Growth of RTB Source: Interactive Advertising Bureau and Price Waterhouse Cooper (2012)
Controlled Execution
Hurdles to Direct Buys • Budget (Commitment) • Ad Server • Creative control, auditable stats, etc. • Negotiation Process (Pricing) • Management Complexity • Multiple direct buys get cumbersome
Benefits of RTB • More accessible (depending on DSP) • Efficiency • Workflow (programmatic) • Pricing • Targeting (impression level) • Reach (unparalleled)
Beyond AdWords • Extent of Reach • Targeting Options • Freshness of Data • Pricing Options • Accessibility
Targeting Tactics • Domain Level • Geography • Device and Browser • Contextual (e.g., pages related to “careers”) • Demographic (e.g., gender, age, education, …) • Retargeting (show ads to previous visitors) • Mobile (e.g., device type, carrier, app, GPS)
Domain Level Targeting * Example: careerbuilder.com, monster.com, etc.
Geographic Targeting * Geographically target your campaigns – Country, Region, or City
OS / Browser Targeting Target ads on specific operatingsystems, devices, and browsers
Contextual Targeting * Target only URLs (pages) that match your chosen contextual categories
Demographic Targeting * Target audiences based on demographic, psychographic, and behavioral data
Retargeting * Show ads across the web to your visitors
Why Retargeting? • Get a second chance to convert a visitor • Illusions of grandeur ($$$ budget) • Fantastic performance (ROI) • Build an asset by capturing visitor data • Up-sell and cross-sell to converted visitors • Leverage existing traffic sources!
Mobile Targeting Target mobile devices by Operating System, Device, and Carrier
Ultimate Benefits of RTB • Highly-targeted online display ads • Layer multiple target criteria • Vastly more efficient ad spend • Only buy the impressions you want • Fully transparent statistical data (many levels) • 1st and 3rd party data integration (targeting) • Access to 13 major exchanges (15B imps/day)
Getting Started – Next Steps • Think about your target audience • Prep for demographic/contextual campaigns • Place retargeting code on websites • Leverage existing traffic sources + build data • Prepare banners ads for testing • Variety is the key • Test on AdWords using CPC to reduce risk
