Following on as the second most-downloaded paper of the year was a paper from IAB Engage 2013, where some speakers suggested private exchanges could, if used properly, improve segmentation and optimisation.
Published in January, a piece from Mindshare – taking third spot – correctly predicted real-time bidding would become a major trend, as platforms like FBX, Facebook's RTB Exchange, prompted a shift in the landscape.
Fourth place went to an article outlining some worries among B2B marketers about the efficacy of real-time bidding – although it did add that this anxiety might diminish as the category becomes more established.
Closing out the top five was a survey by the Winterberry Group which found that 85% of the advertisers it polled are leveraging real-time bidding, largely in a bid to boost the effectiveness of their messages.
