LiSTNR Adtech Hub pushes digital audio network to break even a year early as agencies, brands pile-in; new APIs, ANZ spend data, retargeting and Scope3 CO2 mapping next

SCA in March launched three big tech bets for its LiSTNR master app – a customer data platform (CDP), customer-specific data matching clean rooms and dynamic creative optimisation. The bets are paying off and SCA is no longer reliant on third party data sources. Execs say the platform and its 2.1m logged-in users already command over 40 per cent of all digital audio ad dollars, helping SCA's $50m investment reach breakeven a year ahead of schedule. LiSTNR is now moving into the next phase of audience matching, granular targeting and attribution via its own first party data and ANZ spend data. Its first API-connection based on fuel price changes went so well – landing multiple briefs within weeks – that LiSTNR's launching 20 more across five categories including finance, property, travel, weather and utilities. “Whatever the agency or brands want to work on, we're able to activate those APIs quite quickly,” per LiSTNR commercial boss Oliver Newton. It's also launching ‘mood targeting', i.e. contextual ads for brands based on what audiences are listening to, as well as audio retargeting. Next year LiSTNR will also be able to tell brands the carbon impact of their campaigns across SCA's assets thanks to a partnership with emissions mapping platform, Scope3. Newton reckons CO2 measurement credentials will be table stakes as advertisers move into negotiation mode for 2025 – especially for larger firms newly mandated to report emissions data, of which advertising and marketing is an eye-wateringly large chunk. The advertiser adoption curve is steepening. In June, 20 per cent of LiSTNR campaigns made use of the Adtech Hub. By September that had jumped to 33 per cent. Next year LiSTNR aims for 45-50 per cent, according to head of SCAiQ Abi Wallis. She says brands are buying-in because they can target people based on where they are, what they are doing, and which brands they are buying. They can suppress existing customers and target only new potential customers based on their listening and spending habits, or likewise upsell and cross-sell to their existing customers, with sharper smarts and context, tailored dynamic creative, and with the spend and audience data enabling “a real world view of the impact” and ROI. LiSTNR's new capabilities put it on a par with the big tech platforms, per Wallis and Newton, if not beyond – and the opportunity to harness the Adtech Hub is not limited to big brands. “Agency or direct … It's there to be utilised by anyone looking to access digital audio,” says Newton.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Data is one of the most critical, and underused, tools for combating climate change – the more information we have about our impact, the better decisions we can make towards managing it. Lauren Dunford, co-founder of revolutionary startup Guidewheel, is on a mission to place that tool in the hands of manufacturers, offering a unique, data-driven system for monitoring factory operations, reducing energy costs, and improving efficiency.CEO Lauren launched the startup in 2018 with co-founder and current CTO Weston McBride, leading Guidewheel's development of its core product, the FactoryOps platform, a system they describe as “Fitbit for Factories.” With funding from major ESG players like Breakthrough Energy Ventures and the Decarbonization Partners fund, and brand name customers like Coca-Cola FEMSA and Igloo, Guidewheel's cutting-edge approach to sustainable manufacturing operations is turning heads across the industry. Lauren received a degree in Sustainability in Global Environment and Health at Stanford, where she also co-founded the Stanford Green Fund and ran the Students for a Sustainable Stanford program. After completing a Fulbright scholarship studying supply chain in India, Lauren worked her way up to chief of staff at the B-Corp Revolution Foods, where she saw firsthand just how impactful data could be for operational efficiency and sustainability, developing the idea for what would soon become Guidewheel.Hear Lauren discuss her passion for studying environmental impact, why better data can help industries cut costs and bolster sustainability, and how the practical approach of picking low-hanging fruit could make a significant impact in the long run.

