Programmatic advertising is the automated process of buying and selling digital ad space using software and algorithms. Key points include:
- Automation: Reduces the need for human intervention.
- Real-time bidding (RTB): Ads are bought and sold through real-time auctions.
- Data-driven: Targets specific audiences based on data.
- Efficiency: Streamlines the ad buying process, making it faster and more cost-effective.
This method allows for more personalized and effective ad campaigns.
Programmatic ads can seem to “follow” individuals due to:
- Behavioral Targeting: Uses data on online behavior to serve relevant ads.
- Cookies and Tracking: Helps understand user preferences.
- Retargeting: Shows ads to users who have previously interacted with a product or service.
This ensures ads are shown to the right people at the right time.
