What Happens In Adops

What Happens In Adops

This week I chat with Drew Bradstock the Head of Product at Index Exchange. What better way to start season 2 than with a bunch of deeply technical stuff and a few new acronyms? We talk about the audience consortium, GDPR, ads.txt and what brand of scotch we have in our bars at home.

This week I chat with Jason Burke the VP of Strategy at clypd. Unlike every other guest Jason doesn't work in digital ads. Instead he works in (gasp!) Linear TV. Specifically in what some call "Programmatic TV" but don't let Jason hear you call it that.

This week I chat with Erik Requidan and Stephanie Snow from Intermarkets (Drudge Report). Intermarkets is one of the few large publishers to not use DFP as their adserver. So we talk about that, Erik's adops happy hour group, and (of course) aliens.

This week I chat with Chris Kane, the founder of Jounce Media. We get a bit nerdy this week and dig in on the "header bidding shit layer cake", how the buy side steals publisher data (for free), and why buyers shouldn't try to be the next netflix.

This week I chat with Todd Garland the CEO of Buysellads. Todd goes anti-adtech and I try to figure out where it all went wrong. We discuss audience targeting, Facebook, and the IAB. And I'm not gonna lie Todd's drink of choice is... well it's weird.
