[00:00:55] It is Thursday, October 3rd
[00:00:58] Today, Advertising in AI-Responses
[00:01:02] Timu gets kicked out
[00:01:03] Attention Data is now for sale
[00:01:06] And how many ads is too many?
[00:01:08] Amazon might be about to find out
[00:01:11] I'm Todd Maffin, that's ahead, today in Digital Marketing
[00:01:17] Microsoft's robot overlords are coming for your ad dollars
[00:01:21] The company announcing updates this week
[00:01:23] To how ads in its Copilot AI platform
[00:01:27] Will appear and trigger for users
[00:01:30] Advertisers will also gain access to two new features
[00:01:33] First, ads in Copilot will appear below Copilot's organic response
[00:01:38] In a more streamlined experience
[00:01:40] There will be fewer ad annotations and extensions though
[00:01:44] They say it will focus more on showing relevant information
[00:01:47] And ads will be triggered by the entire conversation
[00:01:50] Not just whatever the last prompt was
[00:01:52] This update will begin rolling out this month
[00:01:54] On the Copilot's website
[00:01:56] And will gradually expand to updated apps
[00:01:58] On Android, iOS, and Copilot experiences
[00:02:01] In Bing and Edge
[00:02:02] Microsoft is also piloting
[00:02:04] Two new generative AI features
[00:02:06] This month for marketers
[00:02:07] The first is a new diagnostics feature
[00:02:09] That will help you assess your campaign setups
[00:02:11] And account health, diagnose any issues
[00:02:14] And propose what to do next
[00:02:15] The new performance snapshot feature
[00:02:17] Will let you ask Copilot to obtain
[00:02:20] An account or campaign specific performance overview
[00:02:23] With a summary of key insights, trends, and anomalies
[00:02:27] We have a link to the full announcement
[00:02:29] Which contains a lot of information
[00:02:30] That's in today's email newsletter
[00:02:32] Which you can sign up to for free

[00:02:42] Consumers can't shop like a billionaire
[00:02:44] In Indonesia anymore
[00:02:46] The country has banned
[00:02:47] The e-commerce platform Timu
[00:02:50] Due to fears it could spell doom
[00:02:52] To the country's micro, small, and medium enterprises
[00:02:56] In recent months
[00:02:57] Indonesian authorities have kept an eye
[00:02:59] On the company's attempts to enter
[00:03:01] Southeast Asia's largest economy
[00:03:03] Timu's direct-to-consumer model
[00:03:05] Which bypasses traditional distributors
[00:03:07] Conflicts with local trade regulations
[00:03:10] According to the trade ministry
[00:03:11] Timu's registration efforts have also faced hurdles
[00:03:14] Since September 2022
[00:03:16] The platform has tried to secure trademark rights
[00:03:18] With the Ministry of Law and Human Rights
[00:03:20] But its applications were rejected
[00:03:22] Due to existing businesses using the name
[00:03:26] Timu, which is available in about 60 countries
[00:03:29] Entered Southeast Asia just last year
[00:03:31] Starting with the Philippines and Malaysia last year
[00:03:34] Before expanding to Thailand in July of this year
[00:03:37] Indonesia does have a history of restricting
[00:03:39] Foreign e-commerce firms
[00:03:41] Last year it also banned TikTok Shop
[00:03:43] To protect smaller merchants
[00:03:45] And safeguard user data
[00:03:46] But TikTok's significant investment
[00:03:48] In the Indonesian e-commerce player Tokopedia
[00:03:51] Has allowed it to re-establish a presence
[00:03:54] In the market
[00:03:59] Wondering how much attention readers are actually giving your site?
