Scaling the Walled Garden: An Omnichannel Approach to Programmatic Buying
Seller fragmentation can muffle agencies’ buying power and hurt scale. In this session, Jed Dederick, RVP of Business Development at The Trade Desk, explores the impacts that omnichannel buying can have on reaching scale on a 1:1 basis, as well as how a multifaceted approach to programmatic buying can drive insights and build brands.
The Age of the Mobile PMP
In-app mobile programmatic buying has – already – leapfrogged desktop programmatic buying. Initially, desktop automated buying was limited to remnant inventory and low quality ad experiences. In-app mobile programmatic buying from day one has adapted all the goodness of advertising automation (transparency & control), but has focused on premium audience data and rich interactive creatives as the norm. This has brought about the Age of the Mobile PMP – Audience Built, Creative Driven. In this session, Anne Frisbie – SVP of Global Brand & Programmatic – will provide key insights in how your in-app mobile programmatic buying strategies need to vary from desktop buying strategies in order to take advantage of mobile’s benefits.
Learn how industry leaders are tackling attribution challenges with regard to cross-platform transactions to gain a better understanding of publishers’ value, from audience to inventory, and determine how the emergence of new supply sources impacts efficiencies.
Despite the rise of automation in digital, the human touch remains critical in transactions. Hear from leaders from in the publishing and agency world on how media will be bought and sold, and what skill sets are needed on both sides to be successful in closing the existing chasm between programmatic and direct sales.
Dig into the topics that matter most to your business objectives.
