This week we have Dan Larkman, who is the CEO and Founder of Keynes Digital. Keynes Digital is a full-service programmatic agency that is based in Austin, TX. This week we focused on the topic of ConnectedTV and OTT media service and how it can be considered as a performance channel. Dan explains how CTV can be used as a way to track users through conversions on multiple devices. We later discuss the ways the iOS 14.5 update has impacted ad revenue on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. With the restriction of the iOS 14.5 update, we now have to use another way to target those users that were lost, one way is through CTV which gives us the ability to reach those users through their other devices by using different targeted messaging. We wrapped up the segment by discussing the constant challenges between the marketing and creative team when it comes to messaging and connecting with the end-users.    Connect with:   Dan Larkman: LinkedIn   Keynes Digital: Website  | LinkedIn   Programmatic Digest: Shownotes | YouTube | LinkedIn | Instagram Helene Parker: Website | LinkedIn | Twitter | Programmatic Meetup

They have a wide range of clientele that includes brick and mortar casinos and they produce television commercials for today's popular brand empires. We referred to the following articles/resources: [Critical Capabilities for For Ad Tech](https://www.gartner.com/doc/reprints?id=1-24PCEKKZ&ct=201130&st=sb) According to the Garter survey, 22% of the marketing budgets are invested in paid media across different marketing channels. More than half of that percentage is invested in digital advertising such as display, video, and ad platforms. Digital marketing leaders are responsible for using the marketing technology and trends when considering a new advertising technology solution. The Magic Quadrant for Ad Tech provides several different factors that differentiate ad tech providers. [The Trade Desk](https://pages.thetradedesk.com/Global_2020_09_GartnerReports_LandingPage_Redirect.html?aliId=eyJpIjoidXRXVHo2c1wvcUphbWJFVmsiLCJ0IjoiRUZGRktlTXNqdDhDZEJzeHlzaVVcL2c9PSJ9) Trade Desk, part of the ad tech space, is a marketplace that allows customers to purchase different types of advertisements and use that to run global campaigns in digital media.
