PUBLISHER CO-OPERATIVES A Global Digital Advertising Trend

THE GENESIS OF THE CO-OP

1,2 :eMarketer 2014-2016

THE GENESIS OF THE CO-OPCOMPETITION AND THE BIG 5More than pure efficiency, the co-op is also about competition: competing with the digital giants that in the-at times conflicted-world of advertising also seek to make media owners their customers.

Just the latest example of this has seen Facebook trying to persuade publishers to bypass their own websites and apps altogether, publishing content directly to the social network’s news feed.

With 88% of US millennials already getting their news via Facebook, so the argument goes, what do sellers have to lose? Against the backdrop of Google/Alphabet increasing its lead as the world’s biggest media owner, and the ‘Big 5’ increasing their overall digital advertising share to north of 65%, it is clear why publishing names worldwide, previously competitors, are seeing the need to band together. The following quote from the Czech Publisher Exchange’s Managing Director sums it up best:

“To face up to global competition (Google/Alphabet, Facebook etc) individually, we are weak. Even if we are competitors as publishers, the value we gain from working together is so great that the compromise is worth it.”
