AdMonsters Meetup: Extension Initiation

Extension Initiation: Learn How Pubs Got Their Programs Rolling

You might have noticed audience extension popping up increasingly as a line item in RFPs – an Audience Accelerator-Digiday survey from last year found 50% of publishers are offering extension while 54% of advertisers are planning to boost their extension budgets. Jumping on the audience extension train requires more than just adding a line item – at AdMonster’s Meetup, Thursday, June 26 at 5:30 p.m. at Trulia’s San Francisco offices (116 New Montgomery St., Floor 9), representatives from Trulia, CBS Interactive and RGM will share the strategies and tactics that helped them launch their extension programs.

Sponsored by Audience Accelerator, we invite publishers and agencies to come and discuss partnering with sales and developing marketing language; working with clients; selecting the appropriate partner (or partners); and campaign optimization. Afterwards, network with your peers on the supply and demand sides over drinks and tasty morsels.

And hey – before you come, prep with AdMonsters’ latest playbook, “Putting Audience Extension Into Action,” as well as our wealth of materials on the topic here. 

5:30 p.m.: Doors Open, Drinks and Networking

6:15 – 7:00 p.m.: Panel Discussion

7:00 p.m. – 8 p.m.: Drinks and Networking
