Adform RTB Trend Report Europe Q3 2013
The European programmatic market continued to show signs of growth, health and market stabilisation in the third quarter of 2013. RTB ad spend increased by 31%, and CPMs saw a modest 3% gain.

By September 2013, programmatic buying continued its upward climb, and we believe the true [...]

Video: IPONWEB's Boris Mouzykantskii on 'Unpacking the Black Box' — ATS London 2013
In yet another insightful presentation from IPONWEB’s Boris Mouzykantskii, he pulls back the veil on ad tech, beginning with the evolution of the market, then moving on to a ‘how-to’ on customising technology for advertisers, addressing re-targeting and re-attribution challenges — with a huge one being correlation does not equal causation.

‘A Measured Approach to Display Advertising’, by Adit Abhyankar, Executive Director, Visual IQ
Despite a boom in digital advertising, quantifying online display advertising success is still perplexing many marketers. Not only is the worth of display ads seemingly difficult to measure, but many companies still express scepticism over whether they actually work for their business.
