Cologne, 12 September 2018 – AT DMEXCO today, IAB Europe released two new research reports providing insight into the programmatic advertising landscape in Europe.

The IAB Europe Attitudes to Programmatic Advertising Report1 shows that advertisers continue to demand transparency, greater control, access to quality environments and inventory and are developing in-house strategies to achieve these. According to the research, in-house is now the favoured advertiser model with nearly 40% executing their programmatic trading via in-house operations. It also remains the primary model for publishers (50% now have an in-house model) and agencies (62% now have an in-house trading desk).

Now in its fourth year, the research highlights four key findings:

  1. Programmatic in-housing continues to increase and is now the favoured model for advertisers
  2. Whilst programmatic trading is becoming the norm for most stakeholders, issues such as ad fraud remain key barriers to increasing investment
  3. Private marketplaces are the dominant trading mechanism used for programmatic
  4. Investments in programmatic are set to continue to increase

The amount of display, mobile and video inventory that agencies and publishers trade programmatically has continued to increase whilst the level of investment from advertisers has seen weaker growth. However, more than 90% of all stakeholder groups state that they think their programmatic investment will increase over the next 12 months.

In actual terms, the European Programmatic Market Sizing Report produced in collaboration with IHS Markit revealed that the total programmatic display advertising market in Europe experienced another year of double-digit growth jumping 27.1% to €12bn in 2017. Pertaining to this growth, 62% of European display ad spend was traded programmatically in 2017. Mobile continues to be the ‘most’ programmatic format as more than 80% of mobile was traded programmatically whilst video catches up – 74.1% of video was traded programmatically. Further, programmatic video is the force behind the growth as it saw 64.6% growth followed by programmatic mobile at 53.2%.

Whilst CEE is still small in size it continues to make large gains and grew by 65% compared to Western Europe which grew by 24%.

In spite of the positive outlook, there are potential warning signs that could impact growth in the future such as not having access to the necessary resources. The attitudes research highlights that advertisers, agencies and publishers all see challenges around recruiting people with the right skill-set as well as providing relevant training to drive their businesses forward.

The ongoing challenges around campaign measurement for advertisers and a focus on sales KPIs for evaluating programmatic investment are also highlighted. This suggests that brand-specific metrics important to advertisers are still not being adequately addressed in a digital environment such as programmatic that has traditionally been direct-response led.

In terms of transaction mechanisms, private marketplaces are being used by the majority of stakeholders. Automated guaranteed is also making progress, utilised by agencies looking to secure more inventory at locked-in pricing, while being less of a focus for advertisers and publishers. As quality inventory increases in demand and becomes harder to identify in a world of auctions, headers, and exchanges, a need to safely procure inventory and guarantee its delivery is emerging.  Indeed, programmatic direct dominates with just over half (53.3%) of programmatic spend transacted in this way.

Attitudes to Programmatic Advertising

European Programmatic Market Sizing

Simon Halstead, Chair, IAB Europe Programmatic Trading Committee and Head of Open Demand, International at Oath said: "In its fourth year, the IAB Europe Attitudes to Programmatic Advertising research demonstrates how automated buying is quickly becoming the mainstream way to buy digital advertising. Investment levels continue to rise, and more advertisers than ever are becoming directly engaged in the process - moving to new ways of buying and working with partners on hybrid models to give them more understanding and control over their spend in this channel, as we see in the growth of private marketplaces. There are still challenges facing the industry, among them GDPR which of course was heavily prevalent on people's minds as the survey was in field, with the need for greater transparency still top of mind for many as progress is made with initiatives like ads.txt and the IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework to provide the groundwork for consumer consent for publishers. Talent is also highlighted as a key challenge, with the changing role of programmatic buying and selling within brands, agencies and publishers putting greater demand on marketers and planners to understand the process and benefits of programmatic more readily as bigger, brand-led advertising is brought together with the capabilities of the algorithms and analytics within platforms to drive greater ROI."

Daniel Knapp, Executive Director TMT, IHS Markit said: “While programmatic was an exciting exception just a few years ago, it has now become ubiquitous as the standard way to transact digital advertising. Our data shows that programmatic captures the lion’s share of market growth. It is already dominant in mobile, and growing strongly in video as more quality inventory becomes available.”

