Be prepared to discuss campaign strategy and operations including campaign setup, budget pacing, bid strategies, floor pricing, header bidding, and integration with walled gardens. Measurement and optimization topics should include impressions, click through rate, view through rate, reach and frequency, conversion tracking, cost per thousand impressions, cost per click, cost per acquisition, return on ad spend, key performance indicators, attribution approaches such as last click and multi touch attribution, viewability, brand safety, fraud detection and verification, and lift testing. Finally, address privacy and identity implications such as cookie deprecation, first party identity solutions, consent management, general data protection regulation, and California consumer privacy act, and explain how display supports upper funnel goals such as brand awareness and consideration and how to measure and optimize toward those objectives.
