Use cases for the advertising industry may not seem as disruptive or obvious to those who are unfamiliar with the digital media market, but to advertising industry professionals, blockchain has even more transformative potential than it does in industries such as remittances, capital markets, food supply chain and government services. Unlike other industries, the real impact of blockchain on the advertising industry is likely to occur "behind the scenes" in ways that may very well go undetected by most consumers. In many respects, this can be taken as a sign that the use cases are more practical and real.
