sg-smu-ink.lkcsb_research-77392021-08-26T01:52:55Z Vungle Inc. improves monetization using big-data analytics DE REYCK, Bert FRAGKOS, Ioannis GRUKSHA-COCKAYNE, Yael LICHTENDAHL, Casey GUERIN, Hammond KRITZER, Andre The advent of big data has created opportunities for firms to customize their products and services to unprecedented levels of granularity. Using big data to personalize an offering in real time, however, remains a major challenge. In the mobile advertising industry, once a customer enters the network, an ad-serving decision must be made in a matter of milliseconds. In this work, we describe the design and implementation of an ad-serving algorithm that incorporates machine-learning methods to make personalized ad-serving decisions within milliseconds. We developed this algorithm for Vungle Inc., one of the largest global mobile ad networks. Our approach also addresses other important issues that most ad networks face, such as user fatigue, budget restrictions, and campaign pacing. In an A/B test versus the company’s legacy algorithm, our algorithm generated a 23 percent increase in revenue per 1,000 impressions. Across the company’s network, this increase represents a $1 million increase in monthly revenue. 2017-10-01T07:00:00Z text application/pdf https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/lkcsb_research/6765 info:doi/10.1287/inte.2017.0903 https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/context/lkcsb_research/article/7739/viewcontent/Vungle.pdf http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business eng Institutional Knowledge at Singapore Management University mobile advertising logistic regression big data feature selection computational advertising machine learning cloud computing Business Administration, Management, and Operations Databases and Information Systems Operations and Supply Chain Management |
