17% Increase in eCPMs

Weatherbug Increased eCPMs 17% By Adding Nimbus

“We can attribute a 17% boost in eCPMs to adding Nimbus to our stack. We already had two headers in place, which makes the 17% bump that much more impressive.”

20% Increase in Revenue

Imgur Increased Revenue
20% By Switching To Nimbus

“This interstitial unit — which went from basically un-monetizable to a 20% incremental increase in our overall revenue — was an immediate plus. It made sense to expand Nimbus to our other existing ad placements.”

Nine Reasons You Should Use Nimbus
To Deliver Your In-App Programmatic Advertising

1. We Are A “Publisher First” Platform

Nimbus was built by Timehop with one goal: to generate the maximum amount of revenue per impression. We don’t have conflicting priorities like most other popular solutions. We don’t skim premium inventory like other solutions. Nimbus immediately delivers your inventory to a network of demand partners to maximize your revenue with no conflicting priorities.

2. Nimbus Agnostic Auctions = Maximized CPMs

This is actually a repeat of #1, but we’re going to say it again because it’s that important. Some well-known platforms take a “first look” at your impression to see if they want to buy it or resell it, before putting it into their marketplace. This means you don’t get the highest possible bid, or even close to it. With Nimbus, your impressions go straight to the publisher exchange and are sold to the highest bidder. Your bottom line will thank you.

3. Nimbus SDK: 50+ Demand Partners, 1 Integration

Tired of complex, client-side attempts at revenue optimization? In fact, if you’re running multiple client-side SDKs, you’re probably doing more harm than good. When you run on Nimbus, you can tear out your old SDKs and third-party adapters, replacing them with one single connection to our publisher exchange. We’ve done the heavy lifting to connect to more than 50 partners, so you don’t have to.

4. Low-Latency Cloud Architecture

Nimbus is built for speed. Our extremely low-latency cloud platform connects you with all of your demand partners with just one call. Stop running client-side waterfall auctions that are just slowing down your app. With Nimbus, you get a fast, elegant server-to-server solution that delivers your inventory to a competitive publisher exchange in milliseconds.

5. Nimbus Brain™ Unmatched Render Technology

Don't let non-rendering ads eat into your profits. Nimbus validates the renderability of ad creative within milliseconds with Nimbus Brain™ and our patented VAST rendering technology, ensuring you never lose money on ads that won’t render. Say goodbye to the technical challenges of programmatic advertising and hello to higher impressions and successful monetization with Nimbus.

6. Real-Time Reporting

No more sitting around and wondering what’s happening with your mobile advertising revenue. See exactly how much money you’re making, every day, in real-time. Other solutions can take hours or days to get you the numbers you need. When you have real-time reporting, you can optimize on the fly, turn partners on or off, and more. With Nimbus, you can focus on the work that actually increases your revenue, instead of sitting around waiting for numbers.

7. IDFA Anonymous Traffic Monitoring

Don’t let limited ad tracking tank your revenue. The landscape of user privacy is rapidly changing, and it is more important than ever to optimize anonymous traffic performance. Nimbus lets you see exactly what is happening with your LAT-enabled users in real-time. Rest assured that, with Nimbus, you are always compliant, and earning the highest possible CPMs.

8. Unwanted Ad Blocking

Nothing ruins a user’s experience like a bad ad. Empower your AdOps team to stop offensive and buggy ads from appearing in your app with Nimbus’ blocking tool. Nimbus gives you more direct control over unwanted ads than any other platform with category, domain, and app blocking capabilities.

9. Continuous Improvement Doing OMP Right

Every day, our engineers work to improve the speed and performance of Nimbus. When you use Nimbus, you shift the heavy complexity from the mobile device to the cloud, where it’s faster, and more effective. Let us handle the advanced optimizations, so you can sit back and relax, knowing your revenue is maximized with each call.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a unified auction?

The term “parallel bidding” or “header bidding” is often used to describe a non-sequential, real-time auction. Every demand partner has the ability to bid simultaneously in a single auction. In other words, all the networks are given the opportunity to bid at the same time, instead of in sequence. This approach significantly drives up competition and maximizes your CPMs and revenue.

Can we run Private Market-Place deals?

PMPs are exclusive deals with advertisers that run in an invite-only marketplace. With Nimbus, you can run PMPs directly through your preferred network partner and have it compete against bidders on the open publisher exchange to continuously deliver the highest CPMs possible.

Can you integrate with DSPs?

Yes. Nimbus integrates with networks using OpenRTB. This is how DSPs currently communicate to SSPs. Nimbus cuts out the middleman and allows you to plug in directly to your demand-side partner. If you have an existing relationship with a DSP we don’t currently integrate with, we are happy to have a conversation about how to get them up and running on Nimbus.

What ad units can I run?

Interstitials, static / display / banners, video, native. It’s important to understand that Nimbus is a solution to deliver mobile in-app advertising, and does not deliver ads for mobile web applications.

How do I get started with Nimbus?

Getting started is easy. Simply contact us and we’ll get you set up with a Nimbus account and our SDK quick start documentation. If you are a large publisher interested in Nimbus, but not willing to take a large risk to your existing revenue streams, we recommend starting with a small test to see how much more revenue you could be making running on Nimbus.

What is a hybrid auction?

In a Hybrid Auctions, static display and video ads compete against each other to fill your placement. This maximizes CPMs and ensures you get the highest fill rates possible.

Do you require me to use your SDK?

No. If you want to connect directly to Nimbus to benefit from the open publisher exchange, you can. However you will have to write your own networking and rendering functionality for the client-side.

Why would I want to implement another SDK?

Existing solutions are unlikely to perform the full suite of optimizations that Nimbus provides, such as unified auctions that maximize competition, hybrid static/video auctions, creative validation, fall-back fills, and more. Your existing solutions also might not be completely agnostic, and you may be losing dollars if your impressions are not being delivered to a fair and open marketplace. And because Nimbus communicates to each network server-to-server, their respective SDKs are no longer needed in your ad stack, which allows you to focus on what’s important: improving your app.

Do I still have direct relationships?

Yup. All relationships are one-to-one between the publishers and the network. Nimbus doesn’t have any demand of its own, ensuring a fair and equal auction. Your network relationships stay the same. Billing and optimizations are still communicated between you and the SSP. For any technical questions, Nimbus has your back.

Can I use Nimbus alongside with other platforms?

Yes, you can run other platforms. However you need to implement their SDKs.
