    The evolution of programmatic advertising
    Programmatic advertising has become the standard way of buying and selling media, and is now considered table stakes in the industry. Major trends include contextual advertising, the evolution of connected TV, and in-game, streaming, and audio advertising.
  • 04:53
    The shift from traditional to digital advertising
    Connected TV advertising grew by 30% during the pandemic while traditional TV contracted by 15%. This reflects the value of digital and programmatic advertising, which offers benefits such as measurability, ease of use, and accurate ad impact across channels.
  • 06:34
    Changes in programmatic advertising measurability
    Programmatic advertising's measurability has changed due to privacy regulations and technology platform shifts. Despite this, various attribution methods still exist, ranging from pixel tracking to more advanced strategies like running incrementality tests.
  • 07:27
    How to maximize the results of programmatic advertising
    The success of programmatic advertising depends on understanding your ideal customer profile and the buyer journey. While automated tools exist to understand the audience and optimize media, marketers still need to do the necessary research to drive customers to the desired outcomes.
  • 09:37
    Making strategic investments in programmatic advertising
    Running media on a platform can be expensive and time-consuming when pursuing meaningful customer insights. To make media buying more efficient, run experiments through cheaper mediums like email to better understand who they are and what matters to them.
  • 11:21
    Creating your own DSP to buy media direct vs using a platform like StackAdapt
    The value of building your own DSP is questionable as a third-party tool can be leveraged for that purpose. Instead, its more beneficial to leverage third-party interfaces and use API integrations for better data ingestion and workflow integration.
