PRESS RELEASE: Bidtellect Releases Cookieless Context Demographic Targeting Feature, Industry First

Bidtellect is excited to collaborate with BidSwitch to announce the success of its SmartSwitch technology to optimize bidstream processing, save on listening costs, and ultimately drive performance.

To quote Arthur Hainline, Bidtellect VP of Product: “Bidtellect’s Context Demographics has three distinct advantages over traditional third-party data demographics targeting. First, it is cookieless and so its scale will not diminish as the addressable web shrinks. Second, it is cheaper than the vast majority of third party demographics data. Third, instead of sifting through studies for various demographic providers, buyers can manage and balance their accuracy and scale directly. The accuracy of Bidtellect’s new targeting option is self-evident.”

Talk about powering smarter advertising.

What You Need To Know For the Holiday Shopping Season

New data from Criteo published in Mediapost found that 30% of consumers will try a new online store because of early holiday deals, well ahead of Black Friday. That means your creative assets should feature sales and deals in its headline/copy, and that you should start reaching consumers sooner rather than later. In fact, reach cosumers with “context discovery:” one-quarter of consumers research purchases one month before their Black Friday buys. Facebook found that 63% of global shoppers surveyed enjoyed discovering items they weren’t actively looking for.

Around the Industry:

  • A study from MAGNA Media Trials and Disney Advertising Sales released today called “No News Is Bad News: Ads in News & Other Types of Content,” finds advertising in a reliable news source creates stronger brand effectiveness. People found news content to be more valuable, trustworthy and interesting. But reliability is key: 57% of respondents said marketers should vet news sources before advertising (Forbes).
  • Speaking of news, it continues to move online. The New York Times Company said on Wednesday that it added 455,000 new digital subscriptions in the third quarter, a gain that keeps the publisher on pace to reach its stated goal of 10 million subscriptions by 2025 (The New York Times).
  • US TV advertisers will increase their upfront TV spending by 7.6% this year to $19.90 billion – a return to pre-pandemic normalcy (BusinessInsider).
  • Holiday travel is returning, but lingering habits and health and safety concerns linger from the pandemic: About twice as many travelers plan to road trip (70%) versus fly (37%), citing enjoyment (38%) and convenience (28%) as the top reasons, above health (12%), according to Deloitte’s latest study. Another pandemic trend? Renting. 43% of those staying in rentals over the holidays tried this lodging type for the first time during the pandemic (Deloitte).
  • ICYMI: Facebook is officially changing its corporate name to Meta, distancing itself from its namesake social platform that launched in 2004. BUT apparently they may face a trademark battle, as a startup that sells computers, disk drives, keyboards, and other devices filed for the patent in 2020 – well before Facebook’s announcement (BusinessInsider). Each side will likely hire a copyright/trademark infringement lawyer, check here for more details on what this may entail, so they can fight the case in court if it goes that far.
  • Gartner released its fourth annual Magic Quadrant for buy-side technology and the buzz is: keep your eye on Amazon. It’s “rubbing shoulders” with the “leader” quadrant, which includes Google, The Trade Desk, Adobe, Amobee, Adform and Mediaocean. (Adexchanger).

Around the Industry:

  • AdAge asked “Is the industry prepared for a post-cookie world?” And the answers from marketers indicated… an alarming lack of concern – as in, little to no change in strategy even though there is an awareness of change coming (“action gap”). Basically because they believe adtech platforms will take care of solutions. I guess they’re right – because we’re ready 😉 (AdAge).
  • The Trade Desk has kicked off live beta testing of Unified ID 2.0 in Canada. Some existing UID2 partners are helping to shepherd the test, including Index Exchange, Magnite, Publicis, Omnicom Media Group and IPG’s Kinesso. (Adexchanger).
  • Self-serve DSPs are all the rage. According to the latest Advertiser Perceptions DSP wave, more than half of current managed service buyers plan to increase their self-serve spend. One reason for the push towards self-service can be attributed to the desire for visibility into programmatic media fees (read more on that here). As a reminder, Bidtellect offers both self-service and managed service options. (Adexchanger).
  • The Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the use of programmatic messages being shared by pharmaceutical and healthcare organizations, according to MarTech Series. With digital advertising spending in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry rising to 9.53 billion dollars last year, programmatic communications are reshaping the landscape of interactions between brands and healthcare professionals (HCPs). (MarTech Series).
