## Key trends

- **Recapturing Value in the 'Dark' Web**: Publishers are moving past the threat of cookie deprecation by using identity resolution to monetize environments like Safari and Firefox. This shift from defense to offense suggests that 'ID-less' traffic is becoming a high-yield growth area rather than a lost cause.
- **Predictive Sentiment as a Performance Metric**: By using AI to forecast emotional responses like fear or engagement before launch, brands are reducing the risk of creative failure. This treats 'soft' creative elements with the same data-driven rigor as programmatic bidding.
