Navigating Programmatic Media with the ANA’s Programmatic Media Supply Chain Transparency Study

The ANA released its full Programmatic Media Supply Chain Transparency Study and once again, it is full of thorough and detailed research with actionable recommendations for advertisers.

The key headline: “There is some $22 billion in efficiency gains available to the client-side marketer community.”

The report outlines 12 categories with detailed findings and provides recommendations for improvement across all 12. It has been described as a 'playbook for advertisers wanting to understand and improve results in programmatic'.

With all this insight, the challenge for advertisers is not what to do (the report provides plenty of guidance), the challenge is to know where to start.

There’s no obvious 'one size fits all' solution. Where your brand needs to focus will undoubtedly look different from other brands.

On this episode of #MediaSnack LIVE, we were joined once again by Bill Duggan from the ANA and were thrilled to welcome special guest Brad Moranchek, Sr. Director of Global Media at Kimberly Clark and one of the brand leaders who participated in the study.

We answered questions advertisers have about the report findings and got a closer look at how this study helped inspire change at Kimberly Clark.

We also gave steps advertisers can take to discover how much of that $22 BILLION pie could be theirs for the taking!

Marketers want better agency pitches; ones that are value-creation exercises and where everyone joins together in a race to the top.

Agency CEOs take pitching for new clients very seriously. Some might argue its actually what motivates them more than anything else. Most agency leaders are judged by their ability to grow and the best way to do that of course is to win lots of new clients and so they build big teams and apply big resources to do just that.

Agencies make huge investments in winning new clients, involving many hours of management, finance, strategy, buying and support teams. A lot of the (carbon-intensive) business travel has thankfully been cut from the pitch process, but they can still take a lot of people’s time. Usually, the CEO sees this as the cost of the pitch, but its not wasted, as pitches can have a momentum effect in the agency; they bring diverse teams together to solve problems, they build relationships, trust and positivity, no matter what the end result.

Poor feedback leaves agency leaders frustrated and a little embarrassed; they have no words of encouragement for their tired teams, they have no awareness of where they left gaps and they have no idea how to do things differently in the future. This is a failure of a pitch process for everyone.

Better Pitches = Better Partnerships!

On this episode of #MediaSnack LIVE, we explore some key questions around the future of the creative and media agency pitch. 
Featuring guest speakers from leading trade associations, agency leadership and major advertisers:

• Matt Kasindorf -- SVP, Business Intelligence & Insight at the 4A's
• Nicholas Louisson -- Director of Agency Services at ISBA
• Greg Wright -- SVP,  Brand & Media at the ANA

We give listeners some tips on improving the pitch experience for all.
