In the latest episode of the Pub Way, our hosts Tina Iannacchino and Mike Villalobos engage in an insightful conversation with Keith Gooberman, CEO, and Co-Founder of Pontiac Intelligence. The episode primarily explores the rapidly evolving landscape of contextual advertising, especially within the realm of Connected TV. Keith elaborates on how integrating AI technology is transforming contextual advertising by parsing video content to deliver detailed, emotion-driven context. This shift is moving beyond generic web-based inventory categorizations to more nuanced, precise data, greatly enhancing the effectiveness of advertising on CTV platforms. During the episode, he underscores Demand Side Platforms (DSPs) need to adapt by focusing on private marketplace (PMP) deals, which can offer more effective data management without relying on cookies.
Keith and the Pontiac team will be hosting the 2024 Pontiac Summit in NYC on October 8th, bringing together industry leaders across the ecosystem for a day of engaging discussions and interactive networking.
