Brian O’Kelley’s Next Move Has Nothing – And Everything – To Do With Advertising

What does physical commodities trading have in common with programmatic advertising? Quite a lot. So it makes sense that ad tech godfather and AppNexus founder Brian O’Kelley is revving up a new startup called CMDTY (pronounced “commodity”) that aims to apply data and technology to the old-school industry of supply chain and logistics management. His... Continue reading »

LinkedIn Paid Just Under $300M For Drawbridge

Industry insiders were largely puzzled when LinkedIn said it would buy cross-device linkage company Drawbridge in May. LinkedIn buried the announcement in a blog post, and the LinkedIn-Drawbridge synergies weren’t obvious, so it made sense to assume the purchase was either an acqui-hire or a fire sale. But, according to two AdExchanger sources, LinkedIn paid... Continue reading »

Pinterest Lowers IPO Expectations

Pinterest’s valuation in its amended S-1 released today is lower than the $12 billion it was gunning for last year. With price per share ranging from $15 to $17, Pinterest is valued between $10 billion and $11.3 billion. Could this lower-than-expected valuation indicate skepticism about Pinterest’s core business? Elgin Thompson, managing director of Digital Capital... Continue reading »

Three Investment Trends To Watch In 2019

Investors are well over their brief love affair with independent ad tech, but other categories –namely mar tech, customer data platforms (CDPs) and advanced TV technology – are now catching their eye. Why? In a word: growth. “Growth is still what commands exit premiums – growth is what people pay for,” said Deborah Farrington, founder and... Continue reading »

LUMA: Mar Tech Is Booming, PE Is Hungry And ‘There’s Blood In The Water’ For Ad Tech

If you’re a mature marketing technology platform: Congrats. 2018 was your year and the future looks bright. But if you’re an ad tech company without a unique value prop that’s jonesing for an exit, apologies, the outlook remains fairly bleak. Although digital advertising is still growing – it’s a $100 billion market today – Google and Facebook... Continue reading »

JEGI Co-President Tolman Geffs will speak at AdExchanger’s upcoming Industry Preview conference on Jan. 23-24, 2019 at the Grand Hyatt New York. “There’s been a hell of a pullback investing in anything that remotely smells like ad tech,” according to Tolman Geffs, co-president of investment bank Jordan, Edmiston Group Inc.
