• In-housing – An advertiser taking direct control of an element of marketing
• Out-sourcing – Paying someone else to do it for you

28. Final thoughts
1. In-housing will not be right for everyone or everything
2. Consider what model/flavour of in-housing is right for you. What are you trying to
achieve and then establish what will deliver that. It’s not all or nothing.
3. Seek independent advisors – specialists, peers, trade associations
4. Seek forums like these. Learn from other brands. Be prepared to share.
5. Be prepared to invest in the long game

Editor's Notes
No one size fits all
One brand - taking account management of agency in-house
Another brand - in-housing as part of journey to change brand perception and taking control of data and moving away from paid media altogether.

Data & Analytics
ANA
30% have programmatic capabilities in house vs 44% who have not
Among those who do not have in-house programmatic capabilities or don’t know, only 15 percent have considered adding such capabilities in the next year.
This indicates that the movement towards in-house programmatic media buying has likely peaked
IAB Programmatic In-housing Study
Full in-housing is in the minority – 18% of brands claim to in-house all programmatic buying functions
Hybrid in-housing is prevalent – 47% of brands have partially moved programmatic functions in house which means that they are outsourcing tasks to media agencies and/or DSP partners
Tested but not taking – another 13% have trialed an in-house programmatic operation and have decided not to go forward
Abstention – 22% of brands don’t currently intend to develop an in-house capability
