• Develop targeted audience capabilities
• Find an outsourced solution
15. Onboarding the Sales Team
• Provide targeted display capability
• Enable more inventory
• Develop training program
• Establish Ad Ops procedures
• Create marketing materials
16. Challenges
• Selling audiences instead of impressions
• Explaining and delivering targeted audiences
• Added expense of targeting
• Questions about observable impressions & sites
• Need for transparent reporting
• Pricing the program properly

21. Things to Consider
• If you’re big, it’s likely you already have your own direct solution
• If you’re smaller, audience extension is still possible
• Many third-party vendors offer access to exchanges. Ask them about:
• reporting
• site transparency
• best practice case studies
• their staff turnover
• order entry process
• # of platforms they use
• flexibility in creating new audience segments
• Use your own program name rather than that of your vendor
