Judging from my 15 years of experience in online advertising, I can say that there’s only one thing that is constant on the market: it constantly changes. The more flexible the publishers and advertisers are in adopting new strategies, the better, as a majority of the players on the market are not big enough to fight and eventually stop these changes.
A good example of that would be the case that’s described in the “How are app marketers managing programmatic advertising campaigns in the post-IDFA world?” article. It shows different approaches taken by marketers in order to adapt to the change caused by the launch of Apple’s App Tracking Transparency. The best approach is probably to utilize the strategies that worked in the past, while trying to come up with new ideas to target the most relevant users on the in-app inventory.
Another trend that we’re all facing is the change of available inventory (impressions) due to the pandemic. Last year a huge number of publishers were able to get much more traffic than a year before. In 2021 this curve also flattens, as people are trying to spend more time offline, and are less interested in reading about the newest coronavirus variants. A nice analysis of this trend can be found in the article published by Max Willens at Digiday.
Happy reading!
