Magnite (MGNI) Reveals ML-Powered Feature for Demand Manager

Read MoreHide Full Article

Magnite (MGNI - Free Report) has introduced a feature within its Demand Manager product that leverages machine learning (ML) to enhance A/B testing for publishers. Demand Manager, built on Prebid technology, offers publishers tools and insights to optimize their advertising revenues across various ad exchanges, formats and vendors.

This new feature utilizes ML algorithms to provide automated optimization recommendations for Prebid settings based on auction data, ad server data and session data. The goal is to improve revenues for publishers to help them make data-driven decisions.

Publishers can easily activate machine-generated settings in an A/B test with just one click. Initial tests have shown that 80% of wrappers running a machine-generated experiment saw an increase in revenues compared with the existing settings.

This feature aims to eliminate guesswork in Prebid optimization while giving publishers full control over the settings. A/B testing, infused with machine learning, makes it simple for publishers to measure revenues and page performance improvements, aligning efficiency with revenue growth.

Publishers, who have tested this feature, have reported positive results. Both LADbible and REA expressed the eagerness to explore additional features that harness ML to improve the Prebid settings in the future.

This innovation reflects Magnite's commitment to providing publishers with innovative tools that enhance both revenues and operational efficiency, making it easier for them to adapt to the evolving landscape of digital advertising.
