Amid a push for supply-path optimization (SPO), demand-side platforms are going directly to publishers and, in many cases, cutting out supply-side platforms in the process.

We email marketers are always searching for easier ways to do our jobs. We don’t want to skimp on quality, but we have had to learn how to do a lot with a little because we’re chronically understaffed and underfunded.

I lost a cookbook the other day. After twenty more minutes of searching, there it was, right on the cookbook shelf. But the spine was much more subtle than the cover, and it hadn’t been what I was looking for or expecting. We spend a lot of time on our (metaphorical) book covers. That first impression, the way we tell our story or introduce ourselves or earn the sale.

They might be perpetuating bad choices, injustice or sub-optimal outputs. The best way to fix something is to look at what we assume is the ‘right’ starting spot. In persistent systems, it might be difficult to change the default setting, but knowing what it is and how it got there is a great place to begin.
Advertisers are getting serious about cutting carbon from their campaigns. But before publishers can make their ad tech greener, they have to measure their emissions to create an accurate foundation for building a sustainability strategy upon. However, measurement and consulting can be expensive.

Autotune has transformed commercial music, and the new AI grammar tools make it trivially easy to make edits or find errors.

It’s a tempting shortcut. Different kinds of people prefer pop tarts to pizza, or prefer expensive wine to beer, or prefer amusement parks to bowling.

How do we know if we’re doing a good job? In some fields, it’s always been pretty easy to tell. Either the building falls down or it doesn’t.

But endeavors with crisp measurements often don’t attract people looking for a different sort of work.
