Leading Operations Online
“The world is getting smaller and more global, and more companies from small to large are doing business across borders,” says Jay Lauf, Publisher of The Atlantic’s new mobile-specific news site Quartz. “Global business professionals, almost by definition, are very mobile, very tech savvy, and very connected. They need things to be always on as they cross time zones.”
As the world’s attention becomes increasingly divided, traditional publishers have learned to follow their audiences across multiple screens. However, the multiscreen approach was quite apt for Atlantic Media Company as it sought to nourish a growing audience segment - global business professionals juggling multiple devices.
“At Atlantic Media Company, we look at spaces adjacent to our properties that don’t do exactly the same thing,” Lauf explains. “As we surveyed our market, we saw one demographic growing in both numbers and importance: global business professionals. So, we came up with a product to serve that market and to serve it in a way that is...

The debate over viewability rages on; and, if you've been around AdMonsters lately, you know there are quite a few views on viewable impressions. Our U.S. Editor, Gavin Dunaway, dove into the viewability fray at a viewability panel discussion at Digital Brand Forum in New York a couple weeks ago, where metrics and standardization were big topics.

In a world where brand advertisers can't rely on clicks to accurately measure the impact of their online display campaigns, a different method of attribution needs to be employed. This is where post-impression tracking comes into play. And this is why advertisers seem to be asking for post-impression tracking more often these days: they need a better way to attribute the results of their ad campaigns.
