22. Several Themes Have Converged
22
Technology can deliver benefits through automation
The object of “engagement” should be the audience—not
the channel
Rich datasets can fuel the identification and engagement
of target audience
23. Despite Growth in Programmatic Buying, Uncertainties Remain
23
• Confusion over terminology
• Opacity
• Complexity of tech stack
• Channel conflict
• Lack of clear technical standards & guidelines
• Discrepancies over size & growth of market
• Lack of liquidity
Significant growth Obstacles profound
• 85% of advertisers buy programmatically
• 91% plan to over the next two years

33. Disclosure is Important
Regardless of native advertising unit type, the IAB
advocates that, for paid native ad units, clarity and
prominence of the disclosure is paramount.
Simply Put:
Regardless of context, a reasonable consumer should be
able to distinguish between what is paid advertising vs.
What is publisher editorial content.

39. Viewability Today
39
Some publishers report higher prices for viewable ads
Better brand lift for viewable campaigns
Standard viewable impression with duration measurement brings us close to cross-platform GRPs
The Good…
Confusion in the marketplace
Too many “viewability” vendors add cost and complexity
Some buyers, who were participant all along in 3MS, have tried to rewrite the agreed-upon industry standard
The Bad…
Lack of clarity around the differences between viewability and fraud, unmeasurable and fraudulent…
