Google switched to a down-price auction mechanism

Google has announced that it will apply the First-Price Auction mechanism to Google Ad Manager, Google's media trading platform and advertising services by the end of 2019. At that point, it will also run a separate and unified bidding mechanism and remove the last-look privilege, which gives up a key advantage Google has in the second-price market.

Under Google's existing rules, higher bidders sometimes don't win because they may be in the first round, not necessarily the last. Under the second price mechanism, the buyer who bids 7 yuan competes with the buyer who bids 3 yuan and settles at 3.01 yuan, which seems good. However, the winner may lose out to a buyer who bids $4 in a bid on Google's trading platform. In addition, bidders compete with the floor price set by the trading platform or media provider. Buyers also don't know how much money goes to the media or becomes a hidden expense.

In the initial auction mechanism, the highest bidder wins. Buyers who bid 7 yuan pay 7 yuan to remove other fees, which is simple and transparent.

As part of the change, Google will unify its multiple bids. In the down-price auction mechanism, all program buyers will compete with direct advertisers in a one-time bid. Bids are not shared with other buyers before the auction, nor are prices set for other buyers.

Google's choice of a one-price bid means that "last look" will no longer exist. This is not compatible with the down-price auction mechanism.

"last look" ostensibly makes it easier for buyers to get stock, but it's also a privilege given to it by Google. After the auction, Google claimed "the right to spend a penny more" to win ad inventory, allowing its AdWords and DSP buyers to increase their winning margins and get valuable inventory at a discounted price. This privilege has long plagued media publishers, who want to prioritize themselves in the advertising stack.

Using a down-price bid also means publishers will no longer have to invest in complex floor-price strategies. Procedural bidding, some advertising inventory lack of bidding, media advertising prices can not be raised, in order to avoid selling cheap, the media usually use the bottom price strategy to maintain their own earnings.

"Since the change from the second price to the first price will require both buyers and sellers to make changes to their program strategy, we will give everyone time to prepare in the next few months before we begin testing." In the meantime, media and APP developers will need to rethink how they use the floor price, and technology partners will need to adjust how they bid on Google's AdManager ad inventory," Google said.

Google's move to a first-price bid will only affect display and video ad stocks through Google Ad Manager. It does not affect bids for youTube, AdSense search ads, or other Google products. Display and Video 360 advertisers also don't need to take any action.

Google said it would begin transforming its media advertising inventory into a unified initial auction model in the coming month, which is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

Byte-beating layout search is commercialized and not satisfied with just doing content distribution

"Kick Baidu, dry Tencent, engage in microblogging", today's headline parent company byte beat action constantly, micro-headlines attack micro-blogging, flash social face Tencent, byte beat constantly stir the Internet circle.

On the afternoon of March 6th, Morketing asked byte-beating insiders that byte-beating was accelerating into the search space, and Wu Kai, the former head of 360 search products, had joined Byte-beating at the end of 2018 as head of the search business.

In response, byte beat said: Search is already online, which is an extension of today's headline "Information creates value" concept. Users can try it out through the search box above today's headlines. The product is still in the testing phase.

In fact, the byte-beating search business has been around for nearly two years, and in today's headline search box, you can already search for content off-site.

Morketing in today's headline search box to retrieve Xiaomi mobile phone as a keyword, the first is Xiaomi mobile phone 9 ads, can be directly linked to the mall to buy, followed by the display of small programs, but also from 360 off-site content, but now most of today's headlines from the media production of content."

At the moment, there is no distribution logic in today's headline search results. It can be expected that with the addition of more off-site content, headline search and Baidu, 360 and other search engines converged, but the headlines with interest tag recommendations will play a big role in the foundation.

According to media reports, the search distribution logic of the headlines is not the same as other search engines, Baidu as the representative is the bidding ranking model, the higher the keyword price, the higher the search results ranking, but the headline is based on the ad and the user's interest match to set, the higher the price, the greater the probability of the ad being brushed by interested users.

However, there are also people in the industry expressed another view: it is well known that the headlines to recommend content of interest, in the form of advertising to take the information flow of the advertising model, the advantage of this model is to break the traditional bidding ranking method, to label the reach of the user in the form of advertising more natural, relatively high conversion rate.

However, with the user's familiarity with the information flow products, directly ignore the ads to produce "immune" effect, or even skip the ads directly, reduce the frequency of clicks, thereby reducing the advertiser ROI, resulting in a decrease in advertising performance, which may also lead to the drop in the cost of information flow advertising, perhaps byte beat is feeling the shortcomings of the information flow ads, is a comprehensive layout search engine.

With 28 million broadcasts in two days, what does OLAY bring to Women's Day marketing?

As Women's Day approaches, OLAY has gone online with two commercials, How Old Are You This Year, calling on women to break through the age bondage, and your numbers are not age, but achievement.