[00:04:03] Integral Ad Science
[00:04:04] The ad verification and brand safety company
[00:04:06] Launched a new attention measurement tool today
[00:04:08] Designed for publishers and platforms
[00:04:11] The tool is called Quality Attention for Publishers
[00:04:14] It uses eye-tracking data and machine learning
[00:04:17] To measure how much attention readers might give web pages
[00:04:21] And, perhaps more importantly for us, how users interact with ads
[00:04:26] The tool will be available to publishers
[00:04:28] And supply-side platforms that sell inventory programmatically
[00:04:37] Amazon is looking to push the boundaries of just how many ads viewers can take
[00:04:41] Before hitting cancel
[00:04:42] Starting next year
[00:04:44] Subscribers to Prime Video's ad-supported tier
[00:04:47] Can expect more commercials
[00:04:49] In an interview with the Financial Times yesterday
[00:04:52] The VP of Prime Video International confirmed
[00:04:54] They plan to increase the ad slots available to advertisers next year
[00:04:59] Upon the initial launch of the ad tier in January
[00:05:02] Viewers experienced an average of 2-3.5 minutes of ads per hour
[00:05:06] Described as a gentle entry into advertising
[00:05:10] The executive pointed out that Prime Video with ads
[00:05:13] Currently doesn't show commercials in the middle of content
[00:05:16] But that could change next year
[00:05:19] Amazon is also adding shoppable ads to Prime Video next year
[00:05:23] Which will include carousel ads, pause ads, and brand trivia ads
[00:05:29] The VP noted that subscriber churn due to ads has been
[00:05:33] Quote, much, much less than anticipated, unquote
[00:05:36] With 200 million monthly viewers
[00:05:39] Amazon claims that its Prime Video subscriber count
[00:05:42] Hasn't taken a significant hit since introducing ads
[00:05:45] Quoting Ars Technica
[00:05:47] Quote, on one hand
[00:05:48] Those who've already viewed ads on Prime Video
[00:05:51] May be open to accepting
[00:05:52] Whatever Amazon's ad department is willing to throw at them
[00:05:55] Others, however, may think they were already paying their dues
[00:05:59] With the current ad setup
[00:06:00] For subscribers who are fed up with streaming tactics
[00:06:03] Like rising prices
[00:06:05] Changing libraries and password crackdowns
[00:06:07] There's a fine line between an acceptable number of ads
[00:06:11] And a disruptive number
[00:06:13] Ad fatigue could also make commercials less effective
[00:06:17] As long as people keep paying for ad subscriptions
[00:06:20] Streaming providers will seek more ways to use viewers to generate ad dollars
[00:06:25] With Amazon's increasing ad loads next year
[00:06:28] We can anticipate more streaming services
[00:06:31] To test how much advertising consumers will accept, unquote
[00:06:40] DoorDash wants to deliver your ads
[00:06:42] The food delivery service announcing a new ad platform for restaurants today
[00:06:46] Along with new ad tools for consumer packaged goods brands
[00:06:50] Chipotle and Sweetgarden are among the first to jump on board
[00:06:54] With the new ads manager for enterprise restaurants
[00:06:56] The self-service marketing platform includes features like advanced targeting
[00:07:01] Marketing insights
[00:07:02] And new promos tailored for regional marketing teams
[00:07:05] And franchise owners
[00:07:07] By analyzing customer ordering habits and basket sizes
[00:07:11] Restaurants can fine-tune their campaigns
[00:07:13] Based on when people order and how often
[00:07:16] DoorDash also added off-site advertising options
[00:07:20] And sponsored placements for consumer packaged goods brands
[00:07:23] These new high-visibility spots on storefront and category pages
[00:07:27] Let brands spotlight seasonal items
[00:07:30] Showcase new products
[00:07:32] And boost promotions
[00:07:33] The ad platform also now offers off-site media
[00:07:37] Letting advertisers reach consumers across search engines
[00:07:40] Programmatic displays
[00:07:41] And social media platforms
[00:07:43] With campaigns powered by its first-party data

[00:08:46] And some promising news to wrap up the day
[00:08:48] After a year of slow growth, business-to-business digital ad spend is bouncing back
[00:08:53] According to a new e-marketer forecast today, US B2B digital ad spend is set to jump 15%
[00:09:01] year-over-year in 2024, fueled by changes in buyer behavior, programmatic ads, and the benefits
[00:09:08] of AI
[00:09:09] Expect big growth in display, mobile, and video ads
[00:09:12] LinkedIn and Meta will continue to lead the social ad game
[00:09:16] And the retail sector will see growth mainly from Amazon Business
[00:09:25] We had the night of a thousand miseries last night
[00:09:29] Well, the puppy did, which means that when the puppy has a bad night, we have a bad night
[00:09:34] She just wouldn't settle down
[00:09:35] My wife had been out of town for a day and we got her to bed
[00:09:39] We even went to bed a little bit early
[00:09:40] She just kept jumping up and running to the door
[00:09:42] And we took her out a million times
[00:09:44] It turns out she just wanted to run around a little bit more
[00:09:48] E-gads
[00:09:50] When she kept waking us up over and over again every 15 minutes
[00:09:54] So at about 1 or 1.30 in the morning
[00:09:57] I am not sure exactly when
[00:09:58] I took her outside
[00:09:59] In the middle of the night
[00:10:01] And we ran around the block
[00:10:04] It was no fun
[00:10:06] But she was happier for it
[00:10:07] Then she went to bed right away afterwards
[00:10:09] As we all did
[00:10:10] Which was great
[00:10:12] That's it for today
[00:10:13] I'm Todd Maffin
