We just launched Outcomes, the first fully autonomous ad product for the open internet. This innovation is made possible because of our new AI Lattice Brain. The soundtrack is live and it’s 🔥🔥🔥 youtu.be/5wGvLm5T3fo?si=kYkQ…

What could go wrong with a free DSP??? Textbook move. I didn’t expect them to pull the switch-a-roo this quick 🤔

If you see us at an industry event, Silver Bullets on us!!!! 🍻 🍻 🍻 We attract clients who want an “insider” that only works for them. Match rates vs Findability. Direct to Publisher vs more fees. Actually reaching humans vs believing audience quality was solved years ago. Targeting websites and apps vs owning content intelligence. Incremental sales vs showing ads to people who already buy your product. Innovation toward autonomy vs endless buttons and lever pulling. Many brands aren’t there yet but there are just as many who now want a partner to defend their interests. This one is personal. We only work for our clients and we’re obsessed with driving real results for their business.

Watched live college baseball this weekend. Saw 15 Lincoln Navigator ads (Serena) and 15 Hertz ads (Brady) in one game. Meanwhile, mid-market brands like Johnsonville, Subaru, CA Lottery, and CA Community Colleges showed up with controlled frequency. Why? Big brands are still lifting-and-shifting linear to CTV without a DSP, no frequency control. Mid-market is not tied up in upfronts and are using DSPs to manage R&F. The waste (and consumer fatigue) from Lincoln and Hertz is staggering and blows my mind that brands are still committing these obvious errors. This is exactly why DSPs matter in live sports.

Depends on the angle. But I’m just looking at the inefficiency of sell side managed ad spend vs DSP managed. Managing frequency is a core tenet of advertising performance. The smaller the advertiser, the more sensitive they are to performance which is why they gravitate to platforms.

Microsoft-Xander🔥 takes The Mag 7 see what’s coming. The age of unchecked platform monopolies is ending. Bout time! Microsoft shut down Xandr to dodge DOJ scrutiny, not because of their product vision per se. Owning a DSP while controlling massive O&O data/content assets is a red flag in today’s antitrust climate. They are still going to make their play and they have great assets but they still need a better content asset to be taken seriously...Tik-Tok? Xandr was a tech liability. Changed hands multiple times, lost the founding team, probably drowning in tech debt. Hard to innovate with this backdrop. This was a preemptive move. The Mag 7 are watching Google’s trials closely and don’t want to be next…that’s why all of these CEO’s are suddenly trying to be friendly with the President. Must be surreal for Microsoft to have watched Google capitalize on their former anti-trust plight while Google swooped up digital only to see it all come full circle. This administration wants a healthier digital economy. 7 trillion-dollar monopolies doesn't seem as good as thousands of billion-dollar innovators. I'm way long us but we have work to do!
