From my @adexchanger article today, like Jay-Z said, “You can’t heal what you never reveal.” I talk about translucency. What is your hip hop quotable. adexchanger.com/data-driven-th…

Rather than setting out to attain transparency in #adtech, “let’s pursue a state of translucence, where at least some light is getting in,” writes our CRO @marcjgoldberg in his latest @adexchanger column. He even made a hip hop mix for your journey 🎧 adexchanger.com/data-driven-th…

Vulnerability in OTT/CTV “is not up for debate,” writes @marcjgoldberg via @ANAmarketers. What is up for debate is how you approach vulnerability. "Your verification vendors can help you navigate the journey, but they need to give you a GPS, not a compass” ana.net/miccontent/sho…

“Transparency and reporting for the sake of reporting isn't valuable,” writes our CRO @marcjgoldberg in @adexchanger. It’s time to ask your verification vendor the hard questions to get to your intended destination. Because you need a GPS, not a compass. #more-182370" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">adexchanger.com/data-driven-th…

It's been quite a year for MMI! As 2021 draws to a close, our founder and CEO @ShailinDhar shares his thoughts and reflections in this Year in Review linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

“Surface-level reporting provides a false sense of security and direction,” writes our CRO @marcjgoldberg in @adexchanger. Your measurement provider should be giving you a GPS, not a compass.

Metaverse got the headline here, but @marcjgoldberg’s call out of third-party cookie deprecation got an honorable mention. “Despite all the hype, the impact to a marketer is not as significant.” More from Marc in the article:

Our origin story started as consultants. People listen to trusted 3rd parties more than a 3rd-party vendor. We have not deviated from our consultative approach; it comes with from the heart. We are passionate about changing the ecosystem. - @marcjgoldberg linkedin.com/posts/marcgold…

“Fraud follows the money" is a fun thing to say for execs but the reality is that it follows the path of least technical resistance. CTV budgets being so high, combined with fractured ad serving infrastructure in streaming environments, makes it the perfect storm. - @ShailinDhar

Comparing yesterday’s IAS Industry Pulse report and DoubleVerify’s OTT/CTV research makes one thing very clear: media buyers need to better understand their vulnerability to ad fraud. Our CRO @marcjgoldberg has some thoughts: linkedin.com/posts/marcgold…
