AI-Powered Dynamic Flooring technology for Large publishers
The disruptive emergence of artificial intelligence has revolutionized various aspects of our lives, as well as its potential application in advertising monetization. For example, at Opti Digital we have made significant advances in this area by introducing Dynamic Flooring as a solution to the challenges faced by publishers with large audiences. To discuss the potential of this technology and its impact on advertising pricing models, we had the pleasure to address these issues in a webinar with our CEO, Magali Quentel-Reme, our Product Owner, Olivier Millet, and industry expert, Dana Glass.

Global publishing groups such as Prisma Media Group, Ringier, Brainly or Orange have selected this UPR (Unified Pricing Rule) tool to automate the floors, save time and make sure no revenue opportunities are left on the table, garnering on average a +13% revenue lift.
Sustainable approach for advertising campaign
Another aspect of great relevance for Opti Digital over the past year lays the groundwork for a continued focus on greening programmatic advertising. At Opti Digital we strongly believe in the indispensability of adopting streamlining practices in the ad tech sector that are more focused on respecting the environment and reducing the carbon footprint.
A notable element that intricately optimizes the ad auction process is traffic shaping, which deploys a strategic algorithm that selectively directs bid requests to bidding platforms (SSPs). This supply-path optimization (SPO) approach filters ad inventory, resulting in higher bid and win rate. For instance, ad requests coming from a specific geo or connection type would be discarded prior to the auction. In addition, Opti Digital’s innovative technology leverages data collection and artificial intelligence to selectively choose demand partners, driving efficient sales processes. By meticulously analyzing responses to SSP bids under various conditions, our traffic shaping integration has reduced by -20% the volume of useless ad calls and actively participated in the CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) strategy of +1700 media publications.
As we look back to 2023, Opti Digital has gone beyond its service provider role to bring value by also distributing its cutting-edge technological products to large publishers across the globe.