Gerhard Louw, Head of International Media Management and Digital Transformation at Deutsche Telekom said: “Advertisers today are looking to get the greatest possible efficiency, effectiveness, transparency, and flexibility in the way they manage their media investments. As this IAB Europe report clearly shows, Programmatic advertising forms a crucial part of the transformation for large brands to future-proof their media operations in response to the ongoing digitization of the media ecosystem. Although there are still many problems to solve and challenges to face, the report also highlights that advertisers who decide to take more control of the programmatic value chain can enhance the benefits they gain.
With the implementation of our new Media Operating Model (MOM), we at Deutsche Telekom are doing exactly that: increasing active guardianship and control over our paid media placements and outcomes, including in the area of programmatic media. Positioned as a hybrid model, one of the cornerstones of our model include the strengthening the company’s internal competence to ensure media-neutral media strategy, planning & buying.”

Ina Arens, Head of Programmatic Worldwide, MediaCom said: “The programmatic buying of digital inventory still plays a significant role in our client’s media mix. Some of our clients are aiming to invest between 50-70% of their digital media dollars into programmatic. And this year we have seen a welcoming shift towards a focus of transparency, better measurement and quality over quantity.

David Goddard, Global Head of Programmatic Trading, BBC noted: “Programmatic digital buying has witnessed another year of increased investment and growth, coupled with industry challenges, that have encouraged key publishers and tech partners to pull together in order to overcome. I believe that the IAB Europe Attitudes to Programmatic survey is quickly becoming a crucial piece of research, benchmarking not only how the industry have dealt with previous challenges, but also a useful barometer for the year ahead. Overcoming barriers will allow the programmatic ad industry as a whole to maximise ROI and look forward to continued growth into 2019.”

COLOGNE, Germany – 12 September 2018 – IAB Europe, the industry association for the digital advertising ecosystem in Europe, announces the development of the Consent Management Platform (CMP) Validator, a tool that validates whether a CMP’s code conforms to the technical specifications and protocols detailed in the IAB Europe Transparency & Consent Framework (Framework). Developed by The Media Trust, CMP Validator supports CMPs registered with the Framework. While currently in beta, the tool will be available on October 1 this year.

Publishers and tech vendors use CMPs to provide transparency, and collect, store, and, where appropriate, share consent information across the advertising ecosystem in order to ensure compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Today, more than 150 CMPs are registered with the Framework and fall under two categories: (1) those provided for use by multiple publishers and (2) those built in-house by publishers. A CMP’s failure to accurately read and record consumers’ choices could not only subject publishers and their tech vendors to financial penalties but also reduce publishers’ revenue and buyers’ opportunities.

“As processing a user’s personal data in compliance with the GDPR requires close cooperation between players in the advertising ecosystem, setting standards for how data is processed and ensuring the technologies being used are implemented according to those standards will benefit everyone across the digital advertising supply chain,” says IAB Europe CEO Townsend Feehan. “CMP Validator exemplifies our commitment to support the industry’s compliance with GDPR and, in the long run, will help the industry achieve greater transparency and accountability while providing publishers and their users the control and choice they want.”

“As regulations reshape the industry in the coming years, CMP Validator will help companies maintain continuous compliance with the IAB Europe Transparency & Consent Framework and also provide more transparency to users,” says The Media Trust CEO Chris Olson. “Supporting the development and implementation of CMP Validator aligns with our mission to fix the internet by helping industry participants better manage the risks present in their digital environment.”

CMP Validator uses The Media Trust platform to compare CMP code to publicly available Framework specification requirements. Users can test their CMP code and receive real-time insight into any failures. By doing so, they are able to validate their CMP is effectively delivering on its intended benefits. Used industry-wide, the tool will reduce any friction in CMP adoption and give publishers and their digital partners greater confidence in their ability to stay compliant with GDPR.

Third-party verification is a vital step in the cross-industry drive for improved quality standards in digital advertising across Europe

Brussels, 11th September 2018

Today, the European Authority (the operating division of the European Viewability Initiative, resourced by IAB Europe and EACA) announces the appointment of these three independent, media auditing organisations to undertake annual technical measurement audits of any company providing viewability measurement services across Europe. This will enable viewability measurement companies to achieve appropriate European accreditation (via a Certification Seal), recognised by all markets in the region and removing the need for further national accreditation. In turn, it will also complement the drive for higher quality standards in digital advertising across all markets.

