The Outcomes Era is here: How publishers can win back the Open Internet

Play Video

If you weren't at the Data Collaboration Summit, you missed Permutive Co-founder & CEO Joe Root laying out a bold vision for the future of the Open Internet: A future where publishers can reclaim lost ground and achieve equal or better outcomes for advertisers..

AI and predictive modeling haven't just changed the rules; they've reset them. Google and Meta know this. They spent the last few years rebuilding their ads businesses around one singular focus: outcomes. But where does that leave the Open Internet? For too long, we’ve been stuck competing on proxy metrics, clicks, and viewability. In this video, you will learn:

  • How the Open Internet can stop competing on outdated metrics and start winning on performance.
  • The four foundational elements Google and Meta use to drive billions in outcome-based revenue.
  • How AI agents instantly remove the biggest barrier to scaling your direct-sold revenue.
  • The specific customer data that shows publishers delivering incremental outcomes on par or better than Google
  • About Permutive’s new Halo agentic suite, designed to help you build better ad products and scale infinitely.
