From April 27 to 29, the Possible Miami 2025 conference brought together marketers, adtech leaders, and platform representatives to explore the future of marketing and data-driven innovation. Among the attendees was Blake Wisz, representing Axeptio, who had the privilege of diving headfirst into discussions around consent management, marketing tech, and data privacy.
In addition to the plethora of sessions and panels, one significant moment was the opening with notable figures such as Tim Ellis, CMO of the National Football League (NFL), Artis Stevens, President of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, and Ray Davis of the Buffalo Bills. But what struck Blake the most was the slow yet undeniable shift toward compliance maturity on the American side of the Atlantic.
Embracing the Importance of Compliance
Although compliance wasn’t a primary focus at the event, it remains essential, particularly given the increasing regulatory environment in the United States. At Axeptio, a compliance management platform, we've long understood that compliance is foundational for effective marketing. Without legal data capture, marketers can't engage in account-based marketing, retargeting, or personalization.
During the conference, we interacted with numerous app owners and marketers who, surprisingly, were just beginning to grasp the magnitude of data privacy. It became clear how pivotal it is for all industry players to understand and adapt to these changes, ensuring they remain compliant and respectful of user data.
The Future: Ads, AI, and Personalization
One realization that stood out came from my interactions at POSSIBLE: Ads are destined to penetrate chatbots and AI. Though AI platforms are currently quite pure, their potential to attract large user bases invites a corresponding marketing presence. The upside? AI allows for ultra-tailored messaging, thanks to its rich data and deep personalization capabilities.
If AI and personalization were hot topics at the event, they also raised compliance questions. As AI-driven experiences become the norm, the quality and legality of the data powering these systems will be under scrutiny. Without clear consent protocols, hyper-personalization can quickly turn into a liability.
Looking Ahead with Axeptio
As we look towards the future at Axeptio, the insights and connections gained at POSSIBLE Miami 2025 only reinforce our commitment to leading in privacy and compliance.
At Axeptio, we see this moment as a unique opportunity to support U.S. marketers on their journey toward compliant, user-respectful data strategies. With the patchwork of state-wide regulations expanding and enforcement tightening, privacy can no longer be an afterthought—it must be embedded into the marketing tech stack. Whether through CCPA-compliant banners, multi-regulation consent flows, or education efforts, we’re here to help bridge the compliance gap between the U.S. and Europe.
