Programmatic advertising is becoming a better way for advertisers to buy ads by allowing for more targeted audience reaching and verification of ad placements. It offers real-time bidding on aggregated ad supply and demand through auction-based exchanges as well as direct deals between buyers and sellers. As more media is consumed on digital platforms like mobile and connected TV, programmatic executions are expected to continue growing compared to traditional media buys. New features like error reporting also aim to maximize revenue from programmatic advertising across all digital video screens.
