  • #9 How different sources communicate – to be hidden
  • #10 Mention the original slide deck and how I realized it was every other presentation I’ve seen about programmatic and how I know that hasn’t helped me a ton. Two ways: automated thru someone else, semi-manual using a vendor such as The Trade Desk or Google’s Double Click
  • #11 “Even if machines are managing real time optimizations people need to analyze that data and make strategic decisions on future optimizations/parameters, and then summarize the data and turn those into key learning's that should have an impact well beyond just performance marketing initiatives.”
  • #12 How much detail do I need to be in control of? What is minimum? (Vendors often have minimum, DC has minimum to become partner) How can do you track performance? This is where that DMP word comes back (or through GA or another import) How can I segment? Geo, budgets, audience, CONTENT What kind of audience data do you use? 1st or 3rd, email lists, GAP tags What is your specialty? Video, rich media ads, mobile, quality or real estate
  • #14 Quality concerns: Quality -If parameters not put into place inventory can run on poor quality sites, brand safety, whitelists and blacklists help Viewability -This is a digital problem not just a programmatic problem, tech available at additional small premium Complaints from March 2015: 61.4% Placement transparency 40.5% Inventory forecasting 34.0% First look impressions 26.1% Amount of rich media 19.0% Share of Voice 19.0% Audience targeting
  • #15 What is minimum? (Vendors often have minimum, DC has minimum to become partner but not when using a partner)
  • #16 How can do you track performance? This is where that DMP word comes back (or through GA or another import) OR the vendor themselves have a DMP that you can access.
  • #19 1st party – place their pixel 3rd party – use existing lists (such as GAP) from your DMP
  • #20 DBM lets you target devices (smartphone, smart tv, tablet, desktop) OR environment desktop/mobile web, mobile app, mobile interstitial)
  • #22 How much detail do I need to control? Do you need to make budget adjustments on the fly? Will you have major changes in promotions or creative? Are there segments that must be in place to be approved? (such as geo or device)
  • #23 How much detail do I need to control? Do you need to make budget adjustments on the fly? Will you have major changes in promotions or creative? Are there segments that must be in place to be approved? (such as geo or device)
  • #24 What is your specialty? Video, rich media ads, mobile, quality or real estate. Do they have a specific industry they focus on
  • #25 What is your specialty? Video, rich media ads, mobile, quality or real estate. Do they have a specific industry they focus on?
  • #26 Okay, you’ve chosen your style Next question is what kind of assets are you working with? Banner ads? Mobile specific strategy? Video? (what else is there?)
  • #27 Why prospecting? According to Quantcast via eMarketer in 2014, branding increases efficiency, reduces costs, has the ability to optimize in real time, and also use and generate 1st party data. What is your prospecting USP? Why direct response? 1st party data, low funnel means just reminding that they were interested or adding to what they know of you. What is DR USP? Be ready for view-thrus. Everyone wants to report on conversions but they’re really just part-of-the-conversion process. ** Search Retargeting & Site Retargeting!!***
  • #28 Rich media ads (Interstitial (floating), expanding, video, audio, etc), video assets, social media (Facebook), dynamic creative; Dynamic creative is available! (with advanced aspects of it for those who are ready)
  • #29 What are audience touch points (specific for Brand awareness, Email marketing, Social engagement, and retargeting, as well as things like Seasonality) Upon segmenting out to whom you’re saying what, this allows for a slow build of what campaigns need to go where. This can be accomplished through a more manual platform like TTD or DMB, or through specific vendors with clear objectives.
  • #30 Upon segmenting out to whom you’re saying what, this allows for a slow build of what campaigns need to go where. This can be accomplished through a more manual platform like TTD or DMB, or through specific vendors with clear objectives.
  • #31 -Place pixel(s) and establish goals. Again DMB’s version of this might be different, it’s basically creating a new list for each audience (some vendors can use GTM, others can’t. they’ll know) -Creative (or have created) the campaigns and segments you’ve decided upon -Load and label ads -How to add tracking (integrate with GAPDCM, or DMP) to pull data into whatever source. CHECK that this works and verify where you’ll be looking to optimize performance --- Such as the fact that your sites should have onsite engagements ---- do you need a blacklist of poor performing sites? Do you regularly check the frequency of traffic from the same IP address?
  • #32 -Place pixel(s) and establish goals. Again DMB’s version of this might be different, it’s basically creating a new list for each audience (some vendors can use GTM, others can’t. they’ll know) Floodlight tags fire like a conversion and mark the source, which helps to deduplicate sales (reducing the frequency of overcounting) Create floodlight pixel for whatever you want to check, even if it’s different by source -How to add tracking (integrate with GAPDCM, or DMP) to pull data into whatever source.

  • #37 Once you’ve launched, how do you compare performance
  • #41 When to segment between devices? When to target or exclude from consideration? Bid modifiers are possible, also simply reduced coverage for some devices SCREENSHOT: The Trade Desk build OR DBM Insertion Order
