XA.net’s CEO Rob Leathern and AdXpose’s Vice President, Sales Sandy Streim will team up to showcase XA.net’s CPMatic platform and present how we have integrated Adxpose’s advanced reporting. We will cover platform highlights and clearly define how integrated advanced reporting helps our clients make smarter decisions on their media buys. For further demos and questions come visit us at the XA.net table. We will have our team standing by to answer any questions.

Our CEO, Rob Leathern, will also be speaking on The Social Future panel to discuss how our social media multivariate platform, optim.al, helps advertisers exceed their Facebook advertising goals. He will be joined by colleagues from Buddy Media, Cramer-Krasselt and Island Def Jam.

Digiday:OnMedia will surely be an insightful and collaborative conference. If you are interested in attending let us know! We will get you on the XA.net guest list.

We also recently heard that our inventory partner, Rubicon Project, surpassed optimizing one trillion ads! Rubicon Project’s REVV yield optimization platform, hit the one billion mark three years ago but by now has served enough impressions to have reached every human on earth more than 150 times…. Congrats to our friends at Rubicon Project.

Given the opportunity to speak about remarketing/retargeting, XA.net CEO Rob Leathern, was pleased with the crowds and session attendance and had this to say:

“People across online advertising disciplines are committed to learning all they can – to incorporate best practices and new technologies for improved campaign performance. Remarketing connects search and display advertising efforts like no other technology, and, when used correctly, can drastically improve conversion metrics for both mediums. It was good to see so many people engaged on the subject.”

Rob’s portion of the panel presentation focused on case studies that showed the best practices XA.net has used implementing retargeting/remarketing for clients’ display campaigns.

Matt reinforced XA.net’s position that, while RTB is crucially important in the online ad industry for its transparency and efficiency and will continue to grow strongly, advertisers cannot yet abandon traditional tag-based CPM buying models, where the majority of publisher inventory still exists.

Grill the Vendors: Real Time Bidding

According to some predictions, up to a third of network advertising may be moving through real-time bidding systems by the end of this year. This latest technology trend promises to match the right ad to the right person within milliseconds of their entering the page. The technology and the algorithms are complex, but do they always work as advertised? Do agencies and brands know what they are buying…and what they are buying into? Are the RTB systems out there working in the publisher’s best interests or the media buyers? We bring in some of the top competitors in the field for a class OMMA grilling in order to determine how RTB vendors differentiate themselves and answer the hard questions both publishers and media buyers must bring to the table.
