claims more monthly users than Twitter (321 million) and Pinterest (250 million)](. After undergoing a massive site redesign last year, Reddit has shown an increase in page views and time spent on its website and app, along with user engagement growth.

Pro Tip
Digital Asset Management on the rise
âGartnerâs 2018 marketing technology survey found that 79% of marketers had either fully deployed or were in the process of deploying a digital asset management (DAM) solution. Another 12% said they planned to deploy a DAM within the next two years. Only 10% of respondents (3% of whom said they âdonât knowâ) didnât indicate they planned to use digital asset management,â writes Pamela Parker, senior editor and projects manager at Third Door Media.
âWhat has changed about the environment is that the problems that DAMs are designed to handle have grown in importance as both consumers and business decision-makers engage with marketing content in a wide variety of environments and using multiple digital devices. Online members of Gen Y â the highly-coveted demographic of people between the ages of 29 and 37 â use more than four connected devices on average, according to a May 2018 Forrester Research report called âOmnichannel Strategies Demand a New Content Approach.âAnd even media thought of as âtraditional,â or as something other than media, are calling for the efficient delivery of digital assets, as the recent $300 million acquisition of Dynamic Yield by McDonaldâs proves. The QSR giant is using the technology to dynamically personalize its digital drive-through menus, and it will eventually expand this approach to its self-service ordering kiosks and its mobile app.â
