Digital Publishing: Increasing Advertiser Value Through Data and Identity

About this report

Digital publishers are feeling the pain. They're facing formidable challenges in the form of ad blockers, emerging news delivery platforms, commoditized ad inventory and diminishing CPMs. This report, in association with Signal, explores the capabilities and processes that are vital to creating a better world for consumers, advertisers and publishers.

This report is based on findings from an online survey fielded in August and September of 2015. The research reveals that first and foremost, publishers need to tackle a number of obstacles, including lack of cross-device visitor recognition, sluggish data processing, technology fragmentation and lack of scale. The research also reveals opportunities for publishers. The emergence of true real-time technologies can offer the opportunity to achieve sustained growth with a model built on value instead of volume.
