Programmatic Advertising
Target On-The-Go Audiences With Precision

Programmatic advertising is the automated process of buying and selling ad inventory through an exchange, connecting advertisers to publishers. This process uses artificial intelligence and real-time bidding for inventory across mobile, display, video, and CTV. It increases efficiency and transparency for both the advertiser and publisher by eliminating traditional human negotiations and manual insertion orders.

Real-time bidding (RTB) happens in milliseconds as a web page loads. When a user visits a website, information about the page and the user is sent to an ad exchange, which auctions the ad space to the highest bidder among advertisers. The entire process is automated and happens instantly, allowing advertisers to display targeted ads to specific users based on their browsing behavior, demographics, and other data points.

Machine learning and AI are integral to modern programmatic advertising. These technologies analyze vast amounts of data to predict which ad placements will perform best for specific campaign goals. AI continually learns from campaign performance data to optimize bidding strategies, audience targeting, and creative selection in real-time. This results in higher conversion rates, lower acquisition costs, and better overall campaign performance as the system becomes smarter over time.

Programmatic advertising costs vary based on several factors including your target audience, campaign objectives, and competitive landscape. Most programmatic platforms operate on a CPM (cost per thousand impressions) basis, with rates ranging from $0.50 to $5+ depending on the targeting parameters and ad format. Additionally, there may be management fees or minimum spend requirements when working with an agency. Our team provides transparent pricing and helps optimize your budget for maximum ROI regardless of campaign size.

Direct buying involves purchasing ad inventory directly from publishers through human negotiation and manual insertion orders. Programmatic buying automates this process through open exchanges where any advertiser can bid on available inventory. Private marketplaces (PMPs) are invitation-only marketplaces where selected advertisers can access premium inventory from specific publishers. PMPs combine the efficiency of programmatic with the exclusivity of direct relationships, offering more transparency and less risk than open exchanges while maintaining the benefits of automation.

Programmatic advertising helps businesses by providing precise audience targeting, reducing wasted ad spend, and maximizing ROI. It allows for real-time campaign optimization, enables cross-channel marketing from a single platform, and provides detailed performance metrics. With programmatic, businesses can scale their advertising efforts efficiently, reach specific customer segments at the right moment, and continuously improve their marketing strategies based on data-driven insights.
