What happened
The boundaries between middle- and social retail, search, cTV and other inventories become more difficult to separate. The source presents this development in advertising: IAB Proposes Redefining Media Types to Reflect How Digital Advertising Is Bought.
What changes
The new thing is to mix inventory, data, creativity and measurement: the format can no longer be analysed separate from its result.
Why it matters
It matters because it forces to connect creativity and means with real results rather than optimizing only intermediate metrics.
Implications for businesses
A Mexican company can test its approach with a controlled budget, a defined business metric and comparison against its current performance before expanding its investment.
One Rhino’s take
Creativity remains crucial, but now we have to live with automation, data and a measurement that can explain what's been changing in our business.