It is reported that these two advertising films, in just two days on-line, the total video broadcast volume of up to 28 million, and triggered the network's follow-up discussion.

So why does OLOY resonate with users?

Capture a new generation of women who are eager to achieve their own aspirations. Marketers know that the core of the brand is the core value of the brand. The core value of the brand is divided into three main value themes: rational value, emotional value, and symbolic value (brand personality).

The original traditional sense of female advertising is to "beauty" to start, many and women are closely related to the brand advertising will choose the female external image as the main selling point, with my products will become beautiful, change age, change fashion.

This time, the OLAY ad begins with a video of women being asked the question "How old are you this year", but the film's protagonists change the physiological age of traditional thinking and use numbers to sum up their achievements.

According to Baidu Big Data Insight, the rise of a new generation of women's self-meaning is generally divided into three levels: material pursuit of the ultimate beauty and enjoyment of quality of life;

This time OLAY, out of the habitual age eternal thinking, as a new era of women, age is not the criterion for judging everything. In transmitting their own brand core, essentially using a more advanced approach, the brand personality and value proposition, to the emotional spiritual level, rather than functional demand level.

Second, the correct label match. Label matching is about brand positioning, brand stories to be closely related to their own products, if you spread the brand story with your products, your users have nothing to do with, is tantamount to wasting resources.

At the same time, tell the "good" story. Most of OLAY's advertising content comes from consumer stories. For example, "Dreams, Fearless Age", which went live at the end of the 18th year, brings together the stories of girls chasing dreams in 11 cities.

And most of these true stories come from the message area of each article on OLOY WeChat Public. OLAY's emotional resonance with users has made the message area under its WeChat public number a unique platform for many users to tell their stories.

So often users will spontaneously write a long paragraph of their own true story in the message area under the OLOY WeChat public article. OLAY these true stories one by one "collection", after carefully crafted, as the dissemination of material, with story ads presented to everyone.

This kind of content creation based on the user's real, is one of the key to impress the user, because the real UGC story content, often easier to bring the audience into the scene, let the audience feel, "I am the master of advertising."

A little information second change handsome, after the completion of financing, Ren Xuyang resigned, Yang Yuxiang took over

On March 4, Ren Xuyang, founder and CEO of Little Information, sent an internal email saying, "I have completed my phased mission and the new CEO has been confirmed to be succeeded by Yang Yuxiang, chairman and CEO of Ping An Securities." "

This is the third internal e-mail released since Ren Xuyang announced in early 2019 that he is also the CEO of a little information, and behind this seemingly ordinary internal e-mail, the overall context of a major strategic adjustment of information has largely surfaced.

As a news aggregation platform similar to today's headlines, the main driving force behind a bit of information is Phoenix New Media. In 2019, a little bit of information has completed a series of big moves. Whether it's phoenix new media transfer part of the equity, a little information to complete a new $500 million financing, or the company's CEO change, these moves are partly for the ultimate goal, that is, to seek a listing.

Before the Spring Festival in 2019, a CEO battle broke out. At that time (January 21), the company sent an internal letter saying that CEO Li Ya had been removed from his post and that Ren Xuyang, Baidu's elder entrepreneur and founder of Little Information, would take over as CEO. But then Li Ya said: "The appointment and removal of mail is not compliant, does not have legal significance." "

January 28, Ren Xuyang revealed that in the interim CEO of 1-2 months, in addition to fully promoting the completion of financing, it will also help a little information combing the overall strategic direction of the future, and organizational restructuring. He will then return to the board of directors to participate in the selection and support of future CEOs as a founder.

A month later, Ren Xuyang again sent an internal e-mail on February 25 announcing that a little information had initially completed a major capital operation involving nearly $500 million. After the capital operation, Phoenix Network gave up most of its shares, fully supporting a little information optimization of the equity structure, the dismantling of the VIE structure, for a little information back to the domestic A-shares or the listing of the Company's board to create conditions. Ren Xuyang stressed, "With this round of capital operation, a new round of large-scale financing is also in the process of intensive promotion, the new investment institutions have strong financial strength, rich experience in the operation of domestic capital markets and Internet industry investment experience." "

"A new round of large-scale financing is also under way," the email said. Ren Xuyang said in the e-mail, with the restructuring of equity and the entry of new funds, its shareholder-commissioned phased mission has been basically completed, has formally resigned from the board of directors ceo, by the former Ping An Securities Chairman and CEO Yang Yuxiang to take over.

From the three internal e-mails can be seen, in a short period of more than a month, a little information has basically completed a major strategic deployment, including equity structure optimization, major capital operation, organizational structure adjustment, and Yang Yuxiang's immediate appointment, or will mean a little information officially become "IPO reserve" company.
