Audience Platform already

at scale on network

Soon we will see audience

extension off network at

massive scale

But these will become closed networks forcing the advertiser to answer how to create a single customer view using first party identity management

Third Party Inventory (exchange, ad network, etc.)

Each of these companies is working to extend the ability to reach their users off network which will result in absolutely massive scale

Key Dimensions of Platform Utilization Platform Marketers must master new targeting, tracking, and ad-formats in order to

leverage the scale of the new platforms for direct marketing

Targeting products leveraging the platforms proprietary 1st

party data and ability to leverage advertiser 1st party data is

necessary

Targeting Formats are larger rich media

units natively placed within relevant content

Innovative Formats Enabling basic tracking like a

conversion pixel is necessary and cross device

Guiding Principles of Measurement & Attribution • Measurement is an enterprise-wide currency that should consistently measure

the value of consumer interactions with the brand

• A centralized measurement mechanism is needed to show cross-channel interplay understanding the influence and correlation across channels as consumers move seamlessly through channels and across devices

• Enable the organization to learn from the past and make better future decisions

• Allow the Platform Marketer to know “What value marketing and sales efforts drive within my business.”
