Demand Side Platform (DSP) | FAQs

It is the automated process of buying and selling ad placements through software and not people.

This involves making decisions about increasing or decreasing bids (RTB – Real-Time Bidding) for specific ads and placing/putting the most relevant ad in front of the target audience.

Programmatic = Automated

Programmatic integrates data and technology to efficiently and intelligently manage digital advertising.

The key benefits of this are (1) Cost-effective (2) Time Saving (3) High Quality

1. Cost-effective – Through proactive ad bidding based on predictive analytics programmatic advertising lower the cost per hire. This means that the positions/placements with ample applicants (brands) are unsponsored and resources are diverted to those that still need applicants.

2. Time Saving – Through this advertisers and publishers could optimize their ad display within a few seconds.

3. High Quality- Specific targeting options enable to capture the right audience at the right time. Programmatic advertising improves the quality of the target audience using matching categorization.

For any organization/brand programmatic works, as the core elements/principles are the same.

In some cases this might involve customizing available tools to match the needs.

1. Transparency in ad spending and performances (Live Dashboard)

This allows to figure out the CPM (cost per matrix/impression) CPC (cost per click) and to see how the ads/campaigns are performing.

2. Cost reduction / Efficient spending.

Using the campaign budget across a large number of placements(websites/apps) and make sure the adequate spend on all, base on the supply and the demand for those placements.

3. Ability to target a specific audience.

    • Geolocation targeting
    • Geo country targeting
    • Device wide targeting
    • Connection wide targeting
    • Mobile operator wide targeting
    • Time targeting

4. Dynamic control of ad visibility and performances

To decide which ads to advertise more or less depending on the campaign budget.

5. Accurately predict results (Predefined KPI s for campaigns)

Information related to supply and demand across different geographics/demographics/ behaviours /interests and underlying the costs to get the desire results.

    • Number of websites available
    • Number of apps available
    • Total number of impressions per month
    • The meaningful segregation of the impressions
