https://lnkd.in/gSNGxFQp The Spencer Stuart annual CMO Tenure Study offers compelling insights into the evolving role and stability of CMOs, particularly noting the tenure stabilization at 4.2 years for Fortune 500 CMOs. It's intriguing that B2B CMOs tend to have longer tenures compared to their B2C counterparts, with 4.5 years versus 4.0 years respectively. This difference likely reflects the distinct challenges and market dynamics each sector faces. The study also highlights the increasing trend of CMOs taking on broader responsibilities and the significant number of first-time CMOs being promoted internally, suggesting a strong emphasis on leadership development and succession planning within organizations. It is great to see that women now represent half of Fortune 500 CMOs. I believe it's important now for companies to turn their attention to improving development and support systems for diverse high-potential leaders. #CMOtenure #B2BMarketing #Leadership #WomeninMarketing

“There’s no writer’s block. There’s lazy. There’s scared. But there’s no writer’s block. Just sit down and realize: you’re mediocre and you’re gonna have to put a lot of effort into this to make it good. That’s what writing is.” I resonated with this! The best writers are meticulous problem solvers. They understand The Grind. Figuring out (a) what it is and (b) how it all fits together *is* the job.

Digital ad spend is expected to grow about 10% in both 2024 and 2025, led by continued growth in connected TV (CTV) and especially retail media, as partnerships between media companies and retailers have steadily increased in the last few years. #mediaplanning #mediabuying

💡 #Brands Take note how the #NYPost mitigated #cookiepocalypse risk by using Aqfer's identity resolution tech, informed by Prohaska Consulting. In a post 3rd party cookie 🍪 world killer content and segmentation hooked to an adtech #frankenstack results in risk & loss. Pubs and brands need their own 1st party IDR systems to avoid fragmented customer views that result from multiple ID providers & other partners who are all hooked to each other in an attempt to create their own scale. This many-to-many-middlemen scenario has plagued adtech from the start. The result is redundancy, media waste, inconsistent customer experiences and inaccurate measurement. Think of Aqfer IDR like Data tech’s version of SPO 😉 #DPO, enabling clients like the NYPost, to get a single, deduplicated, omnichannel view of their customers.

So This is Fascinating and I am very pleased. This week I posted that we needed responsibility to come back into programmatic. Because otherwise everyone blames others and we end up with a polluted ecosystem (fraud, bad content, MFA, hate etc). I have been talking about this in different ways for years. We need some level of walls to keep out the bad actors. We need some level of responsibility to maintain standards. Its clear that TTD and Jeff Green agree. This is at the nub of the push to the premium internet. With TTD taking some level of responsibility for what happens on their platform. Its also worth saying that the easy option is to do nothing. Many platforms make millions out of poor content in the short term. We need more action like this for the long term. For thats the point. This is not altruistic but acting to secure the long term viability of the channel.

✅🖥️ AdExchanger (6/3): “Seedtag was mainly attracted to Beachfront’s SSP direct integrations with TV and streaming publishers, which is something that Seedtag doesn’t have much of. These publishers will attract new demand and more scale for Seedtag’s contextual ad products. Seedtag entered the US market in 2022. But it wasn’t until earlier this year that it launched its first CTV-focused contextual ad product that allows advertisers to apply contextual targeting signals to their streaming buys. More advertisers are now looking for addressable alternatives in light of signal loss and privacy concerns, which, in turn, is driving more interest in streaming ad products. Hence Seedtag’s decision to buy rather than build in order to capture that growing demand. Beachfront operates both a video-focused supply-side platform and ad server.” ⬇️ #streamingtv #ssp #dsp #ctvadvertising #spo https://lnkd.in/evvUE4hY

While I can’t speak to the legitimacy of the accusations herein, this is still a worrying situation for advertisers everywhere. Publications whose reputations are staked on their image of legitimate business are not what many may expect to be perpetrators of MFA Ad fraud. That being said, we can better understand ad fraud by looking at the incentive changes on the supply side of these AdTech deals. Ad fraud particularly harms multicultural publishers, as their reach and impact receive decreased impact when improperly assigned to Ad spaces. #AdFraud #AdTech #ProgramaticSupplyChain
