@brycebetts132 I've watched every video of the Sphere in Vegas and this new ad is by far my favorite. By comparison, running a billboard campaign in New York's Times Square for one to three days costs between $5,000 and $25,000, according to outdoor advertising company Inspiria Outdoor. A representative for the Sphere Entertainment Company said the company doesn't discuss financials. One TikTok video, which has notched up more than 14,000 likes, declared it " the best Sphere ad ." The Sphere debuted its first advertising campaign in September of this year and has featured brands including YouTube, the NBA, Heineken and Xbox.

While GroupM always had country-level P&Ls, it previously let its individual agencies — EssenceMediaCom, Wavemaker, MSix&Partners, and Mindshare — be responsible for their own budgets. This move is the latest in Juhl's plan to make these different media agencies follow similar business practices across all of the markets in which GroupM operates. Under Juhl, GroupM centralized media delivery within a unit called Nexus and centralized all of GroupM's data and technology within a unit called Choreograph. Juhl said that despite the push to streamline its business, GroupM's individual agency brands will continue to operate as separate entities rather than a homogenous media group. WPP said last month it will reveal more details about its plans to simplify GroupM at its Capital Markets Day in January.

There are growing rumblings within the ad industry that Google won't be able to get rid of third-party tracking cookies until 2025 at the earliest. It has since delayed that plan twice to give the ad industry more time to prepare, but has repeatedly said it's on track for a fourth-quarter, 2024 cookie expiry date. "It's a mess," said one ad industry executive speaking on condition of anonymity in order to talk freely about the process. The CMA's latest Privacy Sandbox update listed various concerns from various constituents about the proposals. Despite some skepticism that Google can hit its 2024 deadline, many in the ad industry just want to move past third-party cookies after almost four years in limbo.

Marketers have expressed cautious optimism looking ahead to 2024, with 60% of respondents in a new survey saying they plan to increase their ad budgets next year. Just 29% of respondents last year said they were expecting to increase their media budgets in 2023. Of the remaining 40% of those surveyed, roughly one-third (33%) said they intended to maintain their 2023 budgets into 2024. Meanwhile, print, linear TV, and radio were all likely to decline in their share of most marketers' budgets in 2024, according to the report. Around a third of advertisers said they plan to conduct log-level analysis of the programmatic supply chains in 2024 and 2025, according to the report.

Adventr founder Devo Harris was previously a Grammy award-winning producer and music executive, who worked with artists like Kanye West and John Legend.

"Amazon had the power to do it, but they bottled it," said a former senior Amazon adtech staffer who worked on the ad server. Amazon's own marketing team had also shifted a lot of its ad serving requirements to Amazon Ad Server. Amazon said only a small proportion of its marketing is run through the Amazon Ad Server. Amazon's $20 billion-plus annual advertising budget also includes TV, outdoor, and other media channels that don't require ad serving technology. "Ultimately it was probably the right strategic move to depreciate," the Amazon Ad Server, said Caprio.
