Digital Advertising

Digital advertising continues to evolve at a rapid pace, driven by technological advances, changing consumer behaviors, and shifting privacy regulations. We recently sat down with Jaysen Gillespie, Vice President of Global Product Commercialization at RTB House, to discuss IntentGPT, one of our most significant recent innovations. Gillespie has been instrumental in leading the development and commercial rollout of this technology, which represents a fundamental shift in how advertisers can understand and act on user intent across the web.

After your business has spent time and money on R&D, production, and getting your products into the store at the right price, the difference between success and failure is rooted in how effectively you can let the right customers know about your offers. Working with a retargeter is an essential part of this success, but working with a single ad partner is putting all your eggs in one basket. We’re looking at why working with multiple retargeters allows you to reach more people and drive better campaign performance and business results.

Sports are obsessed with precision measurements. Sprint times are measured to the hundredth of a second; Formula One lap times go down to the thousandth. In soccer, we now have stats for every player’s pass completion, goal contributions, distance run per game, and everything else imaginable. And it’s not just professionals. Amateur athletes and casual fitness enthusiasts track every kilometer they run, average times, altitude, and carbs burnt.

It makes sense that sports brands are leaning into the data that people generate. The first valuable source of data is online browsing information. However, sports brands are looking into ways to leverage other information that users are willing to share if they believe it will improve their performance.

It doesn’t matter how good your adverts are if you can’t find people who want to connect with your brand. Even iconic brands struggle to get seen in a sea of choices, and the key to success in modern marketing is finding the right audience through targeted advertising. This term is broad, so let’s take a look at what targeted advertising is, how it works, and how you can use it to make your advertising campaigns more effective.

The food and beverage industry has always been incredibly competitive. After all, food is important to all of us. It’s not just a necessary source of nutrients, protein, and fiber; it’s inextricably linked with culture, community, family, and friends. It brings comfort, togetherness, even bliss. It’s the way to our hearts.

But in recent years, the competition in food & beverage has reached a boiling point. There’s been a feeding frenzy as a horde of new players has entered the fray. Between any brand and a customer’s table lies a crowded, fiercely competitive marketplace. The advent of food apps and a growing consumer expectation of convenience has further heightened the competition. The latest digital technology provides unprecedented convenience for the consumer and a widening plethora of choices.

Programmatic advertising is the foundation of the modern marketing world. Advertisers from around the world are competing for advertising spots with bids that take under a second. This ecosystem is made up of thousands of moving pieces, and one of the most important are Supply Side Platform, or SSPs. While most readers will have heard the term, they may still ask: “What is an SSP?”
This is one of the questions which we’ll try to answer today.
