Prohaska Consulting Launches “How to Be” Education Series with First Focus on Media Buying Through Advertising Exchanges

Industry-wide Initiative Features Charter Partners Adnetik and TubeMogul

Begins July 9 in New York

NEW YORK, NY – Prohaska Consulting, which specializes in digital sales, business development, marketing, and operational strategies for media companies, announced today the launch of its “How to Be” Education Series.

The first installment entitled “How to Be a Digital Media Trader” kicks off July 9 and will teach professionals the basics and more advanced skills around buying digital media on various advertising exchanges using audience targeting and real-time bidding, said Matt Prohaska, lead instructor and Principal at Prohaska Consulting.

“Unless you are deeply involved and engaged in this space, as a publisher, agency, or marketer, it can be quite confusing and difficult to grasp if you are able to do nothing but read the trades crowded with new companies and terminology,” Prohaska said. “Our goal is to help translate acronyms into answers and give a real-world view into how real people do this very exciting job, so they can apply these teachings to their existing or next role.”

How to Be a Digital Media Trader” features 12 classes, each consisting of a lecture and discussion, followed by a guest speaker and then workshop/lab session, which will include students building their own ongoing mock digital advertising campaign. Instructors and speakers work at leading companies throughout the industry.

Prohaska also announced the program’s first two Charter Partners: Adnetik and TubeMogul, both long-time leading players in the real-time bidding ecosystem. “Charter Partners provide valuable content and underwriting funds that help us run this program and receive a unique opportunity to showcase their products and meet potential future customers or employees. We are thrilled to have Adnetik and Tubemogul as our first partners in this industry-wide initiative.”
