"Publicis stopped recommending The Trade Desk to clients, claiming it found TTD was charging hidden fees beyond what was in its contract, reminiscent of previous agency experiences."
"Agencies are rebranding principal-based buying, hiding it in earnings reports with names like 'non-product-related income' and 'purchase risk media deals,' indicating a transformation rather than disappearance."
"Some publishers and ad tech companies are building sell-side agents to utilize AI for optimizing internal processes, addressing challenges like responding to RFPs and matching inventory with client needs."
Principal-based buying is becoming a significant revenue source for agencies, causing conflicts over fee transparency, particularly with The Trade Desk. Publicis ceased recommending The Trade Desk due to hidden fees, echoing previous concerns raised by other agencies. Agencies are rebranding this practice under various terms to obscure its nature. Additionally, publishers and ad tech companies are exploring AI to enhance operations, including developing sell-side agents to optimize responses to RFPs and match inventory with client needs.
