Interview with Blue Ribbon Panelist Gus Brito

May 16, 2017 by Chris Trayhorn, Publisher of mThink Blue Book

Interview With Gus Brito – Director of Network Development, Flexoffers.com

Should advertisers or publishers care about whether their network partner(s) are investing in new technology or are innovating?

Interview Gus Brito[GB] Both aspects are equally important to ensure our industry continues to grow exponentially. I believe advertisers and publisher should definitely have an interest in whether or not their network partners are choosing to invest in tech to stay competitive or innovating themselves to offer better performance and increased confidence. Not evolving your best practices from even just a few years ago will ensure your network gets overrun by mavericks of the tech and marketing landscape.

CPM display advertising seems to be full of fraud, with some estimating that as many as 60% of ad impressions are bot-driven. Doesn’t this mean that advertisers should be shifting budget to performance marketing? What would you say to advertisers reading this?

[GB] Why wouldn’t advertisers who are searching for the right ROAS be shifting to performance marketing? It provides millions of free impressions and pages filled with editorial coverage. Performance marketing has perfected ROAS, and by doing so it ignited the shift towards the reward model.

To advertisers, I’d say performance marketing provides acres of branding exposure for absolutely nothing and can generate millions of impressions (and thousands of clicks) touting why consumers should buy your products at no additional cost to you.

Many BLUE BOOK visitors ask for recommendations for advertiser or affiliate tools, everything from link-trackers to keyword tools, and from page builders to CRM. Would you share a few of your favorite tools with us?

[GB] I don’t aim to hide my bias; my favorite marketing tools are the ones we own and have built from the ground up. That said, I do use select monitoring tools for efficiency’s sake, including: brand search, keyword search, brand/offers content, traffic up/down stream, webpage performance, and audience demographics among many others.
