First, let’s look at the digital landscape
Digital ad spending surpassed TV in 2016, one year earlier than expected

But digital represents lots of different tactics

And the majority of that digital spend is being transacted programmatically

82%programmatic share of US digital
video ad spending by 2018
80%mobile share of US digital video
ad spending in 2017
So then why are we here?

How TMK does site direct
• We believe in quality over quantity
• We recommend only going several publishers deep with Site Direct to maximize the benefits of the channel
• Leverage site direct for what it is best for, reaching a high composition of a specific target
How to buy site direct
18
Flat rate sponsorshipA fixed cost over a specific time period for impressions served or a certain SOV
CPMCost per thousand impressions
CPECost per engagement
CPLCost per lead
CPACost per action, acquisition, anything!
CPCCost per click
Once you buy it, make sure its actually serving

QA, QA, QA! And then check again one more time. And then again in a week. And then again a week after that.
21
One of the biggest challenges with content is defining it
22
The IAB defines content as 6 categories
In Feed Promoted Listing
Paid Search In-Ad
Recommendation Widget Custom
23
In reality, content is everything from a social post to a custom content program
24
Why has content become more important and why does everyone want in?
Ad blocking will force brands + publishers to focus on creative and content
Globally, users who block ads grew by 30% (142MM) in 2016, representing 11% of the
global internet population.
25
Source: eMarketer “Ad Blocking in the US” Report, PageFair 2017 Adblock
3 in 10 US internet users are expected to be using ad blockers by the end of 2018
The release of iOS9 brought ad blocking to mobile for the first time. Ad blocking apps flew to
the top of the charts in the iTunes store.
Brands are already stating they will use content as a way to combat this trend
26
In Q1 2016, $0.85 of every new ad dollar is going to Google + Facebook
27
And that spend is indicative of how users are discovering content
28
By 2021, native (aka content) and social will make up 70+% of digital budgets

Creating and distributing content
As you get started, there are a couple of key questions you need
to ask yourself
• Who are you trying to reach?
• Why is this the content/topic of value?
• What will you create?• What is your budget?• Where will your audience
discover the content?• How will you measure?
Let’s start with the who
What do they care about?Business, Kids, Dogs, Environment, TechnologyAgain, you can leverage MRI to understand your audiences valuesAdditionally, you can leverage tools like Iconoculture and Forrester to understand trends in a particular space
32
Who do you want to reach with your content?Small Business Owners, Moms, Teenagers, Tech Enthusiasts, InvestorsLeverage comScore and MRI to look for where these audiences are
What are they hearing from competitive brands?Google it! Ask publishers for examples and leverage BrandTale
33
Why is this content valuable to your audience
Inform Educate Entertain
34
What it won’t do, at least not very efficiently
If you know who you want to reach, how do you choose a partner
Do they reach your target?You need to show that through their site and distribution they reach your audience. A small site isn’t a bad thing, but you need to make sure you have a distribution plan to support it.
35
Have they done content before?What type of content have they done before - video, posts, syndication?Who have they worked with? Ask for relevant examples and case studies.What is their team structure?
Do they have a distribution plan?Is it all banners? Do they have native plans? Do they use their social handles (and have they in the past)?
Do they have measurement benchmarks?If they don’t… consider walking away.Benchmark against other content in your category and editorial, if possible
36
You know who you want to talk to and who you might want to work with, but how do you know what to ask for?
There are lots of different types of content (and not all publishers do all of them).
Custom content: content created from scratchGoes by many names: Native Content, Sponsor Content, Branded postComes in many formats: Video, Article, Infographic
37
Curated hubs + series: these often leverage elements from the publisher and the brand
38
Content syndication: taking brand assets and publishing to partner sites
39
Sponsorships: essentially just adding your logo to a relevant topic
40
When you brief in your partners its always better to be as explicit as possible
41
What type of content do you want to do?Do you have assets? Do you want a say in what’s created?Share relevant links to brand content/assets.
What’s your budget?Often with content, we ask publishers to tell us - and that doesn’t really work. With minimums, be up front with publishers about the level you are looking to spend.Ask for production dollars to be separated from the media dollars.
What’s your time frame?How long and when do you want to be in market? How much time do you need to account for client/legal review?
Ultimately, what are you trying to change or communicate?If they don’t… consider walking away.Benchmark against other content in your category and editorial, if possible
42
You have the content, now let’s it out there!
Types of distribution: partner channels
43
Types of distribution: mobile
44
Types of distribution: in-feed
45
Types of distribution: social
46
Types of distribution: recommendation widgets
47
48
Finally, measure it
Measuring success
49
Audience: Are we reaching our target?Ask to set up an insight pixel for proprietary audience data
Engagement: Is our target engaging with our content?Ask to place a Sizmek pixel to map to current metricsImplement Nudge to measure off-site engagementAsk for partner website data (ew: Omniture, WebTrends, Google Analytics)Ask for relevant benchmarks for comparison - content is not standardAsk for social metrics (including social reach)Establish what engagement means from the beginning
Impact: Are we positively moving the needle/changing perception?Look to execute a brand survey to measure relevant brand attributes
