Host Kate unpacks the details, implications, and what these shifts mean for advertisers, creators, and platforms heading into 2025. 5 Key Highlights: TikTok's U.S. operations are set to spin into a new company with majority American ownership (80%), including Oracle, Andreessen Horowitz, and Silver Lake, while ByteDance retains 20%. A new TikTok U.S. app is reportedly in testing, requiring users to migrate accounts, raising concerns about logins, content transfers, and algorithm performance. Rembrandt acquired Spaceback, adding scale with 3,000+ advertisers and expanding its AI-driven creative offerings to blend product placements with organic content. The merger reflects broader industry trends: AI-driven “intelligent creative,” creative functions shifting into buying platforms, and the blending of context with content. Index Exchange and Grace Note launched the first integration enabling show-level targeting and reporting in CTV, addressing long-standing transparency challenges for advertisers.

Angelina shares her deep expertise in helping reduce friction across the ad tech ecosystem and establishing industry best practices through IAB's Measurement, Addressability, and Data Center. She breaks down the misconceptions around last-touch attribution, the importance of assisted attribution, and how weighting ad formats can better reflect their role in the funnel. We also explore the challenges and opportunities in publisher–buyer collaboration, the adoption of conversion API standards, and why standard taxonomies are critical for interoperability. Angelina offers practical steps for media buyers and publishers looking to elevate transparency, data harmonization, and campaign effectiveness. The conversation also dives into the future of attention metrics, how they're being defined and measured, and whether they can become a standard KPI. Finally, Angelina shares her thoughts on how AI is reshaping the ad tech stack—from operations to optimization—while emphasizing the need for compliance, minimizing bias, and balancing human oversight. Plus, we get to know Angelina beyond her work, including her love for the outdoors, salsa dancing, and family life.

In this episode of the Ad TechGod Pod, host AdTechGod speaks with Sharon Taylor, Chief Revenue Officer at Triton Digital, about podcasting and audio advertising. They discuss Sharon's journey into the audio space, the growth and trends of podcasting in different regions, and the role of Triton in monetizing podcasts. The conversation also touches on the challenges of attribution and measurement in audio advertising, the importance of understanding podcast metrics, and the cultural shifts driving the appeal of podcasting among younger audiences. Sharon emphasizes the intimate nature of podcasting and its potential for advertisers to engage with a captive audience. Takeaways Podcasting is an intimate medium that engages listeners deeply. The growth of podcasting varies by region, with the US leading. Canada's podcasting market is growing but is more collaborative than competitive. The barrier to entry for podcasting is low, allowing diverse voices. Video is becoming increasingly important in the podcasting space. Triton Digital supports both large publishers and independent podcasters. Programmatic advertising in podcasting is still developing. Attribution and measurement in audio advertising are complex but improving. Podcasters should provide multiple metrics to advertisers for clarity. Podcasting offers a calming alternative to the noise of social media. Chapters 00:00 Introduction to the Audio Space 01:38 Sharon's Journey in Audio 03:39 Podcasting Trends in Different Regions 05:26 The Growth of Podcasting 08:15 Maturity and Future of Podcasting 10:05 Triton's Role in Podcast Monetization 12:03 Evolution of Programmatic Advertising in Podcasting 14:45 Attribution and Measurement in Audio Advertising 17:30 Understanding Podcast Metrics 21:02 Cultural Shifts and Podcasting's Appeal 23:59 The Therapeutic Nature of Podcasting Pause Ads, AI Browsers, and Programmatic Transparency: This Week in Advertising The Refresh News: September 2: Pause Ads, AI Browsers, and Programmatic Transparency: This Week in Advertising In this episode of The Refresh, Kait covers three big developments in advertising and adtech. Magnite is rolling out pause ads programmatically across major streaming providers, Anthropic has launched a cautious pilot of its AI-powered Chrome extension Claude, and the ANA has released its Q2 2025 Programmatic Transparency Benchmark report, highlighting both progress and persistent challenges in ad spend efficiency. 5 Key Highlights: Magnite is enabling programmatic buying of pause ads across platforms like DirecTV, Dish, and Fubo, with access through Clearline and DSPs such as Curve AI, Mountain, and Yahoo. Pause ads are proving popular with both advertisers and consumers, with studies showing over 50% of viewers take action after seeing one. Concerns remain that programmatic scale could dilute the contextual creativity that makes pause ads engaging. Anthropic is piloting a Chrome extension for its Claude AI, focused on browsing assistance while implementing strong safeguards against risks like prompt injection attacks. The ANA's Q2 2025 report shows programmatic waste rising to $26.8B, but also notes improvements: private marketplace deals now represent 88% of transactions, CTV programmatic spend has increased, and MFA spending has dropped sharply to 0.8%.

Google Search Console SEO: Business Growth and SEO Strategies: Unlocking AI Solutions with SEO Expert, ⁠⁠Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS⁠⁠⁠⁠.This Clubhouse audio captures a dynamic online discussion about digital marketing strategies and business growth, primarily focusing on Google Search Console trends. The speakers, including the host and "Doctor Fashion" share personal triumphs, such as property acquisitions and brand partnerships, illustrating the tangible benefits of consistent effort and community building. Key topics explored include leveraging AI for content creation, the importance of analyzing search data to drive traffic and monetization, and the critical role of maintaining an updated online presence. The conversation also touches upon podcast sponsorships, email marketing, and the overall significance of professional branding in today's digital landscape.FAQs about Google Search Console (GSC SEO)1. What is the significance of Google Search Console search trends for businesses?Google Search Console search trends are crucial for businesses because they provide real-time insights into what content is trending up or down. This tool, now a full feature after moving from its beta phase (Search Console Insights beta), allows businesses to analyze search volumes and content performance over specific periods (e.g., period over period, like this time last year vs. now). By understanding these trends, businesses can tailor their content creation to match seasonal interests and high-demand topics, ensuring their content remains relevant and discoverable.2. What are the essential aspects of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and website structure for long-term online presence?Effective SEO and website structure are critical for long-term online presence. This involves using Google Search Console to mine data for intellectual property, tracking tools, ranking words, and key phrases that drive transactions. Content should be structured to target high CPC (cost per click) keywords, ensuring that blogs and landing pages are optimized for search engine visibility and lead to checkout pages. Additionally, it's crucial to understand the lifespan of content; blogs, for example, have a lifespan of about 24 months. Failure to update links and content within this period can lead to deletion from Google's index, highlighting the need for continuous content refreshment and relevance.3. What are the key monetization strategies for content creators, particularly in podcasting?For podcasts, this often involves "host-read ads" and "programmatic ads." Host-read ads are directly integrated into the episode by the host and can be placed as "pre-rolls" (before the episode), "mid-rolls" (during the episode), or "post-rolls" (after the episode). Programmatic ads involve inserting ad slots that brands can bid on, leading to scheduled payouts based on impressions or engagement. Building analytics and systems that allow for both organic and programmatic monetization, as seen with Amazon brand partnerships, is key to generating consistent revenue.Digital Marketing Resources:>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our exclusive SEO Marketing community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Latest blogs on SEO optimization and Online Marketing⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book your Complimentary SEO Discovery Call⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book Paid Marketing Consultation Call⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to We Don't PLAY Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Brands We Love and Support⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Loving Me Beauty | Buy Vegan-based Luxury Products⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Unlock your future in real estate—get certified in Ghana today!⁠
