These upgrades introduce game-changing solutions that empower you to regain control over your digital advertising spend, create lasting marketing partnerships and generate more ecommerce revenue.
The Challenge: Big Tech’s Dominance of Digital Ad Spend
Almost three-quarters of global digital ad spend is currently invested into three main technology platforms, whose market dominance and auction-based models have left businesses struggling with skyrocketing costs and little control over where to invest their money.
Similarly, the US Association of National Advertisers’ (ANA) recent study revealed that 23% of brand spend in programmatic advertising is going to waste, highlighting the transparency issues within that space. This wasted spend amounts to at least $20bn, a third more than what is set to be invested globally in the affiliate industry by brands this year. It's time for marketers to stop pouring money into big tech and start investing in channels that are wholly transparent and allow you to directly tie spend to tangible results.
