The Little Black Book of Ads Jounce Media’s guide to ad tech
Today, I’m excited to release the Little Black Book of Ads, Jounce Media’s guide to the fundamentals of programmatic advertising. The Little Black Book outlines 15 must-know concepts that underpin the ad tech ecosystem. Master these 15 concepts, and you’ll be armed to tackle any programmatic advertising problem.
We’re overdue
I remember joining Turn in 2010 and trying to wrap my head around real time bidding. Each time I thought I had mastered a concept, I learned about a new exception to the rule. Turn is full of some of the best minds in ad tech, and we still struggled to make sense of the space. Without an authoritative guide to the ecosystem, we were forced to cobble together an understanding of our industry through a slow process of trial and error. A programmatic education required years of hands-on-keyboard experience, and very few people could credibly claim to be programmatic experts.
Five years later, learning the programmatic space is more daunting than ever. Each Lumascape drawing is more dense than the last. Struggling for differentiation, ad tech vendors inject new terminology into the market to trumpet new twists on old capabilities. Industry publications amplify the confusion, acting as megaphones for the ad tech flavor of the month.
We’re overdue to make sense of the programmatic space.

A programmatic education shouldn’t take years. At Jounce Media, we think we can supercharge your path up the ad tech learning curve, and we think the Little Black Book is the key.
