FACEBOOK Facebook has been hit with antitrust investigations in New York, Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee and the District of Columbia. "I am proud to be leading a bipartisan coalition of attorneys general in investigating whether Facebook has stifled competition and put users at risk," said New York Attorney General Letitia James. “We will use every investigative tool at our disposal to determine whether Facebook's actions may have endangered consumer data, reduced the quality of consumers' choices, or increased the price of advertising.” A separate investigation of Google’s practices by states led by Texas is expected to be announced today. In more friendly Facebook news, the social media giant launched its Dating service in the U.S. last week, allowing users to integrate Instagram posts, and by year’s end Facebook and Instagram Stories, into their Dating profiles. A “Secret Crush” feature also allows users to share a list of Facebook and Instagram followers they have their eye on, and if both users have chosen each other, they’ll be notified they’re a match Facebook unveiled new tools and updates for Messenger. While still in testing phase, one feature affords real-time appointment booking through Messenger that allows businesses to integrate their existing calendar booking software to power booking. Also, a new lead generation template is designed to make it easier for businesses to create automated experience to help qualify leads within Messenger. From there, they can continue conversation with potential customers in Messenger and integrate with existing CRM tools to track leads. In addition to these new tools, Facebook is also updating some of Messenger’s platform policies with a goal toward encouraging more personalized and relevant conversations between businesses and consumers.
ADVERTISING Programmatic video platform Tremor Video has expanded its demand-side platform’s AI and machine-learning technology. “No two campaigns are alike, and each deserves its own neural network to act on its behalf in real-time, consistently ensuring the best price per performance, and providing advertisers with the most effective platform in the market,” said Tal Mor, CTO at Tremor Video. “Our team of engineers and data scientists have worked vigorously to create a self-learning system that personalizes campaign buying behavior in order to pinpoint the most suitable audience out of billions of potential impressions.” The DSP evaluates high-value opportunities for brands and agencies with the goal of improving their cross-platform video and connected TV campaign performance. Xandr, AT&T’s advanced advertising and analytics company, has launched Xandr Monetize, a strategic selling platform built on the foundation of AppNexus technology. Xandr Monetize gives publishers and media owners the control to navigate the consumer journey and client relationships, to offer content owners improved monetization through better inventory management capabilities, data-driven yield optimization, and differentiated buyer demand. “With the size, scale, and resources of AT&T, we are uniquely positioned to offer the scaled, streamlined selling platform the industry needs,” said Ryan Christensen, SVP of Product, Xandr. According to a recent study from the ARF, consumers are slightly less likely to share their data in 2019 compared to last year. The study’s sample, which was balanced by age, demo and region, also measured trust and how it varied by demo group and forms of privacy on digital, mobile vs. PC usage, and trust in institutions. This shift in consumer attitude is a harbinger of to come as the American market faces legal restrictions not only globally from the GDPR but also nationally from the California Consumer Protection Act (CCPA), which as Paul Donato, Chief Research Officer at the ARF explains, is soon going into effect, allowing, “consumers to opt-out of the sale of their personal information to third parties, not to mention the other upcoming state and federal regulations that could impact the ad tech industry.” For more on the study, go to Cynsiders. Tablets are the best-performing device when it comes to back-to-school campaigns, according to new data from people-based marketing platform LiveIntent. The study found that tablets had a 50% higher CTR compared to PCs and phones, and that afternoons are best, with the most clicks and conversions occurring between 12pm and 6pm. As for days of the week, Fridays and Sundays are the best days for clicks and conversions while mid-week and mid-weekend are the worst days. Wednesdays and Saturdays proved to be the worst days for these campaigns, coming in last in the amount of clicks and conversions. The IAB Tech Lab has come up with a solution for standardizing data collection and improving privacy settings. The “standardized identifier” would be set up as a public utility, and improve the way advertisers identify audiences without giving away information about individuals. Companies that want to access the standardized identifier would have to agree to conditions like “consistently demonstrate compliance to the privacy preferences.” Amazon has expanded availability for its Amazon Attribution tool, which allows brands to track whether clicking on Facebook and Google ads led to an Amazon purchase. “Sales attribution and return on investment (ROI) measurement no longer have to come in the form of a post-campaign report. Amazon Attribution enables on-demand access to conversion reporting,” said the company in a blog post. “Brands can sign in to the console and pull reporting at their convenience or schedule reporting at their preferred cadence. The sooner marketers can access attribution metrics for live campaigns, the faster they’re able to optimize those campaigns to help maximize ROI and limit wasteful impressions.” |