Internet ads – you probably see hundreds, maybe thousands a day without thinking about them. But it turns out the process for serving those ads involves a highly complex digital supply chain that generates 7.2 million tons of carbon emissions annually. That's why ad-tech veteran Anne Coghlan is on a mission to decarbonize media and advertising with Scope3. A lifelong lover of logic and problem-solving, Anne earned her Master's at University College London in the Philosophy of Mathematics, later joining digital advertising company AppNexus in 2015. There she met future Scope3 co-founder Brian O'Kelley and helped to develop many of the technologies that underpin digital ad delivery today. When Anne left the ad industry to join supply chain tech company Waybridge, she began to notice that a lack of consideration for sustainability and energy consumption existed across both industries. So, in 2021, she reunited with O'Kelley and other AppNexus alumni to found Scope3, a public benefit corporation aiming to decarbonize advertising and media by better measuring the carbon emitted from digital display and video ads. In 2023, Anne made AdAge's 40 under 40 list and secured the #2 most influential person in performance media on PMW's Power 100 List, but the COO of Scope3 is just getting started. Hear Anne Coghlan share how her love for math ultimately led to co-founding a startup, why online ads only scratch the surface of Scope3's potential use cases, and what the future holds for decarbonized digital media.Episode Highlights00:00 Anne Coghlan on decarbonizing digital supply chains 00:53 Conor Gaughan introduces Anne Coghlan and Scope305:08 The beauty of math, interest in music, and academic pursuits 16:10 Studies to consulting, joining AppNexus, and Waybridge 21:27 Launching Scope3, how it works, and the media industry's footprint34:14 Problem solving with math, maximizing impact, and open sourcing tech45:01 What's next, remaining optimistic, and the future of sustainable ads49:39 Where to learn more51:32 End creditsIf you liked this episode, listen next to Allison Wolff of Vibrant Planet on Beneficial Fire, Sustainable Software, and Nature-Based Climate SolutionsMore on Scope3 and Anne Coghlan:scope3.com linkedin.com/company/scope3data linkedin.com/in/annecoghlan Connect with Conor Gaughan on linkedin.com/in/ckgone and threads.net/@ckgone Have questions, or a great idea for a potential guest?

This week on the ESG Insider podcast, we're talking to one of the world's largest banks about the landscape for climate disclosure rules and standards.  We sit down with Citigroup Chief Sustainability Officer Val Smith. She talks about how Citi is approaching the energy transition with clients; how investor expectations around climate disclosure are changing; and the challenges of climate data.     As a global bank with roughly $2.4 trillion in assets and operations on the ground in 95 countries, Citi works across many different sectors of the economy. The companies it lends to have different kinds of environmental impacts, including greenhouse gas emissions. For a bank, those financed emissions are Scope 3 emissions.     In the episode, Val explains Citi's net-zero goals and how the bank is approaching Scope 3 emissions in light of evolving climate disclosure regulations and standards. She says this changing landscape has made more collaboration necessary among different teams at the company — from sustainability to finance to legal.   "In the mandatory disclosure space it's like exam week every week," Val says. “It's an incredibly active moving space with a lot of expectations, and it really does require that top-of-the-house, front-of-the-office collaboration between lots of different teams with different cultures to be able to execute and meet the expectations."     Listen to last week's episode, featuring all our interviews from the ESG Insider Live event: https://www.spglobal.com/esg/podcasts/live-what-to-expect-from-the-evolving-climate-disclosure-landscape   Hear more of our interviews about how financial institutions are approaching Scope 3 emissions: https://www.spglobal.com/esg/podcasts/why-bank-of-america-says-scope-3-emissions-biggest-challenge-for-banks   https://www.spglobal.com/esg/podcasts/how-financial-institutions-are-tackling-scope-3-financed-emissions   Read research from S&P Global Sustainable1 on Scope 3 financed emissions here: https://www.spglobal.com/esg/insights/financed-emissions-are-missing-from-many-firms-net-zero-plans      This piece was published by S&P Global Sustainable1, a part of S&P Global.     Copyright ©2023 by S&P Global    DISCLAIMER    By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that S&P GLOBAL makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation as to the accuracy or sufficiency of the information featured in this Podcast.

That's led to him being labelled “the godfather of ad tech”.His new project is Scope3, which measures the impact of advertising and media on the environment.In the interview with Unmade's Tim Burrowes and Seja Al Zaidi, O'Kelley discusses the high impact that digital advertising has on emissions output, thanks to the energy needs of server farms, along with the wastage created by unviewed ads.“This illusion that the cloud is this fluffy place in the air is actually not accurate. The cloud is a bunch of big warehouses full of servers that use a huge amount of energy and cooling power,” he says.And he rails against adland's assumption that advertising campaigns inevitably include wastage where the target consumers are not being reached.“I actually think that the ‘50% of advertising is wasted' statement is one of the most damaging statements in the history of advertising,” he says. “It's become is an excuse not to worry about waste.“We have so much more control over our advertising and where it goes, especially in digital, but increasingly in print and other channels, we are able to be more thoughtful about how we target our ads.”Scope3 plans to expand across APAC under the leadership of local managing director June Cheung.In the conversation, O'Kelley acknowledges that some of the promise of programtic has been unfulfilled: “Where we are today in the development of programmatic, it's not doing what I aspired for it to do. It's caused privacy issues, it's caused national security issues. It's caused commoditisation of quality content. There's a lot of things that aren't great.”Audio production was courtesy of Abe's Audio, the people to talk to about voiceovers, sound design and podcast production.Message us: letters@unmade.media This is a public episode.

