THE FUTURE OF
PROGRAMMATIC
WHAT IS PROGRAMMATIC?
Programmatic is an algorithmic real time ad buying and selling process, where software automates purchasing, optimization and placement of media inventory by using a bidding-based system. Modern evolutions in this technology include the use of omnichannel platforms with AI technology and data integration that offers greater tracking clarity, with deeper predictability and stronger consumer insights.
WHY SHOULD MARKETERS CARE?
By leveraging the future of programmatic technology, marketers can build more targeted ads for consumers that are a stronger match to the content being delivered. Programmatic systems, such as blockchain verification of legitimate traffic, and advanced AI data technology, allows for advertisement opportunities to become advanced in their ability to deliver the right messages and offers, to the right audiences, at the best time for each consumer, all while offering unprecedented media buying transparency.
HOW CAN IT HELP YOUR BUSINESS?
Staying current on the future of programmatic positions businesses to leverage the new transparency and efficiency of advanced data integration and AI technology to target and reach consumers. Advances in the programmatic space give marketers greater control and more information over their ad spending.
They can also focus more on the creative aspects of advertising, as AI technology takes care of the data and systems integration. As programmatic’s reach extends beyond the digital ecosystem into more traditional channels such as TV and Out-of-Home (OOH), marketers can go even further with data-driven, personalized advertising.
In 2020, as the world was on lockdown, consumers reignited an old relationship – with their TV, that is. Today, we’re joined by Bob Ivins and Jo Kinsella of TVSquared to discuss the rebirth of television, and what it means to advertisers. Bob and Jo explained why Direct-to-Consumer brands are turning to TV in droves and gave their opinions on when we might finally see fully-addressable TV ads.

Now that 2020 has officially come to a close, marketers are hoping to move beyond the necessary survival mode tactics that challenged the world in the past year. Looking to the future is no easy task, however – despite the arrival of a new year, the lingering effects of 2020 will need to be taken into account as brands pivot to new strategies and tactics. Though planning for post-COVID-19 marketing has begun, the actual pandemic hasn’t ceased, and a continuing focus on digital will be necessary both now and later in the year. Likewise, the social justice and awareness initiatives that arose as direct responses to the unrest in 2020 must now become part and parcel of every successful marketer’s overall branding. The resources collected in this issue of Pulse share where marketers should focus their energies and advise how they can continue to adapt to the world’s present challenges.

“In the future, programmatic technology will be able to control both the target and the context of ad delivery. It will cross the TV-digital barrier and optimize online and offline sales on the fly, detecting how certain combinations of media and creative executional sequencing changes the sales effects. All these technical innovations depend ultimately on the people that brands trust to guide the development of programmatic in these directions, while also pinning the needle on privacy, protection, and transparency.”
