Forget buzzwords like influencer marketing, augmented reality or artificial intelligence. The big topic at Advertising Week this year was “control.” From brands to agencies and platforms, everyone wants more, but in the amorphous stew that is digital marketing, can any one ingredient ever truly dominate the rest?
