Effective Advertising: Powerful Creative Tech

Investment in formats in 2023 represents more than a financial commitment—it’s a pledge to redefine the creative landscape. In-feed, integrated ads, and branded video formats are not just advertisements; they are experiences carefully crafted to captivate audiences. Advertiser data underscores the efficacy and demonstrates statistically significant increases in revenue and CPMs for publishers.

Native advertising, as exemplified in Hearst and CafeMedia case studies, remains as a potent force in the industry, outperforming display, social, and competitors. The statistics tell a compelling story—42% more likely to capture consumer attention than banners, a 100% revenue boost for Hearst, and a 41% revenue surge for CafeMedia.

In CTV, TripleLift has not just entered the arena; they have become the game-changer. Partnerships with premium publishers like Samsung, DIRECTV, and Plex TV underscore the trust placed in TripleLift. With a 70% average increase in CTV premium publisher revenue YoY, Live Sports Lookbook, and an extensive library of 30+ packages, they are not just keeping pace but setting the tempo. The Adelaide partnership, launched in 2023, has elevated offerings and actively contributed to industry benchmarks. TripleLift inventory consistently outperformed Adelaide’s CTV benchmarks by 8%, a testament to the quality of TripleLift placements and the strength of this partnership.

Sustainability: Scope 3 Commitment

TripleLift announced in April a commitment to Scope 1 and 2, and Scope 3 reductions to lower each by more than 50% by 2030. has always been at the forefront of some of the world’s most significant issues and is dedicated to going green and lowering emissions on a global scale. The company has fully committed to reducing absolute scopes 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 51.33% by 2030. Additionally, TripleLift commits to reducing Scope 3 GHG emissions related to air, hotel, and car travel by 55% per full-time team member by 2030. Both are science-based target (SBTI) reduction goals and are 1.5ºC aligned.

TripleLift also partnered with Patch, the platform scaling unified climate action, to offset carbon emissions by investing in the Clearloop Panola County Solar Project, a female and minority-led supplier. These internal efforts added to the client initiative, the GREEN Exchange Traded Deal, which gives advertisers another way to use their dollars to keep the planet green.

Intentional Investment: Increasing Economic Inclusion & Sustainability

Onboarding 5,838 UNREP sites (Underrepresented Publishers) in 2023 is not just about numbers but driving economic inclusion. TripleLift initiatives have influenced $90M in ad spend, driving change across over 90 accounts. Corporate Social Responsibility is not just a checkbox; it’s a commitment. TripleLift’s vast inventory of publishers gives advertisers access to 220 Billion monthly impression avails across diverse-owned sites.

As TripleLift wraps up an exceptional 2023, the journey doesn’t end here; it evolves. Every partnership, initiative, and innovation is not just a step forward; it’s a statement of intent—to push boundaries, foster connections, and redefine the future of advertising.
