OKC down Q4 of WCF Game 7. If only SGA were more like @jalenbrunson1, OKC might have a chance. #knicks

Not sure there's a great precedent for this Knicks playoff run? With young teams, sort of. But a veteran team just waking up one day and playing like the '96 Bulls for 11 games and running?

What have learned in the NBA playoffs so far? All TV Basketball Experts are wrong all the time.

@aripap @AdtechGod Of course. Adorable!

Guys, Ari Paparo bought a suit. And, apparently, had it tailored. Things are changing. @adtechgod

@tkawaja I used to go see Joe play small clubs, back before he blew up.

[Dave Clark @daveclark]

Excited to join Cast Iron Media as CEO. Why? Live sports + streaming + fit for purpose tech + great backers (including MLB) + awesome team + timing = huge potential to deliver for advertisers and leagues. ⚾️⛹🏽‍♀️🏈🏀⚽️🎾🏐🏉🥊🏒🏅🚴⛳️.

@joe_zappa It’ll be interesting to look back in 3 years and see if performance TV became a thing.

[Dave Clark @daveclark]

@aripap According to ChatGPT, it was 59% in 2022. They haven't broken it out since. (Source Roku Annual Report).

[Dave Clark @daveclark]

@aripap Dunno, but that's the right question. Some guarantee seems likely. And strategically, I don't think you pick a horse right now, but if you do, you pick Amazon.

[Dave Clark @daveclark]

@AdtechGod Looks like they are integrating directly into Roku's ad server, and will do a clean room match which works across any SSP or publisher.

[Dave Clark @daveclark]

This is a big deal.

[ADWEEK @Adweek]

Amazon Ads and Roku partnered to create the largest connected TV network in the U.S., reaching 80 million households through Amazon's demand-side platform. https://t.co/Yxlv6ySW0l

@joe_zappa @aepstein_ Yep. The most important thing to understand about advertising today is that you're either a) scaled walled garden, b) have a sustainable model that works with walled gardens (difficult but possible) or c) in trouble.

@dangoldin Not in this report, but here’s a bad photo of a good chart from @jouncemedia that overlays.

[Dave Clark @daveclark]

Moffett Nathanson report out today on US ad market puts share of market controlled by just four companies (Google, Meta, Amazon, TikTok) at 65%. (75% of digital dollars and ~80% of growth.)

SSP client told me today they've seen CTV CPMs crash by 30% this year.

Anybody see anything similar?
