What is Programmatic Advertising?

It’s buying and selling ad inventory in real time through an automated bidding system. Here’s how it works:

  • Create the campaign: Advertisers define their campaign parameters: Who’s their target audience? What’s the budget? Which creative assets should be used? Meanwhile, publishers make their ad inventory available for auction.
  • The auction house: When a person visits a website, an ad impression becomes available. In a second, a real-time auction unfolds. Demand-side platforms (DSPs) step up to the bidding podium. Each DSP represents an advertiser vying for that precious ad spot.
  • The highest bidder wins: DSPs bid based on their campaign strategies. The highest CPM wins. 
  • The winning ad is served instantly to the user. 

 

Why does this matter? Programmatic streamlines the process, saving time and manual effort. Ads reach specific audiences, minimizing wasted impressions, and advertisers know where their ads are displayed. Campaign performance is analyzed, and adjustments are made on the fly.