From Cannes: Why emissions need to be taken seriously today, not tomorrow

The final episode of the Digiday podcast at Cannes centered around a topic which everyone on the planet — but especially the digital marketing ecosystem — should be thinking and doing something on: sustainability and carbon emissions reduction. Recording once again from Spotify's podcast studio along the beach of the Croisette, Anne Coghlan, co-founder and COO of Scope3, explained not only all three "scopes" of emissions that companies must assess (and most have a handle on scopes 1 and 2), but outlined some steps that can be taken to reduce their scope 3 emissions. And those publishers that do not make serious attempts to mitigate their impact on the environment could see the business they hope to attract get reduced over time. The fact is, digital advertising is still reckoning with the fact that it's not only wasteful from an inventory point of view, but its massive need for energy to run itself is larger than many realized. And that will only get worse when — no longer if — generative AI gets adopted as quickly as Cannes conversations imply. "There is this need to be skeptical and ask the right questions here, and be thoughtful about making sure that sustainability is brought into businesses decisions," Coghlan told Digiday, "and it's not a separate column at the side that has a checkbox at the end." And that wraps up the Digiday at Cannes podcasts. If you missed any of the first four, they include conversations with S4 Capital's Sir Martin Sorrell/HP's Tara Agen, Zambezi's Jean Freeman and Grace Teng, PMG's George Popstefanov, and programmatic analyst Tom Triscari.

"Just to put this in perspective, one million impressions from an ad campaign wil generated on metric ton of CO2. One impression will generate on gram of CO2." Gupta said: "Adtech's always had a hidden sustainability issue and it's only now it's coming to the fore. If you think about how complex ad serving is, the way our industry is structured today is incredibly inefficient. Things are changing though and people are educating themselves about the problem."Ths discussion covers ways everyone in the industry can make changes to their own business to become more efficient and the first steps that can be made to make a real difference, the impact of SPO and DPO, and the importance of standardisation in measurement and currencies.

The UN climate conference known as COP27 is underway, and today (Nov. 11) is Decarbonization Day. In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast, we explore how companies are setting decarbonization targets in their operations and across their supply chains.     To understand how companies are engaging with suppliers, we talk with Simon Fischweicher, who is Head of Corporations and Supply Chains for CDP North America. CDP is a nonprofit environmental disclosure platform that has a program aimed at helping companies gather concrete details from suppliers about their emissions and other climate-related activities.  Simon tells us that companies are increasingly collaborating on their approach to suppliers. "When you have a single customer voice asking for better climate disclosure or more investment in renewable energy or setting emission reduction targets for a specific supplier, that voice might not be loud enough to drive change," he says. But when the entire sector is pushing for better practices, "that supplier may listen."

