Thinking about it, the title of this piece could as well have been the other way around. Everyone is talking about GDPR these days, but how does that fit in with the big trend of context marketing? As responsible for both marketing and privacy policies at The Reference, it pains me to say that it is all about finding the middle ground. Something that I’m sure no privacy lawyer wants to hear. There is no middle ground when it comes to the law. However, my marketing heart bleeds if I cannot use all mu precious tools to their fullest. Where to go from here and how to cope with this new dual reality?

Selligent has gathered its European partners in Amsterdam last week for some exciting news about some serious changes it is going through as we speak. A lot of great additions to the team, a flashy new branding and, most important of all, a complete makeover of the software itself. As a long-lasting partner, The Reference witnessed the changes first-hand over the last 6 months and we can tell you it has been and will be a thrilling ride. The leap they are taking on all different fronts still has to show the necessary results of course, but there are some brave steps that might very well bring in the gold.

In this post, we will examine the GDPR in-depth for you, as a natural person.
