Ad automation, programmatic trading and data-driven advertising has revolutionized digital ad trading over the last ten years. Is television next? What lessons from digital will be carried over to TV?

Advertising Week Trust Forum The Year of Transparency: THE ANA ON TRUST & TRANSPARENCY… COME OUT, COME OUT, WHEREVER YOU ARE, September 28, 2016, New York City
It reads like a Tom Clancy thriller. Backroom deals. Offshore operating companies. Multiple entities to hide cash, free media and “consulting” contracts. Little has rocked agency-land more in the last year than the ANA’s campaign to shine a bright light on non-transparent practices exercised by agencies upon clients. The ANA says the practice cuts across TV to OOH to digital media and from traditional buying to data-driven programmatic.
In June, New York Post’s Page Six said “Bob Liodice may want to think about bringing a food taster with him if he decides this week to attend Cannes Lions.” Now with the ANA’s recommended best practices, is it simply caveat emptor for advertisers? Or can there be enough trust to put the “agent” back into “ad agency”?
A wide ranging discussion between the ANA change-maker and a programmatic old-hand on finding what’s good and charting a path forward that creates the greatest value.
