Whether you are an advertiser or a publisher, Kochava has your lift needs covered
The multifaceted realm of digital advertising technology is a tale of two entities: advertisers and publishers. While both are engaged and intertwined within the same ecosystem, each has distinct perspectives and challenges as well as goals and strategies. Let’s take a look at some of these.
Advertisers vs. Publishers
Advertiser Viewpoint
- Values volume and overlap of impressions and influences
- Needs to gauge overall contribution and value of publishers
Advertiser Objectives
- Identify which platforms or mediums yield the highest conversions
- Navigate the maze of ad spend efficiency
- Assess the true incremental impact of campaigns
Publisher Viewpoint
- Wants to account for every impression they serve
- Needs effective measure for ads while respecting privacy constraints
- Must optimize targeting strategies and ad placements continuously and dynamically
Publisher Objectives
- Demonstrate value and contribution to advertisers
- Maximize the value of each ad impression
- Stay relevant and competitive in an increasingly saturated market
Both entities, while operating in the same space, have diverging viewpoints and requirements. With powerful tools for measurement and optimization tailored to each group’s distinct needs, Kochava is unique among mobile and omni-channel measurement providers in profoundly understanding this intricate dynamic.
