This week's review of ad fraud and quality in the digital advertising space.
On Thursday, at Dmexco, a panel of digital ad stakeholders discussed the current state of the supply chain — and what can be done to improve it. Pixalate recapped the conversation, which revolved around 10 key supply chain challenges, and how far along we are in combatting each threat.
The IAB Tech Lab this week announced that its OpenRTB 3.0 protocol is now open for public comment. Per the IAB, the update is "a major overhaul to the real-time bidding framework that will heighten trust in the security of the automated advertising supply chain by giving buyers more transparency during the bid process."
According to MediaPost, citing research from IHS Markit on behalf of IAB Europe, over 50% of display ads in Europe are now traded via programmatic. "The study estimates that Europe’s programmatic display ad marketplace has expanded 42.7% to $9.7 billion in 2016," wrote MediaPost. "Programmatic mobile ad trading also rose sharply, expanding 65% in 2016."
"eMarketer has reduced its estimate for US TV ad spending due to faster-than-expected growth in cord-cutting," wrote the research company in a blog post announcing the revised estimates. "This year, there will be 22.2 million cord-cutters ages 18 and older, a figure up 33.2% over 2016. The overall tally is much higher than the 15.4 million eMarketer previously predicted," eMarketer wrote.
