Digital Stars Rise At Publicis Groupe, VivaKi Bifurcated

The first half of 2014 was sobering, to put it mildly, for Publicis Groupe and its CEO, Maurice Levy. In the wake of the holding company's failed megamerger with Omnicom Group and its weak second-quarter earnings report, Levy needs to show digital strength. Some structural changes announced Tuesday may help it do that. Among the... Continue reading »

DIY Amazon: Buy-Side Versatility The Basis Of Agency Dealings

Amazon’s enterprise self-serve ads platform, designed for agencies and brands, is intended as a programmatic complement rather than a replacement for direct-sold inventory. Publicis agency VivaKi is the first and only agency Amazon Media Group is working with at present for the self-serve platform rollout. Over the last three years, Amazon has spoken with agency...

Vindico's Viewability System Will Verify All Publicis Video Buys

The big problem advertisers have assessing the value of video viewability is that the metric means something different every time it's used. Publicis Groupe digital buying hub VivaKi hopes it can promise clients across its media-agency siblings a single definition for viewability by using video ad server Vindico's verification tool, AdTricity, for all video ad...

After The Wall: Impact Of Google's Debut On FBX

Facebook's barricade against Google held up a long time, but the wall had to fall: Google wanted the audience, marketers wanted the interoperability and Facebook wanted the demand. As we reported Friday, after giving Google the cold shoulder for more than a year, Facebook has decided to let DoubleClick Bid Manager bring its buying clout... Continue reading »

Trading Desk Bosses Project 2015 Automated Ad Spend, Declare War On Site Lists

Automation Is Coming. In panel after panel at New York's Advertising Week, publishers and agencies heaped hate on ad selling inefficiencies and delivered eulogies for their mutual adversary, the insertion order.

Another Path For Publicis-Omnicom: Turn Accuen Into A 'Conflict Desk'

Here's a far out option for Publicis and Omnicom as they attempt to fit their trading desk units together: Allow the smaller of the two, Omnicom's Accuen, to continue as a standalone unit to manage clients that are competitive with Publicis's Vivaki AOD. It would be the programmatic equivalent of a "conflict shop." Last week,... Continue reading »

Agency Trading-Desk Evolution To Accelerate

As more advertising dollars pour into digital -- and into agency trading desks -- the exchange model's momentum is likely to continue, no matter what level of integration comes from the merger of Publicis Groupe and Omnicom. Several executives who have served with the trading-desk side of the agency business and moved on said that... Continue reading »
