Lecture
The creative is the image of the ad that the user sees and engages with upon viewing. This talk studies the effect of an ad creative’s specifications and quality of render in performance campaigns and suggests a playbook for digital marketers based on the findings and insights. An offline study on an ad creative’s specifications such as resolution, aspect ratio, handset density, device orientation, etc. on fit (slot size x creative size) and quality of the render (blurriness / sharpness, etc.) to provide digital marketers with helpful insights.
Further, exploring the state of the art Super Resolution Generative Adversarial Networks for resolving the ad images so that even with an inventory of ad images that do not fit the slot sizes, these ad images can be super resolved and then served to improve on the performance as against the case where the ad images might be blurred out, otherwise.
Most often, an advertiser shares the same set of creatives with multiple ad networks and programmatic channels. These networks and DSPs then bid for the same impressions from a publisher with those same set of creatives. Needless to say, neither ad networks, nor advertisers benefit from this bidding war.
It’s clear from the above example that Media is a commodity; ad impressions can be bought from any media buying channel. The value being added by an ad network or DSP in this model is in matching demand with supply.
