Advertisers want to stop worrying about their digital media investments.
Ineffective?
“Are we spending our digital budgets effectively? How do our results compare to competitors or peers?”
Wasteful?
“We have data, but translating it into specific, actionable changes to improve ROI is difficult and time consuming.”
Risky?
“Keeping up with the speed of digital and knowing where to tweak campaigns for maximum impact feels like guesswork sometimes.”
Vague?
“Justifying digital spend and proving its effectiveness to the CFO or CMO is challenging without objective benchmarks and clear optimization paths.”

The industry agrees, brands want digital media to work harder.
The Association of National Advertisers calls the digital supply chain “riddled with material issues, including thin transparency, fractured accountability, and mind-numbing complexity.” They urge brands to take responsibility by actively overseeing programmatic buys and conducting regular performance reviews to ensure accountability and effectiveness.
ISBA found that only half of advertiser spend reaches publishers, and 15% is simply unattributable. Most ads are placed on “non-premium” sites, which, as Bob Hoffman bluntly puts it, means “crap.” ISBA urges marketing procurement teams to lead the push for transparency, armed with market intelligence and a clear mandate to protect advertiser value.
The IAB warns that advertisers often pay inflated CPMs in programmatic without understanding where their money goes; technology fees are hidden, making true ROI hard to measure. They also highlight the ongoing threat of ad fraud, noting that without proper detection, brands risk wasting spend on non-human traffic in a system where “fraud follows the money.”
The World Federation of Advertisers estimates that 55% of digital media spend goes to intermediaries, the so-called “tech tax.” To take back control, advertisers must demand “complete transparency… to maximize transparency and gain control,” backed by stronger contracts and industry-wide behavior change.
Advertisers are losing control of their media. As Ad Age reports, too much programmatic spend still flows to low-quality “made-for-advertising” sites. Brands must “demand full transparency,” ensure audit rights in agency contracts, and track how much spend is wasted on low-value inventory.
