- Look at major disruptive trends in digital media
buying
- Evolution created ecosystem complexity & until
introduction of programmatic buying, resulted in
price deprecation & brand control challenges
- What's unique about trends is focus on
advertiser, low investment on pub side, shift to
non-guaranteed and science of display, limited
neutral players

This is the most overused slide in the industry.
But it helps to illustrate the complexity & fragmentation of industry
Which is where we find our opportunity to simplify, organize and drive growth &
efficiencies of media buying and selling

AdFin: Actionable Analytics for the Entire
Ecosystem
1. Advertisers: millions of $$ to reach consumers through many channels;
demanding accountability; want a comprehensive view of their business & the
performance of their many vendors/partners
2. Agencies are beholden to their advertisers and dependent on their media
suppliers and technology partners; lack of trust as evidenced by lack of
commitment to a single provider
3. ATD's are programmatic arm who are sorting out tech partners; demand
accountability and transparency
4. DSP's SSPs are fighting for market share from their respective customer base;
hungry for marketplace analytics and competitive benchmarks; mistrust of their
supply sources
5. Exchanges are facilitators of the transaction without necessarily serving the buy
or sell side; lots of data, challenges understanding duplicative sources
6. AppNexus straddles exchanges and DSP's and has its own box
7. Ad Networks are fighting to remain relevant and playing catch up in the
automation game.
ADFIN HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS EACH OF THESE SEGMENTS WITH
REVENUE GENERATING SOLUTIONS
Data providers and DMP's provide interesting partnership opportunities, provided we
use caution as they could develop into competitors — more on that later
There are also a number of very valuable integration points as we develop the
stickiness and scale of our platform, releasing trading connections & functionality
