174. Curation & SPO: Simplifying Programmatic with Bob Regular at Infolinks
In this episode, we sit down with Bob Regular, CEO of Infolinks, to explore the evolving world of programmatic advertising and the rising importance of curation. Bob walks us through his journey in digital media—from the dial-up days to today’s complex ad tech ecosystem—offering valuable insights along the way. We dive into how Supply Path Optimization (SPO) is playing a critical role in improving the connection between advertisers and publishers by enhancing media quality and eliminating unnecessary middlemen. Using the analogy of choosing the best billboard location, Bob explains how digital ad placement is just as strategic, with audience targeting and creative messaging being essential for success. We also touch on the often-overlooked challenges of inconsistent naming conventions and unclear attention metrics, and how curation and SPO can help simplify and improve the overall advertising experience. The conversation wraps up with a closer look at the differences between direct and reseller relationships in ad tech, and how SPO is shifting industry priorities. Bob shares key takeaways from recent training sessions with media holding companies, including the major reduction in non-value-adding players since the adoption of ads.txt. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of digital advertising and how we can build stronger, more transparent partnerships in the ecosystem.

168. Why Your programmatic Media Plan is Failing: Awareness vs. Conversion Mistakes
In this episode, we talk about the big mistake many brands make when planning and measuring their ads. Our guest, Chelsey, explains why you can’t measure awareness, consideration, and conversions the same way. She breaks it down simply: Awareness ads should be measured by how many people see them (reach, impressions, CPMs). Conversion ads should be measured by results (sales, revenue, ROAS). Chelsey also talks about how brands can estimate the impact of awareness ads on conversions using smart data models. Plus, she shares tools like GA4 and media mix modeling (MMM) that help brands understand which ads are working best. Tune in to learn how to fix your media planning and get better results from your campaigns! 📅 Date: Thursday, March 27th 2025 ⏰ Time: 9 AM PST/ 12 PM ET / 5 PM GMT / 10:30PM IST 💻 Zoom Webinar – Live & Recorded Join Below: Biggest Mistake In Programmatic Media Plan: The most significant mistake in media planning is applying the same KPIs (especially ROAS) across the entire funnel. Many companies allocate most of their budget to conversion-driving tactics (e.g., search), neglecting awareness efforts. This short-sighted approach provides immediate revenue but limits long-term brand growth by failing to acquire new customers. A well-structured media plan should balance awareness and conversion tactics with proper measurement frameworks tailored to each stage of the funnel.

161. Day 2️⃣: Optimize Frequency Caps #programmaticadvertising
12/19/2024
161. Day 2️⃣: Optimize Frequency Caps #programmaticadvertising
If I had 8 days to prep my programmatic campaigns before 🎄, here’s what I would do daily, in 150 words or less: Frequency caps determine how often your ads are shown to the same user. Too high, and you risk ad fatigue or wasted impressions; too low, and you might miss opportunities to engage a receptive audience. Analyze performance data to see how current caps impact goals, KPIs, and conversions. This means to pull your report in that sexy excel format and look at the average and even layer in recency if applicable. For branding campaigns, aim for consistent visibility, while for performance campaigns, focus on striking a balance between engagement and cost-efficiency. Adjust caps for each line item or placement as needed. This is particularly important when you’re running different tactics such as contextual vs. behavioral, lookalike vs. retargeting, etc. Remember that a more conservative frequency cap can allow for more unique impressions. P.S.: Did you sign up for our January workshop yet?

160. Day 1️⃣: Audit/QA All Active Programmatic Campaigns in Your DSP(s)
12/19/2024
160. Day 1️⃣: Audit/QA All Active Programmatic Campaigns in Your DSP(s)
If I had 8 days to prep my programmatic campaigns before 🎄, here’s what I would do daily, in 150 words or less: Day 1️⃣: Audit/QA Active Campaigns Begin by thoroughly auditing/QAing all active campaigns in your DSP. Check goals like pacing, budget utilization, and KPIs such as CTR, conversion rates. Ensure that campaigns are on track to meet their goals. Identify underperforming line items—these could be due to low bid competitiveness, poor targeting, or weak creative performance. Likewise, pinpoint top-performing placements or segments and consider scaling them. Review any discrepancies between planned and actual delivery to ensure alignment. Take note of issues like overspending, under-delivery, or unintentional restrictions from pre-bid filters or targeting settings. This step lays the foundation for optimizing and reallocating resources effectively. P.S.: Did you sign up for our January workshop yet? Bit.ly/jan25workshop
