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.

  • The Symphony-Adslot integration is vastly improved

  • The Company has prioritised the Symphony-Adslot integration agenda, and is moving rapidly to a single interface for buyers (Symphony) and a single interface for sellers (Adslot Publisher)
