16. TRANSPARENCY PERFORMANCE INVENTORY QUALITY
The Programmatic Industry’s First Quality Index for Suppliers
Auctions and price floors leave suppliers with room
for manipulation. Transparency refers to any
insights the supplier provides when an auction
takes place. Factors of this measure help to
determine whether the supplier operates as a “black
box” or transmits all information necessary to know
where an advertiser’s money is going.
Sociomantic assigns scores to ensure that both
supplier technology and inventory will supper the
performance objectives of our clients. The
performance measure includes factors such as
abnormal fluctuations in prices or in the qualitative
value of an ad impression being auctioned.
Inventory quality can differ largely across suppliers.
This measure tests for the actual value of inventory
being sold, the likelihood of users noticing the ad,
whether it is seen, whether we are buying legitimate
ad impressions, whether we are bidding on premium
or remnant inventory, etc.

Editor's Notes
The huge global reach is a big plus, since this is something that most mobile only competitors can’t offer. We can reach the users anywhere in the mobile inventory: mWeb, In-App and mobile native.
A real-time bid on a given publisher’s inventory for the same impression can cascade down as follows:We have a preferred deal worth 5€
We buy the impression for 5€ if we bid 5€ or more
We don’t buy the impression if we bid 4.99€ or less and our bid will cascade down to our private auction
We have a private auction deal for which we have a negotiated floor price of 3€ (different buyers can sometimes have different floor prices)
We buy the impression for 3€ or the second highest bid if we bid 3€ or more and no other buyer bids higher
We don’t buy the impression if another buyer bids higher
We don’t buy the impression if we bid below our floor price and no other buyer bids higher than their floor price. The impression will cascade down to the open auction.
Please note that bids are not adjusted in the process which means that our initial bid will be placed across all three layers.
With all the hype around it, many might think that big data is the answer to their omnichannel problems, but in fact, big data can be a big dilemma. That's why we recommend advertisers to start with the data they already have, that's already structured and maybe not being put to good use to drive seamless marketing. We call it smart data.
Based on our data-driven experience with variables constituting the quality of SSPs, an algorithm was developed which consists of a couple dozen factors that are subject to a range of key measures. Currently, the SQX comprises three overarching measures to score an SSP:
Transparency
Performance
Inventory Quality
Transparency refers to any insights the supplier provides when an auction takes place. We’ve determined a range of factors that characterize whether the supplier operates as a blackbox or actually transmits all the information necessary for us to know where our advertiser’s money goes. Performance is based on any abnormal fluctuations in prices or in the qualitative value of an ad impression being auctioned. Inventory quality tests for the actual value of inventory being sold – is the inventory seen? Are we buying legitimate ad impressions, are users likely to notice the ads, are we bidding on premium or remnant inventory and so on.

As we centre around the user, where the user is becomes irrelevant. No such thing as channels anymore, only how to communicate to the user
Specific to travel, we work with key players in the airlines, OTAs, Meta search, and home rentals segments. Our solutions cater to requirements such as creating a brand buzz, to look alike audience modeling to reach out to high quality prospects, driving new bookings, re-engagement, driving repeat bookings & loyalty with an ultimate objective of maximizing customer lifetime value

Wrong Expectations
As we all know clients spends big on marketing and advertising. All their forces are focused on converting to sale.
The operations to track consumer tought the ads to purchase we call a funnel. The metaphor works perfectly because the number of potential customers occurs at each step of this process.
Most valuable are obviously clients from the bottom part of the funnel.
As programmatic matured we started to look at methods to attract customers that had not been to the site before. Rather than focus on trying to reach users in specific editorial environments we began to develop audience data for targeting audience profiles. Marketers also begin to use 1st party data in their prospecting, finding that the data from their existing customers is extremely useful in identifying new customers.
But what if I tell you that a funnel works as a “hourglass” where we can constantly refilling value through loyalty/advocacy?
