Digital Marketing Questions in Search of Answers

* The challenge for agencies isn’t executing a digital marketing strategy — it’s doing it at scale
* Agencies are forced to do what they always do when it comes to margin compression — share the pain with their publishing partners
* It’s not the tools that make the agency — it’s how the tools are used that ultimately determines success

There’s No App for That

Building the Technology Stack for Next Generation Digital Media Buying and Selling Last week’s IAB Network and Exchanges conference was full of the usual self-congratulatory “use cases” of byzantine, data-based strategies for squeezing conversions from web-based display banners for direct response campaigns—or, alternatively, helping to drive “branded performance,” based on the listener’s preference.
