WHY WE WENT ALL-IN

HOW WE DID IT WHAT WE ROLLED OUT

A BUSINESS PLAN BORN FROM DRINKS, LUNCHES & COFFEE

Fit our strategy & culture

Played to our strength & reality in-market

Leveraged our natural assets

Extensive RFP process

Asked a lot of dumb question. Answered a lot of smart ones

Ate what we sold

Initially, retargeting

Built our trading desk, sales team across all major offices

Sell first, build next

KNOWLEDGE & READINESS

INERTIA ‘SEA’ SCALE WAS A CONSTANT ISSUE

CHALLENGES WE FACED

Vendors didn’t know their full offering

We didn’t know what we needed

Customers had different ideas & definitions

Walk better first, before you even ask to run

Systems and processes not in place, internally & externally

Why bother?

Too small to be significant to the ‘mature’ markets

Too big an opportunity to be ignored

YOUR VENDORS ARE YOUR PARTNERS

AD TECH IS NOT JUST FOE THE BIG BOYS

BE THE EGG

LESSONS LEARNT

Treat them like stakeholders in your business

They’re likely already doing what you want to do in 6 months

Great to bounce ideas off & seperate myth from reality

Programmatic is for small-medium players as well

Can provide efficiencies & access to new markets

Experiment and iterate

Publishers & data owners need to be first to market

Cusomers don’t know what they want until they see it

Sell first, say yes, build next
