PROGRAMMATIC ADVERTISING IS CHANGING THE FACE OF DIGITAL ADVERTISING. LEARN HOW

What has programming got to do in the creative world of advertising? Well, a lot. Primarily, taking the tedious and time-consuming part away from humans to focus on doing what they like and do best, being creative.
Programmatic advertising is the Jarvis we wish we had every time we watched Iron Man. Simply put, programmatic advertising is the use of artificial intelligence to buy and sell online advertising space. How is this better than a human at the helm? With programmatic advertising, you can customize your criteria and target niche audiences with the help of factual data, all in half the time.  But are they better than humans? Begrudgingly, yes, because they match the seller's goals to consumer behavior, different ad formats, and bidding preferences before deciding on a platform.

Advantages of programmatic advertising over traditional means-

1. Saves time

In programmatic advertising, algorithms are the heroes who collect data, evaluates them, and make the decision. If done the conventional way, this process would involve back and forth between the marketer and salesperson, where you lose precious time and customers.

‍

2. Data-driven targeting

Programmatic advertising utilizes real-time data to place their bids. Remember your online shopping cart just showing up on every website you visit? That's retargeting and works brilliantly to drive conversions. Programmatic advertising offers nuanced targeting options like geo-targeting, contextual targeting and sometimes targets just you or someone you know with the help of IP targeting.  With programmatic advertising, your efforts are never wasted; instead, your return of investment increases, along with conversion rates.

3. Real-time optimization

What's cooler than Dr.Strange going through 14 million futures in a second? It's watching the programmatic algorithms analyze real-time data and audience reviews and offer you the opportunity to make changes instantaneously. You can see all the different possibilities for your campaign to hit the jackpot play out in front of you with A/B testing.

4. Greater transparency

Deciding when and where to place your ads will no longer be dependent on the "I know a guy, who knows a guy" formula. Instead, with advanced placement techniques run by algorithms, advertisers can systematically display their ads and receive feedback on their audience and their views of the ads.
