Axel Springer首席执行官如何为第三方Cookie毁灭做准备？

The end of the third-party cookie won’t happen for nearly a year, but thanks to GDPR, Axel Springer was prepared for the shift: the publisher hasn’t used third-party data in the ad campaigns it sells since the end of 2018.

Instead, it’s shored up its technology, working to create scalable first-party data.

The German news giant has created meaning out of what its audiences read, so green-leaning automakers can reach people who have shown an interest in environmental issues, and beer companies can reach sports fans.

“Publishers like us really have competitive advantages against those walled gardens,” said Axel Springer All Media Chief Executive Officer Carsten Schwecke.

To create these types of segments for advertisers to reach, it works with 1plusx, a data-management platform to categorize audiences and extrapolate who might be reading a page.

This tech boosted reach by 18%, said Axel Springer Chief Digital Officer Carsten Schwecke. Plus, this categorization let Axel Springer nearly double its CPMs.

麦格纳：预计2021年美国广告支出将同比增长6.4％至2400亿美元

Magna’s US ad spend forecast released Wednesday paints an optimistic picture for the ad industry, following the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The IPG agency said that a quicker than anticipated economic recovery, supported by a new stimulus package, a decline in COVID rates and return to normal sporting events, will boost ad spending this year. Revenues are expected to increase 6.4% YoY to $240 billion. Digital will capture two thirds, or 67%, of total advertising sales.

The growth rate for ad spend could be as high as 8.6% when excluding the impact of the 2020 US election and the Olympics.

Magna expects most industries to ramp up spend, with travel, automotive, drinks and movies likely to see the biggest increases following heavy cuts in 2020.

The report’s author, Vincent Letang, Magna’s EVP of global market intelligence, told AdExchanger that no industry was hit harder by the pandemic than the travel industry, which is forecasted to increase its media spend by more than 20% this year as most Americans are expected to be vaccinated by the summer.

利用数据与消费者更紧密联系的四种方式

Identify the most lucrative buyers

SSPs can share data about buyers, including the names of advertisers bidding on a publisher’s inventory, the channels they’re buying through (open exchanges, private marketplaces, programmatic guaranteed for example), how much and how often they bid, their win rate (or loss rate) and overall spend.

Unearth the most valuable supply

With data from their demand partners, publishers can detect trends in spend and bid activity. Then, they can inform pricing and yield decisions. For example, looking at bid density, or the number of buyers competing for a given impression, helps publishers understand which supply or users are most valuable to buyers.

Make the most desirable supply scarce

By making private marketplaces the only source of highly prized inventory for certain buyers, publishers can build direct bridges to advertiser and agency partners while increasing campaign performance.

Become a test partner

With the imminent deprecation of the third-party cookie high on everyone’s priority list, now is a good time for publishers - who have the most intimate relationship with end users - to actively work with top buying partners to test new approaches for campaign targeting, audience packaging, measurement, and attribution.

These new approaches may take many forms: building bespoke content taxonomies to enable greater targeting granularity; testing the various identity initiatives to understand which ones work best for different campaigns or advertising goals; or even arranging first-party to first-party audience matches through data clean rooms to maintain post-cookie addressability.

即将到来的Cookie更改将迫使一些小型发布商完全放弃广告

This article is part of the Digiday Privacy Preview, a digital issue of stories examining what the coming changes to Chrome and iOS will do to the worlds of media and marketing. Read the rest of that coverage here.

More than $10 billion worth of digital ad revenue rides on the media industry’s ability to figure out how to function without third-party cookies. But many of the industry’s smallest publishers are taking a passive, even defeatist approach to pursuing that money. 

A full half of small publishers plan to rely more on non-advertising sources of revenue when third-party cookies are phased out at the end of 2021, according to a survey Digiday conducted in the first quarter of 2021. Digiday asked 114 publishing professionals how their organizations were responding to the changes Google is making to the digital ad ecosystem.  

That’s compared to about 30% of publishers that generate more than $50 million in annual revenue and a similar percentage of publishers that generate between $10 million and $50 million in annual revenue.
