Each of the participants provided insights on ad exchanges. Will Margiloff said that from his agency perspective, “We do a lot of buying on the exchanges for our customers. The main difference for us is transparency as well as technological facilitation.” Anand Subramanian stressed the importance of ad exchange platforms being able to provide value to both sides of the advertising exchange – advertisers and publishers, alike.
Intervco’s Paul Debraccio pointed to the importance of liquidity for media buyers saying, “If Exchange 1 has 50 million uniques and Exchange 2 has 500 million uniques, it’s a no brainer where they’re going to go with similar targeting and pricing.”
Ultimately, the lively discusssion led by Marla Schimke proved insightful for the audience who confirmed as much when polled at its conclusion. To view the video, click below.
