The Future of Exchanges:
Upcoming Trends

Google Confidential
Trend 1: Audience
Nothing drives value like users

Before: Buyer-driven
Now: Publisher-supported
● Create User Segments
● Across Devices (PPID)

Google Confidential
Trend 2: 1st Party Data
Not just Audience

Before: drives significant value only in direct
Now: also for programmatic
● Combining data signals multiplies targeting
● Already powerful in deals, soon to be powerful for advertisers

Google Confidential
Trend 3: Programmatic Direct
Efficiency, but also larger market reach

Before: two distinct types of selling
Soon: spectrum of selling
Sidebar: definition of Programmatic Direct

• The market is unsure of implementation, but it’s inevitable
o Cost reduction
o Revenue uplift (for sellers and buyers)
