| You know what I left with last week that I hadn’t expected? Hope. You see, when last March one of the Base Camp sessions proposed “Beeler goes to Washington”, I was skeptical. When it looked like it would actually happen, I thought it would just be photo ops. But when you meet an actual congressperson and they speak intelligently about privacy regulation, you realize there are people who care. The people we met with heard us and they want to hear from us again. It was incredible. Scott Messer did a recap of our trip that’s a must-read. We’ll be following up with the people we met, and I hope we become a resource for them. DC was amazing, but the cherry on top is the response to our upcoming events. People are signing up for Base Camp Edinburgh and the agenda is evolving. All we did was announce Navigator on November 2, and the response has been fantastic. Base Camp next March has had such a great start, we’ll be able to work with attendees on the agenda well in advance. Raise your hand for any of these events and get in on the ground floor! |

| The Buy-Side at Base Camp Edinburgh Understanding how best to work with the buy side is critical to our jobs as publishers. At Base Camp, we’re curating timely discussions with top thought leaders from agencies and brands so that you come away with a well-rounded understanding of how we can move our businesses forward. Here’s just some of what you’ll hear in Edinburgh. Richard Nicolson, Head of Dentsu Media Exchange, Dentsu on Made for Advertising Sites Richard is charged with securing the best impressions for Dentsu’s clients and looks forward to when publishers with high-quality audiences and inventory win out over arbitrage websites. In this session, he’ll share his perspective as a buyer on sites built for advertising and the importance of quality content. Retail Data’s Place in Publisher Strategies with Gordon Eldrett, Media Director UK, Circana Retail data will only increase in value as the third-party cookie reign comes to an end. This discussion will focus on publishers’ relationship with retail data and retail media companies, and we’ll hear from Gordon Eldrett, Media Director UK for Circana– the world’s leading advisor on the complexities of consumer behavior. You won’t want to miss this insightful conversation. Learn more about Base Camp and request an invite. Navigator NYC We’ve set the date (Nov 2) and the place (NYC) and now the fun begins of assembling the agenda. You already know some of the main topics we’ll cover, so we’ll just share some things we’re thinking about: – More roundtable-ish sessions vs lectures. We actually suspect we’ll have some whiteboarding going on space permitting. – Ample opportunity to network. Like all-day-type stuff. – Direct sold advertising will be a focal point throughout the day. Rob came up with some questions he’d like to see some sessions address: – Can digital advertising help the world we live in? – How will I get traffic to my site in the future? – What is my inventory worth? – Is there a creative way forward with creative? – Why can’t 2024 be a great year for publishers?