The Resale Edit: What Brands Should Consider When Building A Resale ProgramThe only place to start this week is the Charnard's decision to give 100% of Patagonia to a trust and holding company charged with manifesting Patagonia's mission: to save our home planet. There are few leaders that live their values with the willingness to discard and invent new structures for the times–Patagnoia's IronClad Guarantee, 1% for the planet, the Footprint Chronicles, Benefit Corporation, “Don't Buy This Jacket” and of course Worn Wear. Consistent with the past 50 years, Yvon and Patagonia are still willing to do so, with this recent move. Leadership can be elusive but we certainly know it when we see it. Thank you, Yvon, Milinda, Ryan, and the Patagonia team for continuing to lead.As NYFW wrapped up last week and climate week kicked off this week, Fortune points out the disagreeable truth that climate goals and big fashion business models simply do not align. Although brands and retailers are taking steps to be more sustainable, there is still a disconnect on how many goods a company can make to reach environmental goals. We are not going to address this within our current linear model. And it's one of the reasons so many fashion brands are launching resale programs. But with all these new programs how can one distinguish between business innovation and marketing? One way is to look at the business model behind the effort. Innovative business models are set up to be profit centers for the business, they address core activities such as buying and selling pre-owned items. Marketing programs have an ROI that drives traffic but are not set up to become core for the business. Saks Off 5th, who expanded their resale efforts this week with LXR and Reflaunt is aiming to make money by buying and selling pre-loved items. This is business model innovation given the ability to scale a profit center. Whereas UK fashion provider, Joules, who also announced a resale program is essentially awarding gift cards to get you back in the store, more akin to smart marketing. Marketing efforts can evolve into business innovation, but approaching resale as a business innovation certainly improves the odds of capturing the customer shift underway.Saks Off 5th initially partnered with LXR back in 2020 selling pre-owned handbags in-store. Their program has now expanded with Rent the Runway and Reflaunt to offer roughly 1,000 items online. Many of the resold items are not typically sold via the Off 5th banner including Hermes, Fendi, Prada, and Tom Ford. This makes sense for a discount retailer who can now buy back and resell higher-end pieces to their value-oriented customer base. This is a business that has the potential to continue to grow, not a marketing program.We will see more of these programs across value-oriented retailers such as Walmart, Target, JCP, and Macy's as they find new ways to attract and maintain value-oriented customers. As a not-so-small footnote, brands should beware these programs have significant brand risk in the new supply, discounting and merchandising of branded items outside the brand's purview. As compared to traditional wholesale relationships where brands share in revenue, these programs both buy from and sell to customers, bypassing the brands altogether.@James Reinhart wrote a fantastic article in Fast Company comparing fast fashion to big tobacco. James' points included the social pressures of the newest look and price point with cigarettes in the media and affordability at the time. It's possible there will be class action lawsuits or the government will regulate fast fashion but even if this does occur it won't be soon. For now, this article serves more as a billboard highlighting the need for new business models as fashion considers the sustainability implications of the industry.WWD covered lululemon's annual sustainability reporting which highlighted the challenges of our current commerce model from a CO2 perspective. Lulu shared an 82% absolute reduction, ahead of plan on direct emissions (scope 1 and 2) while indirect emissions (scope 3) increased 4%. Given lululemons growth, 4% would still be commendable by some and it also highlights the innovation needed from new business models such as lululemon's Like New. Other brands were in the news for sustainability press releases including Puma's new recycled shoe, others implementing ‘more sustainable' logistics and packing materials, and Macy's circularity program. While these make good marketing, many of these efforts, such as the process of producing a shoe from recycled content, is not addressing the systemic problem a growing fashion CO2 footprint–an exception may be Macy's move to digital samples which can scale and does address core operations. Saks Off 5th and lululemon's Like New program are examples of business innovation that can ultimately scale where business growth isn't directly tied to growing CO2 emissions.The So WhatFashion brands who are serious about climate goals will need to innovate profitable circular models. If your resale program doesn't make money buying and reselling pre-owned items, question if it's really just a marketing program and won't address your innovation agenda.Premium and luxury brands get ready for a very different retail landscape where more of your products are repurchased and resold in channels and stores you would disapprove of, bypassing you entirely. In order to control your brand, you will need ways to track and control your items beyond the first sale, owning the resale channel for your items.Week of September 23:Saks Off 5th on Resale: A Golden OpportunityWomen's Wear DailySaks Off 5th is ready to join resale. Throughout the last several months, Saks Off 5th has been partnering with companies like LXR & Co. and Rent The Runway to start building a network of pre-loved sources. Most recently, Saks Off Fifth launched with Reflaunt introducing menswear, men's accessories, footwear, and sunglasses into its roster of pre-loved merchandise. What is Driving Luxury Resale's Push into Physical Retail?The Fashion LawConsumer goods brands benefit from brick-and-mortar stores as physical retail drives higher spending, lower return rate, and acts as a better vehicle for new customer acquisitions. It's time for resale to get with the “old” way of shopping- in-store. The RealReal, Rebag, and Privè Porter plan to expand their physical store locations to achieve profitability and create the ultimate luxury experience for shoppers.

Although brands and retailers are taking steps to be more sustainable, there is still a disconnect on how many goods a company can make to reach environmental goals.
