The Evolution of Digital Media Planning
The “Guilded” Age
Advertising inventory was purchased in large
batches at negotiated rates expressed in contracts
called insertion orders, just like in print. These early
digital media artisans soon joined together and
established the guilds that became known as digital
media agencies. Like medieval guilds, they closely
guarded their trade secrets and only passed them
down to their apprentices.
Media plans were made in Excel
42-step manual process

The Evolution of Digital Media Planning
The Machine Age
The Machine Age introduced astonishing efficiency
through real-time bidding on ad exchanges. Instead
of humans taking weeks to plan and execute a
campaign through an insertion order, machines
purchased impressions at auctions that took place
in the milliseconds before a browser loaded your
Web page.
early trading machines were crude
Algorithms got Smarter
they created new revenue streams
hundreds of companies making machine parts
machines threatened to break the guilds
The Evolution of Digital Media Planning
“The cost of not having a connected business is costing the
[digital advertising] industry $3.6 million dollars per hour.”
Neal Mohan, Google’s Vice President of Display Advertising Products at
Google’s thinkDoubleClick June 2013 event.
