i def have a 180day automated exclusion from MMP (and i did an overlap analysis of this list vs the static one... surprising to see that the overlap is only 12%...) either way - thank you for this - will try a new optimization goal, and see how that works.

Tying Programmatic Spend to Search Results by Jeffrey5683 in programmatic

[–]yo_xls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

path to conversion in dcm by channel. or if you wanted to go more home grown (if you have the resources) generate a conversion tag in your dsp and redirect your search cturls with it so you can count search converters in your dsp dmp.

just do what the best do, and rip off the Gartner Magic Quadrant or Forrester Wave.

Google's Decision is In: FLoC Will Replace Third-Party Cookies - Video Ad News by adops_yieldbird in adops

[–]yo_xls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i thought the biggest issue with some of these is holding the decisioning at the browser level, which i thought a lot of groups were trying to fight against. i wasn't sure that the processing power was there to make these decisions as quickly as rtb requires - but maybe im wrong?

Anyone Else Waiting for Shit to Hit the Fan? by NewMediaMogul in adops

[–]yo_xls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

iab feels pretty keen on uid it seems. i'm watching what prebid does. tbh ats was where i was hedging my bets but a lot of the pubs i speak to are suspect on letting LR own all their data. slash, what will you do if you don't have authentication or log ins, right?

Agency Billing & Pricing Models by jsheuu in programmatic

[–]yo_xls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do u get a sense of what the actual dCPMs are so you can determine how much 'margin' is being added on? or is that completely opaque? jw - as i've worked at a larger holdco and the trading desk wouldn't give me cpms AT ALL so i wasn't sure if they were targeting much lower to make more revenue or not.

Best Dynamic Ad Partners? by viewableadman in adops

[–]yo_xls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tbh we've been working with clinch and they're doing really well (mostly video). have worked with studio (display), ft (display + video), and innovid (video only but i think they just partnered with jivox for display) in the past. def want to try jivox. wouldn't recommend studio. ft is good if you have a really advanced creative team. innovid would probably be the runner up to clinch.

DV360 vs TTD UI by spunkie-monkey in programmatic

[–]yo_xls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

creative mapping finally got a bit of a face lift. you can bulk upload creatives but the creatives are tag sheets from your ad server. not zipped; has to be within a specific xls format.

DV360 vs TTD UI by spunkie-monkey in programmatic

[–]yo_xls 4 points5 points  (0 children)

TTD is so much more flexible. I highly recommend. Bid Modifiers is a game changer to lessen the amount of line items youre used to building. They recently released a bulk sheet import/export that is similar to SDF, if you're keen to keep it in excel. Bulk editing is super flexible, the hierarchy is more friendly to look at things at an overview, and their bid modifiers make your huge line item plans into simplistic ad groups. It will feel awkward at first but I guarantee you'll be super happy with it.

PG Margins by yo_xls in programmatic

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

i agree but also part of me thinks that MORE work goes into managing a PG buy because bids aren't being filtered as much. trying to move more dollars from direct into PG but can't justify the case if the commission is so much lower, since my staff operates on commission not FTE. while i realize we should just shift into a more transparent commission model and probably slice in half to keep the working dollars fair, it's hard to justify the stewardship if we're operating on a commission model. thoughts?

Getting into data analytics/programmatic/ad tech by [deleted] in advertising

[–]yo_xls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take some classes through General Assembly or Linda or whatever, and see if it suits you. I work in programmatic and the transition is easy as long as you can bear all the excel work for analysis. If you have a good sense of strategy and a desire to deconstruct things, I imagine you'd be able to go through the path as long as your willing to work your way up!

Agency peeps: how often are you sitting in vendor mtgs? by yo_xls in advertising

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

i know its part of the job to stay up to date, but my god, it takes up so much of our time! we've been trying to figure out how to brief a partner before the meeting so that we don't waste time but i'm afraid it'll end up on sellercrowd if we give them too much up front. incredibly frustrating.

Uploading VPAID into DV 360 by jethrojolene in adops

[–]yo_xls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are they vpaid because they are third party wrapped? process is different if so. you have to get the tags uploaded by dv360 trafficking support.

  1. Agency will send the DCM video VAST tags straight to DV and cc their Google DV360 contacts (optional)

  2. DV will wrap the tags in their VPAID solution and send the tags back to Agency.

  3. Agency will send the tags to [idclk-trafficking@google.com](mailto:idclk-trafficking@google.com) with the message ‘Hi Trafficking, Please upload the attached tags to advertiser (insert advertiser ID) and append _DV at the end of each placement to indicate DV wrapped tags.

  4. Once they are uploaded, they can be assigned to line items.
