AWARENESS 6 Background As a publisher, Advance Media Southeast (an Advance Digital property) has a distinct advantage within the marketplace. The advantage is presented through the ability to publish and control content. Every story that is published by an Advance Digital property contains a content tag, which collects valuable first-party data around user interaction, intention, and history. With this information, we are able to assign real-time intent and characteristics to individual cookie pools that are categorized into audiences. Once the 1st party cookies are pooled, the data is then merged with 2nd party data (obtained by direct relationships with other publishers), and 3rd party data (obtained through purchase agreements) within a Data Management Platform (DMP). This process allows the Advance Media Southeast (Advance Digital) to further expand these segments into scalable enriched data that can be personalized and segmented based on need. Advance Digital currently controls more than 2.7 billion cookies. AWARENESS 7 Audience Targeting While some ad campaigns target websites that are known to have a certain visitor demographic, audience targeting focuses on the visitors themselves, making the category and the demographic of the website less significant. For instance, if a user has visited an article on Nola.com about HDTVs, it can be assumed that user has interest in electronics. This interaction would be tracked by an in-content 1st party cookie. The cookie would have been assigned to an electronics intender segment within the DMP. The DMP would then vend ads from electronics dealers toward that cookie’d consumer, even if the consumer were to visit different websites unrelated to the topic. The consumer is now accessible across channels, devices and applications, with precision and scale, creating a strong brand experience and lift. AWARENESS 8 How It Works An “Audience Targeting PIXEL” is a small piece of code that is placed within the story of a published web page (with permission) on Nola.com. The pixel records non-personalized user data by tracking user activity on the page. Each visitor who arrives at that webpage will have a cookie placed on their browser, which marks them as part of our custom audience since they expressed some interest in the specific public content. Then, (DMP) Lotame is responsible for collecting, organizing and activating all our specific pixel and cookie audience data from Nola.com and Advance Digital’s multiple 1st and 2nd party (shared cookie agreement with Condé Nast) sources. Once an audience is activated, it is targeted using an ad server. The cookies are targeted on the local properties (Nola.com) and pushed through an ad exchange called AppNexus. AppNexus uses the audience instructions from the DMP to target consumers on over 400+ different ad networks (Microsoft Advertising Network, Google DoubleClick, Rubicon, etc.), which makes their network of website’s inventory available through a transparent and manageable interface. AppNexus then engages in Real Time Bidding (RTB). While websites generally try to sell their ad space directly to advertisers in “premium” deals, a huge amount of ads are served as part of online auctions, in which ads are placed automatically, based on supply and demand pricing. For more information on RTB click HERE. If we win the bid for an impression through AppNexus.com, we then compete with other DSPs on that advertising exchange. Ad inventory is bought and sold on a per-impression basis, via “programmable instantaneous auction,” similar to financial markets. If we have the highest bid, the impression will be delivered immediately on that website and/or network. The bidding happens autonomously and advertisers set maximum bids and budgets for an advertising campaign. RTB transactions typically happen within 100 milliseconds from a user visiting a website. RTB was a $3 billion business in the U.S in 2013, and is estimated to grow to a $14 billion business in the U.S. in 2017 (source: IDC). DISPLAY SCAPE 9 Advance Digital Display Scape Advance Digital Operates within the Programmatic space using Publisher- controlled data exported via Lotame, Advance Digital’s impendent data Management Platform (DMP).

Predefined audiences are custom built within the Data Management Platform using 1st and 3rd party data segments. They are created using consumer pathways laid by consumers who have shown interest or intent around a specific subject matter(s). Once this behavior is identified, we can use these pathways to create audiences, that can be customized to included behavior, recency and frequency. Recency identifies when the behavior happened and frequency indicates how many times the pathway is present within the specified time period. Predefined audiences live within the DMP indefinitely and are refreshed in real time. These dynamic audiences can be pushed into ad servers and are used to target consumers cross device. Predefined audiences allow for historical awareness around the preset pathway and provide consistent and predictable performance across devices.
