The IAB Australia Podcast

Role of Content in Affiliate Marketing with Lauren Leisk and Chris Ferguson

In this episode of the IAB Australia podcast, host Gai Le Roy, CEO of IAB Australia, is joined by Luke Smith, Senior Director - CTV/OTT and Online Video, APAC at PubMatic, and Katie Finney, National Television Sales Director at Southern Cross Media Group, to discuss PubMatic's new report, How Co-Viewing Redefines Attention, and what it means for how CTV is planned, bought and measured.

The data shows co-viewed impressions deliver 42% higher attention, 53% stronger recall, and audiences 70% more likely to act, yet CTV is still traded like a 1:1 digital impression. Luke and Katie unpack the missed opportunity on high co-viewing days, why pricing should reflect context and audience, and where measurement needs to go next.

Making a Good Impression (or Three): CTV Co-Viewing

In this episode of the IAB Australia podcast, host Gai Le Roy, CEO of IAB Australia, is joined by Daisy Smith, Programmatic Adtech Solutions Director at Acast, and Nikola Small, Associate Director DV+ at Magnite, to explore the evolution of investment in digital audio and what's driving its growth in the programmatic ecosystem.

Building on the themes from the IAB Australia Audio Summit in February this year, the conversation covers the growth in digital audio investment, and how an omni-channel approach is reshaping how buyers think about audio. The panel also discusses the measurement tools gaining traction, from brand lift and conversion tracking to market mix modelling, and what the industry needs to do to make audio an easier, more consistent buy. With examples from health insurance, creator-led campaigns, and always-on strategies, there is plenty there for those looking to add audio to the mix.