This decision follows a Request for Proposals (RFP) process in which seven experienced auditing companies submitted detailed responses. The subsequent RFP evaluation process was led by the key stakeholders of the European Authority with expert support from the Technical Committee, appointed by the European Viewability Steering Group (EVSG).

The approved auditors were determined by a series of factors, including - clear demonstration of expertise and capabilities, sophisticated audit methodology and competitive pricing structure. Each of the 3 auditors will work closely with the European Authority along with the appropriate National Authority (i.e. cross-industry bodies in the UK - JICWEBS, Germany - AGOF/BVDW and France - Digital Ad Trust). In turn, each viewability measurement company will be able to select their preferred auditor.

The European Authority will grant licence agreements to the auditors on the basis of the proposed audit methodology and cost forecasts outlined within the respective RFP submissions. The immediate next step will be the delivery, by each auditor, of an effective ‘real-world’ audit test environment. The European Authority & associated Technical Committee will review and approve each of these test environments in advance of any audits being undertaken.

The purpose of the audits is to evaluate the performance of the technical approach offered by the viewability measurement companies according to the requirements of the European Viewability Measurement Principles (developed and published by the EVSG). Following each audit, the chosen auditor will produce an Evaluation Report – summarising the results to enable the European authority to assess whether a European Seal of Accreditation should be issued for the viewability measurement tool under scrutiny.

In the few markets where a national viewability certification process already exists, the European Authority is working with the relevant stakeholders to ensure a smooth transition and adoption of the European Certification Framework.

This Framework has been designed to offer a consistent solution across all

European markets - irrespective of the existing status quo. In the interests of contributing towards the development of consistent, global standards the European approach should also provide useful guidance for other regions or markets seeking to develop similar solutions.

Quotes on behalf of key stakeholders involved

Alison Fennah, Executive Business Advisor, IAB Europe said: “The appointment of these auditors is the key next step in the implementation of the European Viewability Initiative. Agreed standards and third party auditing are vital for a healthy digital ecosystem and we look forward to measurement companies taking advantage of this certification to drive their business across the region and beyond.”

Jon Chase, Board Director and Chair Media Agencies Council, EACA noted: “EACA remain fully committed to driving improved viewability measurement standards across Europe and beyond. We look forward to partnering with the chosen auditors to undertake Europe-wide audits. In turn, providing cross-industry approved certification of the multiple viewability tools. Another crucial step towards enhanced accountability and trust in digital media metrics.”

Richard Foan, Chair at JICWEBS in the UK added: “By agreeing which auditors are asked to undertake reviews the European Viewability Initiative takes another important step for European harmonisation and simultaneously contributes towards global standards for local markets. JICWEBS will continue to play its part in progressing this initiative and working with other stakeholders to address the remaining transition related questions”

Thomas Duhr (Vice-President at BVDW) said on behalf of the cross-industry team at BVDW-AGOF in Germany: "We are fully supportive of this European Viewability initiative that brings together relevant stakeholders - marketers, media agencies, measurement service providers - to help improve quality assurance across the digital advertising industry. In turn, it will be a key part of the Digital Trust initiative in Germany developed as a basis to establish a uniformly high level of marketing quality.”

Jean-Marie Le Guen (Director General, IAB France) commented on behalf of the Digital Ad Trust in France: “The selection of auditors is a major step in the development of a consistent approach in the auditing of viewability measurement services across Europe. The appointment of carefully selected auditors will provide greater transparency on the market and will allow stakeholders to make sure their viewability measurement tools meet the best performance standards. Digital Ad Trust members are committed to developing transparency and accountability to increase trust and create value for all stakeholders and, as such, fully supports the European Viewability Initiative.”

Valerie Morrisson, Managing Director, CESP, added: “Moving from served to viewable impressions ranks among the top priorities for all stakeholders, as shown in IAB Europe’s annual Report ‘Digital Brand Advertising and Measurement’. I’m pleased to see that EACA and IAB Europe have managed to convince the European countries to join forces to create a pan-European certification process to support this important move for the industry.”

Simon Redlich, Chief Executive at ABC, said: “We’re pleased to be appointed by the European Authority as an independent auditor to support this pan European initiative. Our well established viewability testing processes are recognised for delivering consistent, comparable results and we remain committed to increasing transparency and trust in this area.”

Professor Wolfgang Lehner from GWT-TUD noted: “We are excited to be appointed as one of the official auditors for the European Viewability Initiative. We look forward to providing transparent and objective audits of the viewability measurement tools.”

