PubMatic’s AgenticOS Doubles Reach Per Dollar
Level Agency and PubMatic published a head-to-head case study where PubMatic’s AgenticOS outperformed the agency’s incumbent DSP across multiple metrics for an education-sector campaign. Running simultaneously with identical budgets and objectives, AgenticOS delivered more than 2x reach per dollar for qualified audiences (351 impressions per $1 vs 164), cut weighted CTV CPMs by 53%, and improved video completion rates by 54% overall. The test attributed gains to PubMatic’s agentic AI operating inside the supply chain via its Activate supply activation platform, faster audience building and retargeting (days vs. typical 30–60 day ramps), and an integrated stack including publisher-side signals and owned GPU infrastructure. Level Agency expanded open-internet spend mid-flight based on the results.
Maximize Publisher Revenue with Smart Bidding Strategies
Relevant Digital published findings from a Prebid performance study analyzing server-side, client-side, and parallel bidding across real publisher environments. The results highlight performance differences among the three implementations and show how testing can translate into measurable gains for publishers. Parallel bidding generated the most substantial overall revenue, while server-side bidding improved speed, load times, and viewability by reducing browser workload. Client-side bidding remained competitive, particularly in eCPM due to richer browser-level signals. The study emphasizes that there is no universal setup; performance depends on environment, configuration, and SSP partner behavior. It also underscores the value of hybrid parallel setups, where server-side is selectively enabled for SSPs that benefit most. A culture of testing and data-driven decisions is encouraged to improve yield with manageable complexity.
Adsterra Case Study: Monetizing Google Discover Traffic
A MarTech Series case study details how an independent Indian publisher, Karan, used trend-driven content, Google Discover distribution and Adsterra’s CPM-based monetization to generate $6,976.06 in revenue from 8.45 million impressions. The workflow prioritized mobile-first publishing (4–7 articles/day), fast hosting/CDN, NewsArticle schema and Open Graph tags, and avoided intrusive interstitials to protect Core Web Vitals. Performance highlights include a high mobile share (~85%), ~95% of traffic from Google Discover, an average CTR of 8.32% and average CPM of $0.825. Revenue distribution varied by geography: India produced the largest total revenue by scale (USD 2,114 on ~6.2M impressions; CPM $0.339), while the United States and Canada delivered much higher CPMs (USD 23.30 and USD 19.97 respectively). The publisher selected Adsterra (formats: Social Bar, Native Banners) for reliable payouts and detailed country-level reporting.
