Is Agentic Direct the Future?
Scott and Jana on agentic direct. Not a better programmatic pipe: campaigns negotiated by agents and booked straight into the publisher's ad server. Scott makes the case that it hands pricing power back to publishers, Jana asks the questions, and together they get into who could build the marketplaces, what has to come true for any of it to work, and how to be agentic direct ready before the money shows up.
I've tried Everything but AdTech Therapy
A special replay. For AdExchanger Talks' 500th episode, the guests were our own Scott and Jana, so this week we're sharing that session with our listeners, with a new intro. Judge Brinkema's decision not to break up GAM, Google's impression-counting change, and GAM's new data co-op versus publisher-led collectives. Thanks to AdExchanger for putting us on the couch for a change.
We built this Sh*t by Hand
Scott and Jana on configuration management. What these platforms actually control on your page, how yield testing went from a full team to one tool, the downside of buying a Ferrari you don't have the staff to drive, whether you're big enough to need one, and how to tell a feature that helps you run the business from one that's just cool. Plus the rule for every vendor demo: you can't push a PDF.
