Signing 700+ premium publishers creates strategic value for the Company.�

  • Why signing 700+ premium publishers is significant…�

Premium online display advertising is a disorganised market�

  • The supply side of the $50B online display market is highly fragmented – in the Australian market there are dozens of publishers, in the US and Europe market there are hundreds.�

  • Publishers describe and define their inventory and audience differently, creating complexity for the buyer.� ‘ ’

  • • There is no marketplace – a single destination that aggregates a large and diverse pool of premium publishers and their premium inventory.�

  • • The toolsets used by buyers and sellers are many and varied, and are not .�

  • integrated

  • Why signing 700+ premium publishers is significant…�

  • and at scale it must be

  • For online display inventory to be traded via technology , organised , including:�

    1. Discoverable – offered within a marketplace; a singular, curated environment in

     - which a diverse range of inventory is categorised for buyers�
    

    2. Fungible – inventory defined by a consistent set of product definitions that are universally understood�

    3. Accessible – available to buyers across and within a range of different agency tools�

    4. Efficient – a low friction proposition for buyer and seller from both a workfow and business process perspective�

    5. Non disruptive – online display advertising does not require democratisation; buyers and sellers need to be able to bring their relationships and their buying/ selling leverage to the table, and negotiate terms one to one .�

The industry wants to solve this problem…

“Publishers really have to question whether � sending 100 emails to win a $50,000 RFP is worth it.”� Deanna Brown, CEO, Federated Media�

“Unfortunately, an interactive supply chain that’s been put together piece by piece, year by year, with chicken wire bytes and spit bits is a nightmare for operational efficiency and has added untold millions in costs to our collective business.”�

  • [Randall Rothenberg, President and CEO, IAB�]

…is moving into position…

“Microsoft, together with AOL and Yahoo, is committed to the growth of programmatic premium. We see this approach as being both ‘advertiser friendly’ and ‘publisher friendly’ – something that will address the challenges and inefficiencies that make it hard to scale big brand buys on the internet. Ultimately, we believe this will serve as a catalyst to unlock pent-up demand for premium publisher offerings and help speed the migration of offline media spend to online.”�

Rik van der Kooi, corporate vice president, Microsoft Advertising� “We estimate that about half of annual media investments will be delivered via more automated channels by 2016. Our goal is to ignite real change in the way media is transacted for the industry.”� Tim Spengler, Worldwide CEO Magna Global�

…and has validated the Adslot technology

July 2014� (first release)� Ongoing…�

There are challenges to be met along the way�

  • Agencies often gear decisions to their campaign planning cycles which for large advertisers are on average 3 months or more in advance�

  • We must judiciously balance product development priorities given finite resources�

  • Whilst pressure to run faster is inevitable we must remain accountable for delivering quality technology and securing quality partners�

  • Managing a global team across multiple time zones remains challenging�

  • The competitor set will inevitably expand over coming months�

How you can measure our progress�

  • Are we growing our pool of inventory?�

signing more publishers�

  • Are we securing more partners?� scaling supply & demand�

  • Are we maintaining our position as the world’s leading premium display trading platform?�

integration with Symphony, integrations with partners, new feature sets�

  • Are we growing our demand side sales pipeline?�

direct sales into demand sources such as agencies�

  • Are we growing the volume and value of transactions on our platform?� transitioning display media spend from the old world to the new�
