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.

However, many media owners strive to create their own, independent solutions. Creating an independent platform requires considerable time, financial and human resources, but this step is understandable, because an in-house platform allows maximum control over the monetization of a digital marketplace.
