French Grocery Chain Swaps Print Circulars For Programmatic

Intermarché, the third-largest supermarket chain in France, distributes close to 970 million printed circulars a year. Beyond requiring beaucoup papier, “a lot of younger people simply don’t read them anymore,” said Anne-Marie Gaultier, Intermarché’s CMO. And that’s if they even receive them.

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.

His... Continue reading »

Mr. O’Kelley Goes To Washington, Calls For a Breakup Of Google

The programmatic advertising ecosystem is a mess – even its main architect agrees. In testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, Brian O’Kelley, founder and former CEO of AT&T-owned AppNexus, shared a three-pronged proposal for how he’d start to fix the tangled web he helped weave. First, give consumers control and transparency over their data.... Continue reading »

Brian O’Kelley’s Departure As CEO Comes As No Surprise To Ad Tech Insiders

Brian O’Kelley’s departure as CEO of AppNexus surprised few in the industry who know him. His sharp opinions and independent mindset made him an ad tech provocateur and a fearless leader. But that same personality seemed incompatible with taking a subservient role to Xandr CEO Brian Lesser within the AT&T mega-corporation. After all, this is... Continue reading »

AppNexus Is No Longer Independent: How Will Its Clients React?

AT&T has big plans to operate a programmatic exchange for the advanced TV advertising industry. Its Monday acquisition of AppNexus gives AT&T the infrastructure and relationships with content owners and buyers to operate that exchange at scale.

Industry Preview: Insiders Highlight Four Issues That Create Distrust In Advertising

The advertising industry has been plagued by a lack of trust, with vendors, agencies and marketers looking at each other askance.

AppNexus CEO Brian O'Kelley On Waging A Price War

AppNexus CEO Brian O’Kelley has been waiting 10 years for ad tech to become transparent. Less than a week after Rubicon Project slashed its take rate in half, to 10% to 12%, by doing away with buy-side fees, AppNexus said its fees are even lower. The company revealed it charges an 8.5% average to the... Continue reading »
