December 12: Beeler.Tech site has issues, Google Ad Manager follows

Published on December 13, 2022
I'm just sayin' – we have issues with our site and shortly after Google Ad Manager has an outage? Suss, I say! Suss!

Update: https://Beeler.Tech is the new site and we'd love you to check it out. www.Beeler.Tech is awaiting a new DNS home. 

Google Ad Manager being down allowed some companies to flex their Prebid muscles. Might be time you considered being a member of Prebid.

I've been thinking a lot this week about AI, Lensa and ChatGPT and wrote something up about it. Here you go! *Warning - lots of AI-generated pictures of my face.*

CES? CES! Three Things
  • Dayna and I will be at CES - from Thursday morning through Saturday. Want to meet? Let us know.
  • We are working with MediaOcean to host a session late Friday morning, 10-11 for networking, 11-noon for content. Not sure what it will be about yet - open to suggestions. We'll let you know where and when it will be once we figure that out.
  • Looking to meet publishers at CES? Send us your meeting schedule or event timings, and we'll make sure to tell everyone we know who's a pub (or whatever you like)!

Q4 HERO Spotlight

“When the GAM outage occurred, they were ready having already built the capability to serve ads directly from the Prebid client-side auction. As a result, AccuWeather continued ad serving. Well done Steve and the AW team”

If you have someone on your team who you’d like to recognize for their hard work, there’s still time to nominate them as your Q4 Hero. Email us who they are and why you’re nominating them so they can grab an official, limited-edition 
Beeler.Tech Q4 Hero shirt in our store.
