PUBLISHERS BATTLE RISING TRANSACTION COSTS DESPITE THE MOVE TOWARDS AUTOMATED BUYING SYSTEMS

Rising transaction costs due to inefficient processes remain a challenge for most publishers despite the shift towards more automated buying systems, according to new data unveiled by FatTail.

In our recent survey of senior revenue and ad operations professionals at leading publishers, we gained a detailed understanding of how technology can more efficiently support their internal processes. The research showed that key pain points for publishers are linked to a lack of time and resources for teams to complete higher level, revenue-driving work.

60% of respondents agreed “there is not enough time or resources to service customers in the way that they expect or that the business demands.”
