What is Programmatic Advertising?

Let’s start with the basics: what is programmatic advertising? It’s a highly complex process that can be summed up rather simply — it’s digital advertising, mostly automated.

Programmatic advertising doesn’t take humans completely out of the advertising equation, but it does reduce the need for people who directly purchase ads or sell ad inventory. With programmatic, there’s less negotiation, no insertion orders (IOs) and no requests for proposals (RFPs). However, even mid-sized programmatic ad campaigns and inventory sales require a human touch to manage them in a way that maximizes revenue.
