It's fair to say that one of the markets that has become most complex and least transparent in the digital age has been advertising. The market was described in 2016 by Marc Pritchard – the Chief Brand Officer of Procter & Gamble, both the world's biggest consumer goods business and the world's highest-spending advertiser – as “murky at best, fraudulent at worst”. In this episode of the Data Malarkey podcast, data storyteller Sam Knowles talks to Dutch media entrepreneur Stijn Gimbrère, Founder and CEO of Media Futures Market. Media Futures Market is an innovative platform that directly connects buyers – that's brands and their agencies – with high-quality media owners and publishers selling advertising inventory. In a market that's been weighted for too long against advertisers – whose budgets fund every link in the chain – Media Futures Market's mission is to provide buyers and sellers with the same information; simply, clearly, and transparently . Before founding his current venture in June 2020, Stijn cut his teeth at the Dutch media network, RTL Nederland, before holding a variety of strategy and corporate development roles at advertising platform SpotX. he identified the gap in the market for his new venture while on a round-the-world trip with his wife, just pre-pandemic. Our conversation was recorded remotely, via the medium of Riverside.fm, on 4 April 2023. Thanks to Joe Hickey for production support. Podcast artwork by Shatter Media. Voice over by Samantha Boffin. For too long, middlemen who only erode value have squandered advertisers' marketing budgets. Stijn is driven by a desire to bring transparency to the advertising market. One of the ways Media Futures Market does this is by enabling buyers to “compare apples with apples” and understand what an investment on one media property will deliver compared with any other. Meta (Facebook, Instagram) and Alphabet (Google, YouTube) make it easy – though not totally transparent – for buyers to know what they're buying. By making it easy, they account for up to 80% of the online ad market. But there's huge value in other properties and platforms, and Media Futures Market makes it straightforward for buyers to know where the value is for them. As a data storyteller, Stijn appreciates the need to “read the room” and understand the likely data tolerance of those you're speaking to. You need a different type of narrative – and a different blend of narrative and numbers – if you're talking to a CEO compared with a Finance Director. Knowing your audience is, for Stijn, a critical dimension of being a better data storyteller. Media Futures Market first attracted media attention – from the Dutch equivalent of the Financial Times – by telling a data-driven story which showed the numbers in the advertising market don't add up; that demonstrated the poor value many buyers were getting. This was particularly true of the unregulated, automated, programmatic advertising market. That – Stijn says – was the Wild West. Thanks in no small part to businesses committed to transparency and information symmetry like Stijn's Media Futures Market, the days of the Wild West are rapidly becoming history.

The Future of Gaming on the Blockchain The GameFi space is a huge, evolving space that's constantly innovating as time goes on. Traditional game development studios are seeing the huge amount of investment capital in the space and are looking to see how the blockchain could solve some of the problems they face, or, enhance a players experience. Niantic, the company behind Pokémon Go, starting to explore the blockchain Earlier this year, Niantic had met the team behind SpotX Games, a Miami-based company that describes itself as “a web3 innovation studio for the real-world metaverse”. Hanke was taken with SpotX's work and acquired the studio. “The potential for web3 is to move us back — to a more decentralized version of the internet,” Hanke said. “And to recapture some of that spirit and vision that was there when it started.” Game developer Akatsuki announces $20 million web3 fund Japanese entertainment and gaming firm Akatsuki said on Wednesday that it has raised a $20 million fund focused on investing in web3 projects. The fund, dubbed Emoote, will look to back startups working on projects in GameFi, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and the metaverse, Akatsuki said in a press release. The name Emoote was chosen to signal that NFT consumption is based on "emotional values," Akatsuki added.

Bit by the entrepreneurship bug in 2007, Steve Swoboda founded SpotX, the first online advertising marketplace that is now utilized by premium publishers and broadcasters like Disney, Samsung, and Warner Media. Following the digital advertising boom years later, Steve and his co-founder Mike Shehan has built the company to $13 million and had an exit valuation of $1.2 billion. But Steve doesn't really care about the metrics. As a Colorado native, Steve attributes his overall success to the local culture and wears SpotX's roots as a badge of honor. While the billion-dollar exit is impressive, Steve cares more about the culture they have created than the money they have earned.

