Layser Targeted
Stephanie Layser, former Information Corp VP of advert tech, knowledge and id merchandise, joined Amazon Net Companies a 12 months in the past as international head of writer advert tech options. And he or she simply recorded a podcast with Marketecture about what she’s been as much as and why she selected AWS. (Amazon Advertisements would have been the intuitive transfer.)
Previously 12 months, AWS lit a hearth below advert tech growth, launching customized knowledge clear rooms and, lately, a build-your-own bidder product.
One thorny query for Layser: Ought to publishers be paid for the contextual promoting knowledge that’s routinely scraped from their websites? (There is no such thing as a authorized obligation, in spite of everything.)
“I don’t know what the reply is, however I give it some thought rather a lot, and it stresses me out.”
A method AWS might help publishers is by collapsing waste within the on-line advert provide chain – not simply the ‘advert tech tax’ however precise compute energy waste – by commoditizing level answer merchandise.
