Unranked Publisher--E.W. Scripps (according to TTD top 100 list) becomes the first CTV publisher to launch OpenPass. Few thoughts & initial commentary: - Will the adoption of OpenPass impact rankings in the next iteration of TTD's top 100 pub list? If so, does this put pressure on other publishers to adopt or be dethroned from the premium status ranking? - UID2 and OpenPass aims to provide stronger identity & audience curation solutions, which in theory should yield higher monetization value for publishers. Are advertisers & agencies prepared for potential uptick in clearing prices in exchange for effective targeting/scale? - E.W. Scripps already passes Show-Level data to buyers (with obfuscation tactics in place to prohibit reverse engineering information about the viewer/user) OpenPass seems to accelerate this output given the authentication process (email login data) providing stronger targeting opportunities for buyers. Overall, I think OpenPass is a viable solution built by TTD for publishers looking to optimize its revenue and enhance their CTV capabilities. Curious to see what the adoption rate will be by end of year. What say you?
