| The Beeler.Tech Community Slack blew up (in a good way) last week. The topic was, “If publishers defined MFA, what would it look like?” I hope the thread never stops because it’s an absolutely amazing discussion on the state of advertising. I needed more time to collect all my thoughts this weekend (Easter + AdTech Economic Forum & Navigator NYC prep), but I’ll share some quotes I came across while writing notes down: “Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.” – C.S. Lewis “Cost is more important than quality but quality is the best way to reduce cost.” – Genichi Taguchi “Make a customer, not a sale.” – Katherine Barchetti All of these should apply to your strategy. The fact is that some publishers fairly have to be concerned about how close to the MFA line they come. I think they have to decide if that’s a sustainable strategy. I would work to be far enough above that line that it’s no longer a discussion. Let’s focus on ways in which quality and integrity are rewarded. “It’s the users’ data. It’s the publishers’ relationship. It’s the advertisers’ money.” – Rob Beeler |

| New Sessions Announced: The State Of Floor Price Optimization Jounce‘s research identifies ways in which publishers, wrappers, and SSPs modify the floor prices that are declared to DSP buyers and explains the business benefits and risks of dynamic floor price optimization. Chris Kane will provide his perspective on best practices for publishers, SSPs, and DSPs, and will field questions about the second-order effects of dynamic flooring. Niche Publishers: What Success Looks Like In an industry built to reward scale over scarcity, publishers who build sites for specific audiences find that the ad tech ecosystem doesn’t work for them. But with the disruption ahead, perhaps there is a way to succeed based on their relationship with their users. Justin Barton, SVP, Digital Strategy & Partnerships at Black Enterprise, will lead a discussion about finding success based on the relationship with your users.
