Publishers are utilizing Tapad's Device Graph to gain an understanding of how a user engages with their site, regardless of the device being used to access the site. The benefit is that the publisher can customize advertising creative, editorial content, or sequentially message the user or dynamically change elements as the user switches between devices.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.thalamus.co/blog/tapad-cross-device/|title=Tapad on their acquisition by Telenor, and the Future of Cross-Device|website=www.thalamus.co|access-date=2016-11-03}}</ref>
