OTT Video Content Monetization Checklist

Here’s the approach that OTT / CTV / Gaming and Mobile Publishers should take in order to take control of their inventory monetization:

1] Solution and Technical Architecture:

It is critical to understand the entire ad serving flow and its various aspects. For example:

  • How is the ad sever being called?
  • Where are video assets stored?
  • Where are price floors set up?
  • Where are cue points / ad calls set up?
  • How many hops are there between ad call and creative delivery?
  • Where are campaigns set up?
  • Where is optimization done?
  • What are the various discrepancy points, etc.?

2] Cost Structure:

  • Ad serving costs
  • Platform fees
  • Hosting costs

3] Demand Management:

  • Track total supply (ad inventory / ad opportunities)
  • Calculated current fill rate and fill mix (which type of demand and demand partners are buying inventory)
  • Following must be in place in order to take over Demand Management (Ad Sales):
    • Contacts with Brands and Agencies
      • Programmatic
      • Direct
    • Programmatic integrations with DSPs to sell ads using programmatic channels
    • Controls to prioritize campaigns (Header bidding / Waterfalls) and set price floors

4] Reporting and Analytics:

  • Holistic tracking of supply across all channels
  • Track Revenue, eCPM, Fill, Profitability, Discrepancy by Channel, Demand Partner, Inventory Type, Geo, etc.
  • Track campaign fulfillment:
    • Pacing
    • Performance
    • Discrepancy
  • Demand Partner (Agency / DSP) performance
  • Billing and revenue reconciliation
