"Over the last nine months, Atlas/Facebook says, the phrase “people-based marketing” has become industry standard, with advertising companies far and wide trumpeting their ability to target and measure real people across both mobile and desktop. As noted in eMarketer’s 2015 State of U.S. Digital Marketing report: “Strategically, marketers are focusing less on devices and more on people, specifically connecting with consumers wherever and whenever they access the web.” “People-based marketing" was first introduced into the industry lexicon. Since that time, the phrase has been used beyond Atlas by the media and a variety of industry players....But just as competition precludes uniformity, not every company that promises people-based marketing can deliver on it in the same way."
