We're so glad that you found your Edge, jay!
Excited to share that I’ve successfully completed the Marketing Foundations course from The Trade Desk Edge! Earning this certification has been an insightful journey, deepening my understanding of the programmatic ecosystem and the innovations shaping digital advertising today. 💡 Key Learnings from the Course: ✔ Ad Group Structure & Optimization Flexibility – Unlike platforms that enforce rigid line-item bidding, The Trade Desk’s Ad Group model allows greater algorithmic flexibility. This ensures real-time bid optimizations, driving efficiency across inventory sources. ✔ Publisher Sell-Through & Deal Types – A deep dive into how publishers prioritize inventory through the sell-through priority stack, with a breakdown of Open Auction, PMP, Preferred Deals, and Programmatic Guaranteed—essential for making informed media-buying decisions. ✔ Auction Mechanics & Cost Optimization – Understanding first-price vs. second-price auctions, bid shading, and real-time bidding strategies to maximize cost efficiency. ✔ Cross-Device Targeting & Identity Resolution – The Trade Desk’s probabilistic modeling connects users across devices beyond cookie-based targeting. This enables seamless engagement across mobile, desktop, CTV, and more—enhancing audience reach and frequency management. ✔ The Periodic Table of Digital Advertising – A standout resource that visually maps key programmatic elements, helping advertisers better understand targeting, measurement, and optimization strategies in an intuitive way. 🌟 I highly recommend it to anyone looking to navigate the ever-evolving digital advertising landscape! If you’ve taken this course or have thoughts on The Trade Desk’s approach, let’s connect and exchange insights!

Publishers introduced header bidding a decade ago to increase the number of non-Google ad exchanges bidding on their ad inventory. According to the Department of Justice, Google subsequently introduced a number of tools to neutralize the practice and maintain its hold on the digital advertising market. The Current compiled a primer on header bidding — what it is, how it works, and why it bears so much weight in a legal case that could radically transform the digital media industry.

The cyclical nature of trends can be found in advertising measurement, where media mix modeling (MMM) has experienced an unexpected resurgence. It's a surprising development considering walled gardens are usually loath to share their proprietary data, especially when it could mean giving credit to competing platforms for driving conversions. So why is MMM back in vogue? The Current answers that question, and more, in What the Tech.

We’re excited to share that we’re revamping our site with a streamlined UI and an expanded content library! The site will be down from November 8–11, so now is a great time to finish your courses and earn the badges you’ve been working toward.

For a targeted ad to reach you can sometimes be more impressive than magic. It's called programmatic advertising. While programmatic began primarily as digital display advertising, you can now find it anywhere with an internet connection.

Programmatic advertising makes ad placements smarter and more targeted with automation and data. What started small is now everywhere — powering ads across every internet-connected device and reshaping how advertisers reach consumers. Enroll in our Programmatic 101 course to hear The Trade Desk’s Tejinder Gill discuss where programmatic ads show up, what they look (or even sound) like, and what’s driving their growth: https://bit.ly/4ewCqop #TheTradeDeskEdge

Many of the ads you see online are bought auction-style, with countless brands and agencies bidding against one another for the right to serve their ads in front of your eyeballs. This ad-delivery system can be dizzyingly complex, however, which is why The Current assembled this handy guide about how ad auctions work, why they've been in the news lately and why the ad auction market could be fundamentally changed by a recent antitrust court case.