By John Wittesaele, President, Xaxis EMEA

Xaxis recently competed a research project, in association with IAB Europe we surveyed business leaders in marketing and advertising to find out what they thought of artificial intelligence (AI).

The results are encouraging. They show an industry that appreciates the importance and the challenge of AI. You can download the report here.

But I’d like to take a short break from talking about AI — or just about AI — and turn instead to human intelligence.  Most respondents to our survey said they were ‘somewhat confident’ in their understanding of AI.

But only 16% of advertisers and 15% of those who worked in agencies said they were ‘very confident’. Just 21% of advertisers and 33% of agencies say they’re using AI to drive growth, which is surely the point of almost everything we do in business. And that matters.

From data, to insights, to outcomes

The advertising industry needs AI. There is no way we can make use of the volume of media inventory or the amount of data available to us without it. With AI, we can identify audience segments, build scaled lookalike audiences based on those segments, then deliver tailored content which we optimise and personalise dynamically while the campaign is running.

It’s exciting. This is a great time to work in advertising. But our industry’s conversation is so focussed on artificial intelligence that we run the risk of neglecting something just as important: human intelligence.

To extract value from data, you need to turn it actionable information; something a business can use to achieve a measurable and positive outcome, whether that’s a rise in online conversion rates, driving footfall to stores, or something else. That’s what we do at Xaxis.

Where’s the talent and why should we care?

For that to happen, you need not just AI but also humans with the right skills, knowledge and experience. At the moment, that mainly means data scientists and analysts as well as planners and creatives comfortable working with data. As an industry, we just can’t get enough of these people — literally.

According to research by IBM, US market demand for data scientists is set to rise by 28% between now and 2020. Unless the supply of qualified candidates is increased, roles will go unfilled. The situation is much the same in Europe. A study by the EU Commission estimates that the continent needs to find 346,000 more data scientists by 2020 if vacancies are not to go unfilled.

In such an environment, brands and agencies will undoubtedly find it hard to track down, recruit and retain the data-talent they need to get the most out of their investments in AI.

What we need to do

According to a recent report by a London recruitment agency, entry-level data roles are scarce. 45% of the job listings analysed in the study asked for post-graduate degrees and 64% specified previous work experience in data analysis as a requirement.

The same report found that 93% of data jobs offered a salary that was above the UK median — on average, more than double it. If positions are going unfilled now, even at a salary almost twice the national average, what’s it going to be like in a few years when the number of data- AI-related roles has exploded?

There are two logical responses to this skills gap. The first is for advertisers and agencies to find themselves a partner who can provide access to the necessary data expertise.

Skill clusters are a well-known phenomenon in areas such as engineering and software development. They also operate in AI and data-based industries such as programmatic advertising. Find the right adtech partner, and you’ll have access to just such a cluster, giving you the expertise you need to bridge the skills gap.

The second response is a collective one. We need to change the way we think about the talent pipeline, about who would make a good data-scientist or analyst, and about what qualifications and experience we need. If we don’t, in a few years’ time we’ll find ourselves competing with investment banks, software developers and even the space industry for talent that gets more expensive and harder to find all the time.

So, as well as talking about the AI-revolution — which we cover in this report and which we should all be excited by — let’s also start talking about the human intelligence we need to work alongside AI: where we can find enough of it, how we can recruit it into advertising, and how we can retain it.

To find out more about the challenges the AI revolution is going to throw up for advertisers and the ad industry, download our report in association with IAB Europe.

The IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework is the global cross-industry effort to help publishers, technology vendors, agencies and advertisers meet the transparency and user choice requirements under the General Data Protection Regulation. It has been developed by IAB Europe in collaboration with organisations and professionals in the digital advertising industry.

The Framework has been created to offer flexibility to comply with the law, and provide a means of transmitting signals of consent from a user to third party vendors working with publishers. A registry of vendors has been created as part of the Framework and publishers can use the registry to view which of the vendors they work with are part of it. The Framework enables companies that collect and process data or access consumers’ devices to collect and process data to continue to do so and comply with GDPR law.

Would you like to know the benefits for CMPs? Please download the Factsheet below. 

The aim of the IAB Europe Supply Chain Transparency Guide is to improve transparency in the digital advertising supply chain in the areas of data, cost and inventory source. The guide provides questions for each stakeholder category to be asked at different stages of the supply chain.
