Programmatic marketing

Programmatic marketing is more than just digital advertising. It’s a smart, data-driven way of buying ad space that ensures your message reaches the people most likely to become your customers.

Exploring

Programmatic Advertising Channels

Programmatic marketing is a technology-driven way of buying and optimizing digital advertising using automated systems and data. Instead of humans negotiating ad placements directly with publishers, programmatic marketing uses software, algorithms, and real-time bidding (RTB) to purchase digital ad space across websites, apps, and platforms.

What is Programmatic marketing?

Simply put – programmatic marketing is a way to target what types of audience you wish show your advertising to. Which can encompass segments across demographics such as age, gender, social standing, to geographic in certain areas of the country. As with Paid Search you can also limit the ads to times of day and frequency. You can decide which publishers you want your ads to show on. This way you are only paying for highly effective ads, delivered to the right people at the right time. Its a change from traditional ad buying. No longer a buyer agrees to run a certain number of ads with a publisher and is locked in to the contract. Programmatic media buying allows the “owner/brand” to tailor a specific message and creative to the right person, at the right time in the right context – using audience insight from the brand (the customers you want to target) around the kind of audience they want to target. This methodology should deliver far more precision and personalization of messaging and media, resulting in more efficiently targeted campaigns, and less of the “spray and pray” methodology of digital advertising – which is less targeted and based on sheer volume (mainly of impressions).

How is Programmatic Marketing different?

Again keeping this high level (as you will hear lots about SaaS, DSP, DMP etc which I will not go into here) programmatic marketing is about driving efficiencies in spend and resource. Ad buyers manually buy digital ads space (inventory) for their clients, so again, using the human touch. Programmatic makes the buying, placement and optimisation of process more efficient as its done by computers and algorithms – removing some of the mundane areas of dealing with different tagging requests, insertion orders and hopefully it should cut down on time to market too.

But how does it work in real life?

When a webpage is being loaded and has the space for an advert (and there aren’t many that don’t serve ads of some kind eh) on it, information that’s been gathered about both the user/visitor (audience segment based on web behaviour etc) and the context of the site or webpage its being loaded to, is sent back and forth to an ad exchange and the ad is placed on that page. This space gets auctioned off to the highest bidder and their ad is placed in the space – all of this is done in milliseconds with no apparent detriment to page loads times or user experience.
