A big week for the open internet. Lots of things are moving and ?s are being asked about the walled vs. open approaches. This is a massive win for connectivity, decisioning and omnichannel buying as well as a sign of continued innovation in the CTV landscape. For retailers - this unlocks big opportunities to better connect the power of 1P data with the scale and reach of the big screen.

I really enjoyed this Marketecture Pod by Harry Kargman. He said what we all know to be true: "If you even look at Trade Desk today...are they even a DSP or an ad network or a data company, or all the rest, you can't put anything in a box." But what I do know is what a black box looks like. So if you don't know where your ads are running (ie: domain level reporting with log files to back them up) or how much you are paying for them now, (beyond the platform fee, or the variable/blended margin), then I can tell you with a large degree of certainty that you are you are probably lighting 50-60% of your media dollars on fire once it actually gets to the end human, which you aren't also tracking to be true. Keep in mind, your screenshots are also made up. AI can do that for me now too. If you don't believe me, hit me up via DM and I'll tell you where you money is being wasted. https://lnkd.in/gHxmHeZ7 CC: Lizzie Black Brittany Smartt Batchelor

Another milestone: Yahoo DSP advertisers now have seamless access to Kroger audiences. At Kroger Precision Marketing, we believe in the power of our precision purchase signals. Shopping behaviors reveal lifestyles, aspirations, and life stages more meaningfully than demographics alone. This builds on the self-service programmatic capabilities we announced last Fall. Both Yahoo and Kroger Precision Marketing have first-party signals at the core of this offering. Much of the digital media industry has been using the same third-party data signals for decades – and those signals are fading. Big brands are making the switch to retail data. Some key features in our approach: ✅ Programmatic Controls: Manage your own campaigns & activate custom-built, Kroger purchase-based audiences with closed-loop sales measurement in your existing Yahoo DSP seat. ✅ Flexibility: Apply quality controls including verification and brand safety tagging. Easily layer Kroger audiences onto your media strategies, maintaining control of optimizations and rail settings. ✅ Pricing Transparency: Fully-transparent pricing model; know exactly how much of your media investment is allocated to inventory vs. audience vs. measurement. I’m proud of the entire team behind this at KPM. And a special shout-out to our Yahoo collaborators, Elizabeth Herbst-Brady, Mike Brunick, and Beth Nussbaum Gross - among many others.
