Key takeaways

Kim Sicko Skovgaards

Adtech & Operations Team Lead

"One area where we've unexpectedly benefitted is through centralized reporting.
‍
By standardizing reporting across various SSPs, we avoid the problem of scattered data that is difficult to analyze. This has been a huge win for us, allowing us to cross-reference data and identify potential opportunities in areas like bitrates, advertisers, and timeouts.
‍
We prioritize transparency in reporting, measurement, and product, which helps us make a strong case in situations where someone challenges the accuracy of our product measurements. We don't make exceptions when it comes to centralizing reporting, which we consider the key to our RevOps success."

Victoria Thyland

"I believe that the trend in the industry is moving away from constantly expanding tech teams. With so many technologies available, it's more about having the right people and implementing the right tools to support their work.

By utilizing these technologies, we can streamline processes, improve efficiency, and reduce the need for additional personnel. So, it's not about hiring more people, but about having the right team and resources in place to achieve our goals."

Susanne Sperling

"The New York Times and Washington Post are really impressing me with their innovative use of technology. They're focusing on contextual targeting, which is key because targeting is about emotions. They're testing different things like asking people to rate their stories based on their emotions, which helps them place different ads that are more relevant to their readers. For example, a commercial for a watch might work really well if someone feels sad. It's all about experimenting and seeing what works rather than just assuming that a certain ad will be effective in a certain place. The data they've collected shows that this approach is effective. I find this kind of contextual targeting really interesting.

Overall, though, I think the ad space is becoming oversaturated with ads that aren't very innovative or creative. It feels like we're just adding more and more ads without really thinking about how to make them more engaging for consumers. Some publishers are doing really amazing things, but others are just trying to survive."
