The Tao Of Gary Milner
The Lenovo digital marketing chief made a strong case against open RTB during his opening keynote at the Programmatic Insider Summit in Scottsdale, AZ. Actually, Milner said, “I hate the word RTB.”The reason, he said, is “because real-time bidding drives you down a path of auction-based media-buying.”From Milner’s POV, the real value of programmatic media is the ability to use software and data about users and media to find better and more cost efficient ways of reaching the consumer.
