Jim Squires, director of market operations at Instagram, spoke with eMarketer’s Debra Aho Williamson about how advertisers will be able to use Facebook data for targeting and how the ad buying process will change on Instagram. eMarketer: Instagram is rolling out a lot of new ad products in a very short time, including direct-response ads, the ability to buy ads via an API (application programming interface), as well as enhanced targeting. Why so much at once? Jim Squires: We’ve spent the last 18 months establishing the platform for large brands. We’re testing the action-oriented formats and buying through the API now, and we will be doing that through the summer with select partners and clients.

Have you ever purchased three of the same exact basic t-shirts to fulfill a “buy-one-get-one free” type deal?

Do you continuously return to the same Mexican restaurant on Tuesday to get the $2 tacos and salt-rimmed margaritas? Whether you know it or not, you’re being manipulated every day by smart marketers who have dived into our psychological impulses and tricked us into buying another, returning again, clicking on their ad, or re-visiting their website (hint, hint remarketing). The smartest marketers are the ones that have a strong psychological understanding of how we, as humans, operate. Of course each individual is different, and not every psychological test is going to yield parallel results, but from what we know about common behavioral habits we can make conclusions on what works.

If marketers aren’t thinking about the brain, common behaviors, and utilizing psychology and data to make better decisions, then they’re doing it wrong! 3 ads that are for the most part the same.

We’ve all experienced our fair share of retargeting and there are good reasons for why marketers do it.

Retargeting ads have a 10x higher click-through rate than display ads – and visitors subject to retargeting are 70% more likely to complete a conversion compared to non-retargeted visitors. All great stuff, but as you and I both know, retargeting ads can be as annoying as people who play music from their phone in public places (ugh). If you’re not using your retargeting opportunities strategically to provide value to your visitors or solutions to their problems, then you’re no good. You’re just noise.

Here’s What Facebook Wants Mobile Ads to Look Like. Facebook isn’t rolling out any new ad products at Cannes Lions on Tuesday, the ad industry’s week-long annual festival in the south of France.

But it does have an idea for a new ad product — one that will host advertiser content the way the social network now hosts publisher content — and it’s showing advertisers a mockup featuring the kinds of ads it soon wants to sell. Facebook product boss Chris Cox, who is speaking at Cannes for the first time, is presenting this mockup in a video alongside his presentation Tuesday afternoon.

A blow for mobile advertising: The next version of Safari will let users block ads on iPhones and iPads. It didn’t get a mention in Apple’s big keynote announcements Monday — which already had plenty of interest to publishers — but deep within Apple’s developer documentation lies perhaps the most important item of all to the news industry.

Adblocking is coming to the iPhone with iOS 9. Adblocking — running a piece of software in your web browser that prevents ads on most web pages from loading — has moved from a niche behavior for the nerdy few to something mainstream. A report from 2014 found that adblock usage was up 70 percent year-over-year, with over 140 million people blocking ads worldwide, including 41 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds. You can understand why that would be troubling to the publishers who sell those ads. But until now, adblocking has been limited almost entirely to desktop — mobile browsers haven’t allowed it. Here’s how the developer documentation puts the new change, coming in iOS 9: Facebook Is Handing Out Free Beacons to Retailers. Facebook is offering up free beacons to retailers and businesses using its service as part of an update to the company’s Place Tips feature originally rolled out in January.

Place Tips, which works by showing Facebook users posts and photos about a specific retailer or business when they open the app within the actual store, was originally tested with a small group of businesses in New York City.

Instagram to Open Its Photo Feed to Ads. Photo is cranking up its money machine, and that means a lot more ads in your photo feed.

Facebook, which bought Instagram in 2012, has kept the mobile photo-sharing service mostly free of advertising, allowing only a handful of big brands to put a few carefully drafted commercial messages on the service. Google sexes up its mobile ads with gorgeous photos. Google is replacing some of its boring text-only search ads on mobile phones with flashy, gorgeously produced photo versions — likely for a price. "Text ads are informative, but there's not much emotion there," says Bhanu Narasimhan, the product management director at Google AdWords.

The eye-catching, overhauled visual ads, which are now available for cars like the Dodge Challenger, allow you to flip through photos, research product information and book reservations directly from the search screen—a major departure from the text ads that fade into the general noise of search results. Hotel and car dealership ads will also get a makeover with the options to book reservations, get directions and dial up a business.
