How does a PAM work for M1?
PAM is a growing group of publishers who have provided access to their known audiences and premium inventory to advertisers and agencies. Using a universal, persistent ID, M1 facilitates the matching of a publisher’s known users with an advertiser’s first-party data for enabling true people-based marketing. This creates first-party audiences that can be targeted on a person level, with more relevant ads across multiple publishers’ media inventory. These are then delivered and executed via programmatic or direct channels. Publishers benefit from greater monetization of their premium inventory. Advertisers win with precise, person-based campaigns that can better influence audiences and drive an increase in return on ad spend.
