In a move that will surely help to further propel mobile display advertising, OMD, Omnicom’s media buying agency, has officially become the first [influential] agency to mandate that mobile publishers accept 3rd party ad serving tags and bill off of the 3rd party numbers.

Data Portability. No two words should make any publisher and marketer shiver more with anticipation about the potential of tapping into the power of the social graph and engaging more consumers in deeper ways.

For years the digital media industry has been plagued by the ironic amount of paper pushing and inefficiency that should not exist in a “digital” industry. From the RFP process, to planning, to billing reconciliation, we have had an exhorbinant amount of high labor/low value work being handled by highly paid staff who we would [...]

Google made two announcements this week, one focused for small businesses and one focused on large agencies.

As Advertising Week wraps up, two things are clearer than ever. First – the data exchange business is more embraced than ever before and is alive and kicking. Second, the data exchange business has a target on its back…and the FTC is aiming right at it.
Cookies are good, data is good, relevancy is good. Lack [...]

I moderated a panel at the OMMA Global conference today titled “Competing With Search”, which I thought from day 1 was an interesting title, but somewhat of a misnomer for any conversation relating to digital media.

The leader of the pack, by a good margin, is still Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, followed by Firefox, and the Safari Mac browser.
