3   Big Things
• Thing #1: Averages Lie
          •      Think smaller!



• Thing #2: Real Time Bidding
  (RTB) is Huge
          •      Because it’s small!



• Thing #3: High Velocity Testing
  has Come of Age
     •        Allowing us to think small!

Thing #2: Real Time Bidding

is really, really      BIG…
                              • $2B RTB ad spend in 2012
                              • $13.9B expected in 2016
                              • 88% YOY growth in RTB inventory (Q3
                                2012 vs. Q3 2011)
                              • Fastest growing segment of digital
                                advertising
                              • Mobile represents 15% of total RTB
                                inventory




APPNATION IV

Before Real Time Bidding, you could only buy big groups
of impressions.
                       Non-RTB = ‘Buying Big’

                        Pricing = $.65 CPM
                        for a ‘Big’ group of
                            impressions


                       1 price for MANY DIFFERENT:
                       • Apps
                       • Countries
                       • Devices

What do you bid for this big group of impressions with so many
different variables?

RTB: the ultimate de-averaging tool
                Non-RTB = ‘Buying Big’         RTB Pricing = ‘Buying Small’
                                                 $.79    $.32     $.24       $1.90

Common thread = granularity = getting small
