Best Practices: Identifying PartnersIt’s critical to understand how you will identify potential PMP partners, and which partners you do not want to allow through PMP’s.
Here are several practices we’ve seen work well:

Best Practice How It WorksIdentify Brands and Buyers Through Open Exchange Selling
• Make a portion of inventory available on open exchange.• Report by brand and buyer to identify potential opportunities.• Important: Ensure that your SSP is able to report accurately by brand and buyer.
Exclude Competitive Brands & Advertisers
• Be careful when allowing brands or advertisers who buy through direct channels to participate in PMP’s.
• Important: Ensure that your SSP is able to handle competitive exclusions. Many claim they can do this, but are not actually able to do this effectively. Accurate identification of brands is key.
Beware of Data Leakage Risks • Exposing data through a Deal comes with risk of data leakage.• Ensure your Deal covers data usage terms.

Mediation has outlived it’s Expiration Date
• Static Mediation was a necessary tool to maximize AdNetwork revenue
• Simple ‘Daisy Chain’ setups evolved to rarely updated ‘waterfall setups’
• Eventually, adservers & adtech startups focused on this business issue with mixed results

Mediation will Continue, but for how long?
• Mediation will become less necessary as RTB adoption increases
• AdNetworks who access inventory via mediation partners will become become increasingly required to show transparency and reduce SDK based integration
• Push for: Granular controls on what users, inventory, & data is made available
• Prioritize S2S integrations and mediation partners with synced reporting and auto-CPM updates
