Article #1 – As agencies go directly to SSPs, they are trimming the number they use

“This is the latest iteration of supply-path optimization whereby agencies have gone beyond simply finding the best way to obtain the impressions they want. Agencies are now starting to limit the number of resold, pricey impressions they buy in favor of finding lower-fee, direct routes to those same impressions.”

Article #2 – Goodway Group Delivers Strategic Optimization with Log Level Data from PubMatic

“PubMatic, Inc., a sell-side platform that delivers superior outcomes for digital advertising, announced that Goodway Group, the digital partner that advertisers trust to deliver campaign performance and media efficiency, has successfully leveraged PubMatic’s log level data toolset to increase spend efficiency for one of their top advertisers.”

Article #3 – Learn How PubMatic is Selected by GroupM as a Global Preferred SSP Partner

“With a shared vision for transparency and innovation in digital advertising, the alliance brings benefits to both advertisers and publishers. GroupM will gain programmatic advantages, given more efficient access to globally scaled, brand-safe inventory across OTT/CTV, mobile app, mobile web, and desktop environments for video and display advertising. At the same time, PubMatic’s publisher partners will gain access to unique, quality ad spend at scale from GroupM’s broad portfolio of global advertisers.”

Article #4 – BT and Essence Increase Transparency of Programmatic Media by Adopting PubMatic’s Buyer-Controlled Fee Structure

“PubMatic’s transparent fixed-fee commercial model delivered 7% increase in win rate and a 5% increase in bid rate for BT, exemplifying the value of a consistent fee structure for brands and media agencies.”

Article #5 – GroupM Strikes Preferred SSP Deal With PubMatic

“GroupM evaluated PubMatic in a series of reviews last year, and PubMatic stood out because of its global footprint, efficient pricing and the collaboration and service it was willing to commit to the partnership.”

Article #6- When Goodway Group Added Log-Level Data To Its DSP Algo, Performance Soared

“Goodway Group’s performance soared after it fed log-level data from PubMatic’s exchange into its DSP algorithm. By connecting to the supply-side platform, the agency’s algorithm could analyze more granular data, like why a client lost an ad auction and the price of the winning bid. And when it won an auction, the exchange shared information about the second-highest bid.”
