A new frontier: HOW WILL GOOGLE RESHAPE the future of digital cookies?

Navigating the New Digital Marketing Era: Beyond the Cookie's Demise
In the ever-evolving digital marketing landscape, where innovation and competition drive continuous change, a significant transformation is underway. Google's strategic move to end third-party cookies on Chrome marks a pivotal shift towards a privacy-focused digital era. This change, initially affecting a modest 1% of Chrome users—or a staggering 30 million individuals—signifies a major overhaul in digital advertising strategies.

Embracing Enhanced Privacy in Digital Marketing
The decline of third-party cookies, which have been pivotal in tracking user behavior across sites for targeted digital marketing campaigns, is a response to growing privacy concerns. The move away from these invasive tracking methods on Chrome is part of a broader industry trend towards safeguarding user privacy, affecting strategies across Google Ads, Facebook advertising, and beyond.

With privacy concerns taking center stage, major browsers like Mozilla's Firefox and Apple's Safari have already enhanced user privacy, setting the stage for Google's 2020 announcement to phase out third-party cookies on Chrome. Despite delays, this shift underscores a significant pivot in how digital marketing operates, with Chrome's 65% share of global internet traffic highlighting the immense impact of Google's privacy initiatives.

Adapting Digital Marketing Strategies for a Post-Cookie World
This seismic shift in digital marketing demands strategic adaptation. The decline of third-party cookies signals the need for new approaches that respect privacy while maintaining the efficacy of digital advertising campaigns, including Google Ads and Facebook advertising. Apex Current, led by founder & CEO Corbitt Chandler, offers innovative solutions by embracing Artificial Intelligence (AI like OpenAI / ChatGPT), leveraging first-party data, and refining targeting strategies for privacy-conscious personalized advertising.

Innovating with Apex Current in the Digital Marketing Landscape
Transitioning to a digital ecosystem without third-party cookies might seem daunting, but Apex Current, transforms it into an opportunity for digital marketing innovation. We specialize in using first-party data and smarter targeting techniques that comply with current privacy standards, ensuring your marketing efforts on platforms like Google Ads and Facebook advertising remain effective and relevant in this new era.

U.S. Small Business Administration SELECTS corbitt chandler as digital marketing subject matter expert for T.H.R.I.V.E. Executive Level Business Training for Entrepreneurs

Apex Current founder & SBA THRIVE Subject Matter Expert, Corbitt Chandler.

WASHINGTON, D.C., May 26, 2022 — The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has announced that Corbitt Chandler, founder and CEO of Apex Current, will serve as the Digital Marketing and Social Media Subject Matter Expert (SME) for T.H.R.I.V.E. Emerging Leaders Reimagined, a c-suite level training program for small business leaders.

"The T.H.R.I.V.E. Emerging Leaders Reimagined initiative is designed to equip up-and-coming small business leaders with tools, knowledge, and access to the brightest minds in economic development and business," stated Mark Madrid, Associate Administrator of the Office of Entrepreneurial Development. "Under the Biden-Harris Administration and Administrator Guzman's leadership, the SBA is tirelessly working to empower small business owners, to fuel their growth, and continue bolstering our nation's historic economic surge. We are energized, mobilized, and ready for action."

The program aims to cultivate strong leaders and boost the growth of high-potential small businesses throughout the United States. It provides complimentary entrepreneurship education and training to executives of qualifying high-performing small businesses. The six-month intensive executive entrepreneurship training series will encompass in-person coaching, self-paced learning, mentoring, and classroom instruction.

Participants will collaborate with a network of experienced SMEs specializing in core business topics, each tailored to meet the unique needs of small business owners. These topics span across accounting, business strategy, marketing, human resources, and, of course, digital marketing.

“It’s a privilege to be chosen as one of the program’s Subject Matter Experts,” commented Corbitt Chandler, the founder of the performance-driven digital marketing agency, Apex Current. “I've always relished the process of teaching and training small business owners how to grow their businesses using effective, strategic, paid digital advertising & social media strategies that yield tangible results. I'm eager to deliver as much value as possible to these owners and positively influence their small businesses.”

The initiative is spearheaded by the SBA’s Office of Entrepreneurial Development, which has collaborated with Isom Global Strategies (IGS), a strategic marketing and management firm based in Washington, D.C. This fresh partnership between the SBA and IGS aims to perform a significant revamp of the program's infrastructure, virtualizing certain aspects post-pandemic.

The program's intensive curriculum includes 66 total hours of training, comprising 33 hours of in-person classroom sessions with a business coach and 33 hours of online video training modules led by SMEs. Approximately 1,000 business owners participating in this year's program will be the first to experience this new online segment.

SMEs from across the country, each an expert in their field, have been carefully selected. These SMEs, contracted by the SBA, will develop course content and record video training modules for their sections of the online course. Topics covered include effective leadership, business planning, raising capital, culture, driving sales, and digital marketing & social media strategies.

For the Digital Marketing and Social Media Strategies sections of the program, the SBA chose Chandler due to his extensive experience as a digital marketing expert and successful entrepreneur. These parts of the program will include two core sections, with Chandler leading the paid digital and social media marketing sections and fellow SME, Tani Lopez, a social media creator and entrepreneur, leading the segments related to organic social media management.

“I’m excited to collaborate with Tani, who’s extremely talented in her field, to develop these modules,” said Chandler. “Although our roles are different, they are two sides of the same coin. Our shared goal is for participants to derive the maximum value possible from our allocated time.”
