Growth Agenda
Growth Agenda
-
revenue produced via Symphony is expected to continue to grow.
-
A majority of R&D investment continues to focus on the scalable, high margin Trading Fee revenue derived from Automated Guaranteed.
-
Trading Fee revenues to date remain nascent, unpredictable and have taken longer to emerge than anticipated.
-
Adoption timeframe has been impacted by a range of factors, including a highly distributed agency assessment process, the change management implications of a revised buying process and (until April/May ‘17) a prioritisation of the margin opportunities in RTB.
