DESCRIPTION

Presented at the October 2013 Digiday Agency Summit in Miami. As we approach the 19th anniversary of the first banner ad, Digital Media Planning is entering its third age. First, we had the “Guilded” Age. Then came the Machine Age. Recent announcements by AOL, Yahoo and Microsoft herald the start of a new era: the Bionic Age. As with every seismic shift, there will be winners and losers.

Are You Ready for the Bionic Age

of Digital Media?

Hotwired served up the first banner ad for AT&T

on Oct. 27, 1994

The “Guilded” Age

Advertising inventory was purchased in large batches at negotiated rates expressed in contracts called insertion orders, just like in print. These early digital media artisans soon joined together and established the guilds that became known as digital media agencies. Like medieval guilds, they closely guarded their trade secrets and only passed them down to their apprentices.

The Machine Age

The Machine Age introduced astonishing efficiency through real-time bidding on ad exchanges. Instead of humans taking weeks to plan and execute a campaign through an insertion order, machines purchased impressions at auctions that took place in the milliseconds before a browser loaded your Web page.
