The most frequent sentence I hear



                       We’re planning on
                       We’re
                        monetizing our
                           apps thru
                         advertising.

                                101010101111010100010




Largest amount of ad dollars.     Small but increasing.
5




First: Where do I start?


                               Join an ad network

Simplicity                                               Amount $$
                                                          you keep
                                  Hire a rep firm



                               Sell inventory directly

Note: Not mutually exclusive
6




The amount of $$ you keep


  Advertiser                  Publisher


               Frictionless


                                 * example publisher
7




The amount of $$ you keep


  Advertiser              Publisher




               Friction
                  %
8




The cost of friction
9

Second: Does your size
matter?


 Ron would say yes.

 Darren says mostly no;
 opportunities are limited which
 creates artificial short-term demand.
10




While we’re on size...


 There are standard ad sizes:

   IAB (
   http://www.iab.net/iab_products_and_industry_services/1421/1443/1452)



   OPA (http://www.online-publishers.org)
11


    Third: Evolution of the paid [digital]
    ecosystem


                                                    Ad Networks


                                                       Google
                   Sell Side
                  Optimizers/
                   Platform
                                                   Ad Exchanges


                                                DSP Direct Integration
Note: Just a portion of the companies in each
                    sector
12




                             Image from Demdex




Your media is good; w/data better
13




Remember, w/o Data: Your Traditional
    Inventory Is a Commodity
14


Fourth: Thoughts on an ad supported
business


 Unless your advertisement options are non-traditional, a fully
 ad-supported business has a very slim chance of surviving
 without significant scale.

 If you have non-traditional units, an internal sales force will sell
 best.

 Treat ad agencies as you would venture capitalists.
 Your presentations should be short, to the point, and slick.
15




Fifth: The biggest mistake



 Pricing too low to get a deal can actually hurt your chances of
 receiving an insertion order (IO)

   Perception
16

Evolution of an
advertisement

Editor's Notes

  1. Clams. Dinero. Benjamins. It’s all about the money as Nucky Thompson likes to say.
  2. Not necessarily a bad thing, but plenty of web (inclusive of mobile) companies are looking to generate ad revenue without a full strategy.
  3. There are a lot of marketing and advertising technology companies who would like to help you drive advertising dollars. It’s only getting worse.
  4. Two ways to generate revenue from advertising: the old-school way but relationship driven (human led) and the newer friction-less programmatic way (via API’s)
  5. Direct relationships are always best because it removes friction. Generate relationship + keep majority of dollars.
  6. Anytime there is a middleman, the middleman is compensated in some capacity. Also, the middleman might remove the relationship between the advertiser + publisher.
  7. The cost of friction is FOCUS. Friction allows you to concentrate on other things which might be right for an early stage company who needs to ship product.
