Oct 8 2013 Scott Neslund Blog Programmatic Industry News Reasons for Rise in CPM Prices – Interview with Scott Neslund Analyst firm eMarketer recently interviewed Centro’s EVP of media services, Scott Neslund. Here’s an excerpt: eMarketer: What are some of the overarching trends you’re seeing in the way of display ad pricing – specifically, as it relates to the CPM pricing model? Neslund: When we look at our database going back to 2007 to today, we see overall CPMs down in the digital marketplace by more than 30%. That drop might seem dramatic, but there are three factors that we’ve seen driving down CPMs. The first is the recession – we never saw a large recovery coming out of the recession because by that time, there was more inventory and more choice for media buyers, particularly in the long tail. The rise of real-time bidding (RTB) is the next factor. Its influence started in 2010 and 2011. We’ve seen a good 10% to 15% drop in CPMs as a result of RTB. The third factor is we’re seeing digital buyers utilizing a more efficient mix of digital properties than in the past. They’re using more lower-priced inventory.
