Ghost Bidding for Causal Advertising Measurement

August 10, 2022

Causal Advertising Measurement
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. 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. However, before making such a decision, it is important to understand if it is really necessary, or if it is enough to reconsider the settings of monetization tools or switch the platform to monetize.
