Blasto

☄ Psst…From BizzClick to Blasto. A Story of Big Transformation. For over 14 years, BizzClick was a long-standing player in programmatic advertising, and knew it was time for a real change… That's when BLASTO came into the story. This bold new name reflected their commitment to blasting through limitations posed by adtech and moving programmatic advertising forward. But the transformation wasn't just about a new name. Blasto was all about INNOVATION, using AI and the latest technology to create a smarter platform. They shifted their focus from general performance marketing to leading the way in programmatic advertising for CTV and in-app inventory. That's the vision Blasto was working toward. The team behind Blasto wasn't just experienced, they were enthusiasts. They saw themselves as "programmatic geeks" of a new advertising ERA. This rebrand was a COMMITMENT. Blasto pledged to use their knowledge and skills to become a reliable force in the world of programmatic advertising. The chapter of BizzClick may be closed, but the story of Blasto, a LEADER in programmatic advertising, has just begun. #programmatic #adtech #rebrand

🚨 Big reveal! Google’s thoughts on header bidding. Documents unsealed before the upcoming Google antitrust trial reveal a lot about how Google viewed header bidding and its own products 📄 Header bidding started about a decade ago. It was a way for publishers to bypass Google's ad server and its exchange. Google saw this as a threat and launched DFP First Look to counteract it. While Google claimed this was good for publishers, internal documents show it was mostly beneficial for Google. But Google didn’t stop there. In 2016, they started beta-testing "Open Bidding" to counter header bidding. This was portrayed as a publisher-friendly move, but according to the DOJ, it was more about limiting competition ⚖️ Even though Google later gave up some of its advantages, internal emails show they were aware of the significant benefits they had from their practices. For example, they predicted a 21% revenue loss from giving up their last-look advantage in their auctions. Now, all eyes are on the courtroom on September 9th 👀 #DigitalAdvertising #AdTech #HeaderBidding #Google
