    • We think IDFA is not a long-term issue and the industry will develop technology to solve for privacy, targeting and measurement.


  • Tailwind for digital advertising remains strong as linear TV advertising declines enabling 10%+ growth for many years, plus strong incremental margins as advertising is essentially a fixed cost business.
