GroupM Unveils ‘Channel-Level’ Carbon Calculator, Factors All Media In The Mix (mediapost.com)

Months after rolling out a carbon calculator to estimate and influence the carbon impact of digital media buys, GroupM this morning unveiled a new version capable of measuring the carbon footprint of its client’s media buys across various media — both digital and analog.

The new “Channel-Level Carbon Calculator” was developed in partnership with carbon impact researcher Scope3, and GroupM currently is working with it to engineer a new media-planning API (applications protocol interface) that any agency or advertiser will be able to integrate into their media-processing tech stack to seamlessly ingest Scope3’s data in order to adjust their media mix or specific suppliers that do a better job of complying with their goals of reducing carbon emissions in their advertising and media buys.

While GroupM will have a “first-to-market” access to the API for a period of time, the WPP unit said the plan is for it to be “open source” for the entire industry to use.

“It’s not exclusive. Nothing is exclusive in the space of saving the planet,” explains GroupM and Choreograph Chief Innovation Officer Krystal Olivieri. “We’re just going to have access first because we are designing it with them.”

Ad Consent Now A Top Issue For Publishers’ Organization, Says Chief (mediapost.com)

Consent will be a critical issue for publishers next year, according to Richard Reeves, managing director of the Association of Online Publishers (AOP). Specifically, Reeves means informed programmatic ad consent, as opposed to, say, email opt-in. Publishers are seeking tech solutions that “do not rely on personally identifiable information,” Reeves said in an interview with the UK’s PressGazette. In the marketing world, that requires anonymized data solutions and reliance on first- and zero-party data.

Quad’s Rebrand From Legacy Printer to Marketing ‘Maker’

Harry Quadracci founded the company 52 years ago this month. Harry’s son, Joel, is now CEO. He took over in 2006, as print continued its slow decline and before the great recession upended the global economy. “I did everything my father told me not to do, which was go public and buy broken down printing companies,” Quadracci told Adweek during Cannes Lions last month. It was Quadracci’s first time at the Festival of Creativity where the intersection of creative, brand, platform and production merge. It’s also the intersection Quad aims to transect with a rebrand resulting from a 15-year transformational journey. “For us, it was we better become the consolidator, or the consolidating is going to be done to us,” Quadracci said. While its roots are indelibly in print, Quad now calls itself a marketing experience company that aims to rid companies of wasteful processes.
