On this episode of The Community Exchange Podcast, we welcome Marc Guldimann, Founder and CEO of Adelaide.
In our discussion, MSG and Marc discuss:
- Mark’s path from decision science and wireless startups into adtech entrepreneurship
- How years of experimentation shaped his thinking on attention and media measurement
- Why attention matters in advertising — and where it can go wrong
- The idea behind AU and measuring media quality, not just impressions
- How broken metrics created bad incentives across digital advertising
- How broken incentives, “lemon markets,” and cost-plus buying have pushed digital advertising into a race to the bottom
- Why publishers, agencies, DSPs, and SSPs all need a better common language for quality
- How AI may hurt low-quality content but strengthen quality publishing
- Moving from impressions and viewability toward a more durable media-wide currency
And more.
