‘MFA should stand for made-for-arbitrage’: An oral history of the murky made-for-advertising crusade

Love them, hate them or tolerate them, “made-for-advertising” sites have had targets on their backs since the early summer, causing media buyers, advertisers and SSPs to make sweeping proclamations that they were blocking any and all MFAs from their programmatic ad buys.

But between the confusing nature of the term “made-for-advertising” and the fact that there is not a universally shared set of definitive parameters amongst industry stakeholders for identifying MFAs, the MFA crackdown started resembling more of a witch hunt.

As a result, independent- and diverse-owned publishers, local media sites and even some mid-sized outlets became collateral damage, cut from buyers’ inclusion lists that were created with their individual classifications and thresholds for what constitutes an MFA site.

Cómo los Gummy Clusters se convirtieron en el producto estrella de Nerds

Esta historia fue reportada por primera vez en Modern Retail una publicación hermana de Digiday en Español.

El mundo aún estaba en plena época de Covid cuando los Nerds Gummy Clusters irrumpieron en escena en 2020. Este caramelo del tamaño de un bocado -una mezcla de Nerds crujientes y ácidas alrededor de un centro de gominola afrutado- fue la primera innovación de Nerds desde 2018, cuando presentó al mundo los Big Chewy Nerds.

Avance rápido unos años, y Gummy Clusters se ha disparado a la vanguardia de la cartera de su empresa matriz Ferrara. Gummy Clusters -ahora disponibles en dos sabores, Rainbow y Very Berry- fueron responsables del 81,4% de todas las ventas de Nerds de enero de 2023 a enero de 2024, según datos de IRI. Desde que se añadieron los Gummy Clusters a la mezcla, las ventas minoristas de Nerds han pasado de $50 millones de dólares en 2019 a unos $500 millones en la actualidad. Gracias a que el producto se volvió viral desde el principio, Nerds ahora está gastando más en marketing para impulsar las ventas aún más.