What is happening in the mobile adtech ecosystem? Is it the rise of platforms? The need for size to fight the heavyweight contenders of mobile advertising? Consolidation to accumulate and stockpile more first-party data in an era of increasingly scarce second and third party information? Or just a need to acquire revenue on the path to going public? Whatever it is, we are seeing a massive acceleration in mergers and acquisitions in the mobile marketing and adtech ecosystems. Applovin bought Adjust, Vungle bought GameRefinery, Verve bought Nexstar. District M and Sharethrough. Magnite (formerly Rubicon) bought SpotX just a few months ago … and, of course, the ink has barely dried on the $400 million Digital Turbine acquisition of AdColony. In this episode of Growth Masterminds, we chat with Offer Yehudai, president at Fyber, and Matt Tubergen, EVP corporate development and strategy at Digital Turbine about their deal ... and the wider implications in the ecosystem.

Superbowl Sunday has some of the most coveted ad spaces in the business, with 30-second slots commanding over $5M each. But what if advertisers could target their spend, and viewers at home could see different adverts depending on their interests? In this week's episode, Luke & Albert talk about programmatic advertising, and deep dive into a fast-growing player in this space, Magnite. The loss of live sports during the pandemic has accelerated cord-cutting and the move from linear TV to connected TV, which is driving the adoption of programmatic advertising, as ad-supported services complement subscription services It's not just connected TV that can benefit from programmatic advertising - desktop, mobile, podcasts, and potentially video games, virtual reality and augmented reality could offer ad-supported models for consumers to receive free content in exchange for receiving adverts tailored to their interests Magnite is the world's largest independent supply-side platform (SSP) for programmatic advertising, which holds auctions for ad space in real-time, allowing publishers to maximise their ad revenue, advertisers to reach their target audience, and consumers to see more relevant ads Publishers and advertisers are increasingly turning to independent platforms to avoid conflicts of interest with the ad platform itself. Walled gardens such as Google and Amazon often have their own products and services to promote Working with the leading demand-side programmatic ad platform, The Trade Desk, Magnite will adopt Unified Id 2.0 to allow targeted ads in exchange for free content, bypassing the need for 3rd-party cookies, and protecting user privacy In 2020, CTV accounted for 29% of TV viewing in the US but only captured 3% of the total TV ad budget. With CTV viewing increasing and linear TV decreasing, this gap is not likely to hold for long, and the recent acquisition of SpotX enhances Magnite's presence in the connected TV advertising market, especially in live sports and live news ----- If you enjoyed this episode, please consider subscribing to the Telescope Investing website at https://telescopeinvesting.com/subscribe/ Or you can contact the hosts Luke & Albert at https://twitter.com/LukeTelescope https://twitter.com/AlbertTelescope

Online TV movies, shows, and streaming video channels can earn higher revenue per impression from advertising than broadcast Superbowl ads because of ad targeting and multi-device delivery platforms. The sources of ads can come direct sold deals or programmatically delivered through ad servers like Google Ad Manager (DFP), Freewheel (mostly broadcast), SpotX, Springserve, and others.

Leanne Smullen likes to be where convergence happens. As the vice president of marketing and training for Denver-based SpotX, a leading video advertising platform that sits in the middle of the convergence of traditional TV and digital video, she is uniquely positioned where she wants to be with a company that has grown rapidly on an international stage. Smullen also strives to be the best in her other role as a part-time lieutenant colonel in the Colorado Army National Guard, where she helps civilian agencies respond to wildfires, floods and other emergencies. Smullen is also a certified coach, helping people develop their strengths and become effective leaders. Considering the sometimes intense work she encounters as a soldier and in the professional workforce, Smullen is best when she is calm under pressure. She has experienced loss in her life, but used her tough experiences to learn and grow, and she expects those she coaches to use their experiences to get in touch with and live their values. Her values are “Buddhist-inspired” and that moderation and practical approach helps her handle any situation. Smullen thinks that people must also learn emotional intelligence to grow and have the skills to deal with others. As a leader at SpotX and with the military, she sees the importance of making decisions based on what is best for the whole team, and committing yourself to something bigger than yourself. She wants to set an example in all that she does, setting an example by being more self-aware and reflective. “If you continually learn about yourself and set that example you're living the middle way. It's right where things converge and that's a good place to be,” she concluded.
