IAB Ad Technology Council OpenRTB Bill Simmons, DataXu Roland Cozzolino, MediaMath Neal Richter, Rubicon Project April 8, 2013
OpenRTB Mission • Opportunities and risks • Accelerate growth of programmatic buying by providing a reference API for buyers and sellers • Normalize ad tech terms used in RTB to prevent common technology/business blockers (example: confusion about seats, members, buyerID, dealID etc.) • Increase quality and safety by including QAG compliance into OpenRTB • Provide standardized way of providing publisher information to buyers • Seek out and standardize emerging processes in Ad Tech near the RTB ecosystem • Discussion • Need to be clear that IAB is not forcing all RTB buyers to standardize. Participation is optional.
2013 Agenda • Evangelize best practices and uptake of OpenRTB2.1 • Open source bidders • Formal Governance policy • April 9th SF meeting • OpenRTB2.2 • Mobile & Video needs • Order Automation standard • DealID bidding best practices
OpenRTB 2.x Evangelism • OpenRTB 2.x has been out for a year • Some platforms stuck on 1.0 standard • Multi-bid is supported yet has thin implementation. • This has been changing in Q1! • TBD: whitepaper reviewing the RTB protocols vsOpenRTB? • Open Question: How can we push for wider adoption of OpenRTB by the ‘Server2Server’ Mobile API networks?
OpenRTBGovernance The group is considering a proposal to establish formal policy for open governance. • Modeled after Apache policy • Co-Chairs (Participating with IAB) • Project Management Committee • Contributors
OpenRTB 2.2 Mobile/Video • Banner.api (MRAID) • Video.api (VPAID) • More Device types • Adopt Apple’s Advertiser • Hashed MAC Addresses • Use cases and patterns
OpenRTB 2.2 DealID • Standardized DealID extensions • DealID • Buyer/SeatID • Floor price • Deal class/priority • There are many variant DealID extensions to RTB, yet no clear semantics nor consistency. • Best Practices document for bidding and exchange logic • Use cases and patterns
Order Automation API • Common standard for inventory packaging and Order automation • Supports ‘programmatic guaranteed’ • Supersedes March 2012 AIDA draft for inventory packaging API. • The ‘Order/Deal’ desperately needs standardization to complement DealID standardization
