In the world of digital advertising, automation increases efficiency, which leads to higher business profitability. When sales and ad operations teams can get away from using spreadsheets and manual data-entry, they can focus on more strategic tasks that contribute to business and revenue growth. But how much growth is actually possible? We now have the historical data to answer that question.
The world’s largest publishers use Operative as their Advertising Operating System to sell, deliver, and invoice across various forms of media. We pulled 5+ years of real data from Operative’s internal system across our premium client base, which includes 50 of the comScore Top 100.
