Quiz time
Let’s talk about 
data in RTB 
• 50 billion impressions per day 
• 200 variables per impression 
• 100 values per variable 
= 1,000,000,000,000,000 
pieces of data per day 
(1015 = ONE QUADRILLION)
That’s a whole lot of data. 
How do we manage this?
Unlocking the chaos
The two buyer questions that matter: 
©2014 MEDIAMATH INC. 12 
Question 1: 
What is the right bid for each 
impression? 
Question 2: 
Which impressions should I buy?
What price should I pay? 
What is the right bid for each impression? 
Too high 
Overpay & 
underperform 
Too low 
Lose out & 
underspend 
Just right 
Maximise scale & 
performance
Question 1: A simple exercise 
What is the right bid for each impression? 
JPY1000 prize 
JPY500 
Flip a coin to 
win the prize 
50% chance Bid Price 
Goal Value x Action Rate = Bid Price
Question 1: The real thing 
What is the right bid for each impression? 
Goal Value x Action Rate = Bid Price 
1% chance consumer 
takes desired action 
(purchase) 
Bid for an RTB ad 
¥5000 value to 
advertiser 
(CPA) 
¥50 bid price 
(breakeven)

Answering Question 1: 
Video 
Publisher: YouTube 
Unit: 15 sec pre roll 
Time: 16.46 – 17.00 
Age: 25-34 
Gender: Male 
Price: JPY1500 
A different model for every creative in every 
campaign of every advertiser – all in real time! 
Social 
Publisher: FBX 
Unit: Newsfeed 
Day: Tuesday 
Time: 5.00pm – 5.15pm 
Price: JPY300 
Display 
Publisher: Rubicon 
Data: Rakuten Male 
Location: Tokyo 
Creative size: 160 x 600 
Price: JPY300
Question 2: Which impressions should I buy? 
• ~100MM/day of RTB 
supply 
• Typical campaign 
spends ~$1K/day 
(0.001% of total 
supply) 
• Not buying the RIGHT 
0.001% is throwing 
money away
Answering Question 2: Defining value 
Bid Price 
Market Price 
What it’s worth to me 
What I have to pay 
Relative 
= = Value 
• Cheap impressions are not 
necessarily good 
• Good impressions are not 
necessarily cheap
The benefits 
Buy in batch Buy what you want 
Fixed price, regardless of value Variable bidding, aligned with value 
Little/no insight into true drivers Full insights into “what” & “why” 
Manual, labor-intensive 
(~50/FTE) 
Fully automated, scalable (~5/FTE) 
Analyze 10-20 buys weekly Analyze 1MM opps. per sec. 
And the results are typically 10x better
Key learnings 
• Create a strategic programmatic vision 
• Set a true goal 
• Ensure access to maximum amount of supply 
• Ensure the ability to onboard data sets
Key learnings 
• Utilise a world-class algorithm 
• Use a predictive model to determine what each 
impression is worth 
• Use optimisation to determine which impressions 
to bid for 
• Provide meaningful and relevant analysis to 
your client 
• Build a knowledgeable and capable team
