Context, Creativity, Control

Throw as many robots and algorithms as you like at online display advertising, marketers continue to value most aligning themselves with trusted media, reliable contexts, and guaranteed placements. Contexts, creativity, control will continue to matter even as the automated buy and real-time targeting dominate our attention. But the premium display market is under a range of pressures as the share of advertising spend on traditional banners declines, demand side platforms offer cheap alternatives, and video and mobile platforms further fragment the market.

At OMMA Premium Display in Los Angeles we ask both buyers and sellers how they are meeting all of these challenges. What place do premium contexts and high impact ad units have in a world of DSPs in cheap inventory? Are premium contexts and creativity really proving out their value, and by what measure? Do well hyped alternatives like native ad formats and display advertising on devices represent salvation or a sideshow? And in the end, is the brand money really flowing at long last to video rather than all of those snazzy variations on the display ad unit?

We already know that there always will be a role for premium advertising in digital media. At OMMA Premium Display we ask what shape that role will take, how large it might be, and on which screens it will be seen.
