Notes de l'éditeur
We, as consumers, are constantly moving. Between screens, places and moments.Cross-Screen:In April 2013 for the first time, more than half of digital consumers in the U.S. engaged on both computers and mobile devices, resulting in a multi-platform majority. As of June 2013, that number hit 54 percent and continues to grow. (Source: comScore Marketing to the Multi-Platform Majority)Location:74% of U.S. smartphone owners say they use mobile location-based services(Source: Pew, Location bases services, 2013)Moments: 90% of U.S. smartphone users take pictures with their phone’s camera
Smartphones are basically ad platforms that we carry in our pockets, and RTB means that marketers can reach audiences in real-time, and target potential customers according to location and context. This simultaneous scale, control, transparency and efficiency are enabled by our premium access to data and inventory. Premium inventory + transparency + largest mobile data asset.World’s largest mobile ad exchange (1 billion impressions per day AND scaling to 2 billion in the 2nd quarter)Managed programmatic available as wellCross-screen impressions available Access MM’s premium inventory as well as inventory available on other exchanges, including Google, Nexage and MopubRich media ad units availableImplement conversion tracking to maximize ROIOptimizations executed by Millennial based on client goalsBidded, Dynamic CPC or CPMConsolidated reporting and analysis provided by Millennial MediaThrough 2014, we will evolve our options for Programmatic to include Self Service with MM’s DSP to Bring Your Own DSP.
Managed ServiceProgrammatic as a managed service is a good option for those new to programmatic buying. It enables buyers to leverage the benefits of programmatic – impression-level valuations and real-time bidding and optimizations, without having to have the infrastructure in place. When you’re looking at a managed service, consider:Scale: make sure your partners have the reach and scale to deliver. You wanted access to billions of impressions, but you want them to be high quality impressions.Inventory: premium inventory will enable your campaigns to deliver on your objectives.Algorithms: they are very important. With more time being spent on mobile devices, mobile shouldn’t be an after-thought. Lead with mobile in your campaign planning and make sure your partners are optimizing for mobile first.Full-service: you want dedicated resources to your account, someone that you can call, someone that is continually monitoring your campaign, that pulls together consolidated reporting and that is providing you with recommendations for improving campaign performance.DIY ApproachOrganizations taking programmatic buying in-house have made a significant investment – in both technology and their people. You are building strong relationships with your technology partners (DSPs). You have created in-house teams that know how to optimize results when buying programmatically. You have access to such a wealth of data that you want to be able use. Again, here are some things to consider when bringing programmatic buying in-house:Expertise: rely on your partners for expertise as you build out your team, and as an ongoing resource. We’ve run thousands of campaigns at Millennial. We can provide practical tips on setting-up and optimizing your campaign for peak performance.Reach and scale: here again, you want both quality and quantity. When looking at DSPs, who are they connected to? How many impressions can they access? When looking at exchanges, evaluate the inventory sources. Is it premium inventory? How much is mobile? What data is passed that can be targeted against?
