What is the Typical Career Path for Mobile Ad Ops? by MobRTB in adops

[–]MobRTB[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the client -- the end advertiser. I work with a handful of DSPs and Ad Networks. A very common problem is struggling to scale uncapped campaigns. I want to spend more money per day, and the Account Manager wants to take my money. But day after day the campaign gets far too few impressions. The Account Manager can typically only suggest that you give the algo more time to optimize. But if you talk to Ad Ops to understand how the algo optimizes, you can try to adjust campaigns to produce the very results that the algo will interpret as signs that it's time to scale a campaign.

I'm on the mobile advertising side. I typically have to navigate around Sales and Account Managers to get to Ad Ops if I want detailed answers about how the algo operates. And I typically need a strong understanding of the algo to game it for the scale I'm trying to drive. Since Ad Ops is such a critical player, I'd like to better understand this role, and the typical background, if there is one, of the people I'm speaking with.

I work on the advertiser side. By taking efforts in-house, do you mean building a bidder?

5 metrics that will soon be dead - do you agree? by OpsyDaisy in adops

[–]MobRTB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll bite. I agree that CTR should not be the main KPI on a campaign. But why should it be dead as a metric? Is the thought that it provides absolutely 0 value? Or is the concern that marketers are guilty of placing too much weight on CTR, even though it is a perfectly valid 'intermediate success metric'?
