It has been pointed out that the advertising technology industry is hopelessly complex. There are so many companies claiming to do so many things and using impenetrable jargon to explain it all. It’s hard to have a conversation about the area without the word “confusion” coming up quickly.
Digiday is here to help. We’ve put together a 10-question quiz to test your ad tech chops. (We’ll have quizzes in the coming weeks of the agency, publishing and brand worlds.) This isn’t for the faint of heart. You’ll need to know your way around the Lumascape, have an appreciation of what the heck Platform A was, and remember how Google got the technology that powers AdSense. Post your score in the comments below. There are no prizes.
