WHAT IS PROGRAMMATIC?
Programmatic is automated buying, at a large scale,
accomplished via a combination of machine-based
transactions, data, and algorithms.
DOES THAT MEAN MACHINES DO
ALL THE WORK?
The process is guided by a human element, with the end
goal of centralising data and generating meaningful
intelligence that buyers can act upon quickly
WHY SHOULD I CARE?

“Long term, the majority of premium inventory (an estimated 80%) will
be sold through RTB platforms. Eventually, almost all premium inventory
will be sold programmatically, with the sole exception of custom
executions.” - IDC, November 2013

I KEEP HEARING THE ACRONYMS

Real Time Bidding (RTB) has been the most common
way to buy programmatic inventory: similar to Adwords
But the advent of Private Marketplaces means not all
programmatic is RTB
•  DSP – Demand Side Platform
•  SSP – Supply Side Platform

Understanding artificial intelligence and big data’s
influence on programmatic
AI uncovers non-intuitive connections…
Business goals vs media metrics: what should you be measuring?
1.  Are they independently certified?
2. Do they offer logins to their platform that allows
you to monitor campaign performance and where
ads are are being served?
3. Do they offer full-funnel and cross channel
solutions?

you should be asking
