Getting the Numbers Right

Ghost Bidding for Causal Advertising Measurement

whitePaper | August 10, 2022

It’s critical for marketers to know if their campaigns are influencing behavior in response to an ad. But to really know if a campaign actually works, consumer response must be compared with those who hadn’t been exposed to the ad. This new study demonstrates the dramatic power of “ghost bidding” in revealing true campaign effectiveness. A large U.S.-based apparel company ran an extended ad campaign to a targeted audience. The difference? The company used demand-side platform technology to simultaneously expose and exclude identical user groups from viewing the ad. This A/B study used “ghost bidding”—withdrawing bids from the excluded group at the last moment—to plot the true effectiveness of display, video and audio ads, and demonstrated a powerful validation of marketing effectiveness.

Checklist of Reasons That You Need a White-Label Ad Tech Platform

whitePaper | November 10, 2022

Every portal, website or app owner wants to control which goods and services will be advertised on their platform and at what price. This is a perfectly normal and understandable desire. Supply-side programmatic platforms have obvious advantages like algorithmic selling, the ability to sell advertising spots to premium customers in private auctions, and monetization tools. However, many media owners strive to create their own, independent solutions.

THE STATE OF MEASUREMENT, PRIVACY, AND COMPLIANCE: Privacy and Compliance Top List of Advertiser Priorities

whitePaper | May 21, 2021

IDC’s survey of senior advertising decision makers in large companies in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany found that digital measurement has become table stakes for anyone who wants to run mobile marketing campaigns. There is little wonder why: measurement has proven to significantly increase return on advertising spend (ROAS) and the ability to retain advertisers’ competitiveness. While advertisers in all three countries reported that vendors delivered well on the measurement features they desired, they also felt there was room for improvement in terms of delivering on most privacy protection and compliance features. This likely was not due to vendors falling short but simply because privacy and compliance have become such top-of-mind issues.
