SANTA MONICA, Calif. – Programmatic ad-buying has long relied on carefully selecting digital properties and packaging them for buyers.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Amongst the copious terminology which is so commonplace in digital advertising, a new one joined the ranks over the last year. “Supply-side targeting” is reckoned to encompass the different ways in which ad-tech can enable targeting capabilities for publishers and around publishers’ own content or inventory, rather than audience-based targeting. […]

It’s the walled gardens’ world; we just live in it. That is the growing fear in pretty much all walks of society these days.

WASHINGTON, D.C.-Political candidates aren’t the only humans capable of saying one thing and then doing another. While many a campaign’s media strategists talk a great game about harnessing digital ads and programmatic television to target voters with less waste, there’s a big disconnect from what they actually do. This sentiment was echoed by all three […]

WASHINGTON, D.C.-It’s common wisdom that the growth of programmatic television advertising has been constrained less by technology than by the difficulty in herding together all the players that own the inventory. But at a more basic level, human instinct is in play. There are a “lot of different actors on a lot of different levels,” […]

It’s easy to forget now but, when credit cards first came on to the scene, they suffered a bad reputation, as poor security measures allowed nefarious clerks and larger-scale operators to clone and defraud accounts.
