Publicis Can't Block Brands Using TTD Under Direct JSA Contracts
Sounds pretty good to me Laura Martin from Needham calls the $TTD Publicis drama a Negotiating tactic and calling it shortlived. key implication is that Publicis can NOT stop brands spending money on TTD in cases where TTD has a JSA contract with the brand directly. Those clients have contracts for "volume discounts" tied to minimum spending levels on the TTD platform, we believe.
