Desktop CPMs Rising Like It's Christmas 2019, While Impressions Hit A 3-Year Low

As the US opens back up and consumers spent more time on mobile devices, Desktop inventory has dropped 25% since Q1, while CPMs have grown exponentially.

• Pro Tip: Despite Google delaying their Cookie deprecation, its important to start looking deeper into device trends at the browser level in order to identify opportunities to improve your CPMs. We'll keep you updated with our analysis.
