III. PROGRAMMATIC – SEEING THROUGH THE FINANCIAL FOG (11:40 – 12:15PM)
With the rapid adoption of programmatic media, the supply chain has quickly become complicated — agencies, trading desks, demand-side platforms, supply-side platforms, data management platforms, exchanges, publishers — and to many, the result is a financial "fog." ANA, ACA (Association of Canadian Advertisers), AD/FIN Solutions, and Ebiquity PLC commissioned a study to investigate the costs and economics of the programmatic ecosystem and explore the lack of transactional transparency in many programmatic buys. This was reported by multiple advertisers and highlighted in last year's K2 Intelligence study on media transparency in the U.S. advertising industry. In this session, we will reveal key findings from this programmatic study and provide action steps for marketers.

Speaker:
Andrew Altersohn, Chief Executive Officer – AD/FIN Solutions

III. #INSPIREDBYDATA: CONNECTING THE DOTS BETWEEN DATA & CREATIVE (12:45-1:25PM)

IV. 2017 BOT BASELINE KEY FINDINGS: FRAUD IN DIGITAL ADVERTISING (1:25 – 2:00PM)
For the third year in a row, ANA partnered with White Ops to measure bot fraud (i.e., non-human traffic). Forty-nine ANA members deployed White Ops detection tags on their digital advertising; all participants received proprietary information specific to their buys while the aggregate data is reported to the industry. Results show that fraud is especially high in programmatic advertising and sourced traffic. The 2017 Bot Baseline report encourages advertisers to take an active role in the fight against fraud and offers a number of proactive ideas to help.
