Amazon is set to enter the header bidding fray, according to a report from Advertising Age. Header bidding has exploded in popularity in 2016; it’s a form of programmatic buying that lets publishers choose which tech partners they want to work with, enabling a huge group of marketers to bit on website inventory at once. Amazon’s cloud-based header bidding solution will be announced this week, according to Ad Age’s sources. Amazon didn’t officially comment on the story.

Looks like “News of the Week’s” journos will have to take their revolt somewhere else. Trade pubs including Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter and Variety report that Amazon has opted not to pick up Good Girls Revolt, its drama about female journalists struggling to gain recognition in the ‘60s and ‘70s, for a second season. But Good Girls Revolt isn’t necessarily going out of print just yet: Sony, which produces the series, reportedly intends to shop the show to other outlets.
Programmatic buying and digital advertising are now inseparable. But when it comes to mobile in particular, many digital media pros are still a ways away from mastery. That’s why, on December 13, Cynopsis dive into the mobile programmatic space with a new webinar, Mastering Mobile Programmatic: What You Need to Know Now. “While advertisers can buy digital impressions across screens, it’s imperative to understand the distinct value of mobile,” says webinar panelist Noor Naseer, Centro’s Director of Digital Innovations, Mobile. “As the lion’s share of digital media leans towards mobile, marketers are obligated to understand how mobile data points can empower media plans in ways that, historically, haven’t been available anywhere else in the media landscape.” Register for the webinar here.
