Good morning!

We have an interesting case study for you today that shows how free weather app, WeatherBug, leveraged InMobi’s unified auction (UA) model to increase their ad revenue by 20%.

When moving to a UA, the time it took for WeatherBug to serve an in-app ad also decreased by 44% and they were able to remove six software development kits.

Also, we have all the key martech takeaways from this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES).

One screen for many, Amazon in cars, foldable laptops and Spotify Podcast Ads, were some of the main highlights from the festival in Las Vegas.

Who are the most influential leaders in marketing technology?

With the Oscars just around the corner, we thought we’d get into the act as well!

We want to recognize the most influential people in marketing technology (martech) and need your help doing it.

Is it Adobe’s Ann Lewnes, Salesforce’s Stephanie Buscemi, or is Scott Brinker still the tech industry’s most prominent figure?

We couldn’t think of a better jury than you, our loyal readers.

So take our survey here and let us know who your top 5 picks, along with a very short description why?

Feel free to nominate yourself. All responses are anonymous and we will be writing up the results over the next couple of weeks.
