194: Historic Ad Fraud at Uber with Kevin Frisch Marketing Today with Alan Hart

    • Marketing

During this 194th episode of “Marketing Today,” host Alan Hart interviews Kevin Frisch, who was recently the CMO of Wag and before that the head of performance marketing, and CRM for Uber. Before Uber, Frisch served as chief marketing officer of GSN Games and Snapfish. Frisch was named to Forbes' CMO Next List 2019: 50 Game-Changing Marketing Leaders.
Frisch discusses the largest ever fraud case, a case between Uber and its suppliers of performance marketing and advertising. Frisch shares what happened, what was the trigger that launched the investigation, how they diagnosed what was going on, and several measurement challenges along the way.
Frisch shares the revelations on ad fraud and the difficulty of finding it only after you have the detailed data, "Until you do that, if you're just relying on the higher-level reporting, you just don't catch it." He advises that "you should start by assuming that, half of what's on the display channels, is fraud." "You can't sort of out-source, and say, here's an anti-fraud tool, let me just run it through that." There is still so much to learn about fraud. Frisch shares a much-needed perspective on how to approach and avoid issues.
