Urban Sports Club B2B Campaign Mixes DOOH, Native, Display
Urban Sports Club, a corporate fitness platform, aimed to boost brand awareness among business decision-makers in Cologne, Germany. Partnering with StackAdapt, they executed a programmatic campaign combining Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH), native, and display advertising. The strategy targeted executives commuting through office districts, using DOOH screens within a 100-meter radius of selected companies' offices during peak hours. Device IDs from DOOH impressions were then used for retargeting via native and display. The campaign achieved 9.83 million impressions (4.98 million from DOOH, 4.85 million from native/display), a 50% increase in website traffic, a 50% rise in keyword searches, and a 50% higher click-through volume. The average DOOH CPM was 15.99 euros. Measurement was supported by ABM Lead Forensics, allowing real-time tracking of target company engagement. Urban Sports Club and StackAdapt plan to replicate this approach in other German cities and potentially other countries.

Michael Kors runs data-driven DOOH campaign
Michael Kors partnered with British agency MOBSTA and Demand-Side Platform StackAdapt to run a data-driven Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) campaign in Germany during the pre-Christmas period to boost visibility for its jewellery collection. The campaign targeted high-traffic premium locations (airports, luxury shopping centres, major shopping streets) and delivered 14.5 million impressions while achieving an average CPM roughly 20% below market average. StackAdapt’s creative team produced video and static ads with QR codes; measurement was performed via a Brand-Lift analysis conducted with technology partner AdSquare that used nearby device IDs to evaluate changes in brand perception. Reported Brand-Lift results included a 39% uplift in Berlin and 13% in Hamburg. The case study concludes the campaign met planned reach, efficiency and brand metrics within budget.

OpenAI Ad Deals With Magnite, PubMatic; Google Search Budgets Scrutinized
OpenAI is expanding its ChatGPT advertising business by partnering with supply-side platforms Magnite and PubMatic to fill unused ad space, following its playbook of opening up inventory to third parties before potentially walling it off, as seen with YouTube, Facebook, and Amazon. The partnerships add to OpenAI's existing ad-tech partners including LiveRamp, Criteo, StackAdapt, and Amazon Ads. Meanwhile, prediction markets like Polymarket and Novig are courting celebrity endorsements despite public skepticism. Additionally, ad buyers are reallocating 10-30% of Google search budgets to other channels due to AI Overviews reducing ad performance and higher CPCs, following Alphabet's earnings report showing a slowdown in search ad growth. Publicis completed its acquisition of LiveRamp, and OpenX appointed Robert Horler as CEO.
