Episode 367: Why You Shouldn’t Panic About Google’s New Changes and How It Can Actually Improve Your Campaigns

It’s human nature to freak out every time another change happens in the internet advertising world, but this time you really don’t need to. Trust us. 

In today’s episode, host Kasim Aslam sits down with John Moran, Chief Strategist at Solutions 8 and “smartest Google Ads guy in the whole wide world.” John is actually excited about this new Google change which means everything is going to be okay. FLoC (Federated Learning of Cohorts) was Google’s web tracking answer to the iOS privacy updates, but now they’ve killed FLoC and introduced Topics. Why? How? What’s the difference? What does this mean for advertisers? And when are things going to stop changing for a hot second?

Listen in as Kasim and John answer all the questions you have, and a few you never even thought to ask.

• The key differences between FLoC and Topics (and why you need to know)
