WHY TRUST MATTERS TO
YOUR AUDIENCE
“It’s not now just about price, feature and benefits. It’s
not even about history and legacy. It is about TRUST.
Every brand must build and maintain trust, particularly
because the customer is more skeptical and
empowered, and not afraid to push back and question.”
- Mark McCrindle, McCrindle Research

ADSERVER FOR EMAIL
• Create a conduit from ad servers for web into
email
• Easily manage inventory, delivery, reporting and
forecasting from one program
• Detailed CPM-style tracking for email ad
impressions
• Optimize between direct sold
and backfill based on
minimum RPM
“We now make probably four times as
much money by selling CPM through than we would
selling at flat rate.”
Blake Bobit, Director of Digital Sales – Bobit Business Media
EMAIL BACKFILL
• Overlooked, but powerful channel
• Offer personalized and relevant third-party
content
• Side-step ad blocking (doesn’t exist in email)
• High-value opt-in subscribers
• Get paid for your traffic
• Optimized for device and user
“ With just a quick set-up, partner content
automatically populates into every email. After more
than a year in operation, the campaign still generates
$3 CPM per open of purely incremental revenue.”
Laura Derr, Manager Marketing Operations - Hearst
