70% of display advertising is still bought in the old fashioned manner. Yep, that’s right, faxing order forms, negotiating prices etc.
But the advertising market is changing with programmatic advertising on the rise, whether it’s real time bidding (RTB) or programmatic direct.
There are new companies springing up all over the place providing technology platforms for buying real-time targeted advertising (so called ‘demand side platforms’) or technology to help publishers automate and optimise the selling of impressions.
New research from Turn, a digital advertising platform, shows the programmatic market is getting more competitive in some sectors, with CPMs increasing across channels, apart from mobile (where supply is quickly increasing).
What are the opportunities for marketers in different sectors when using RTB platforms?
In this post I’ll quickly explain a bit about programmatic advertising, as it can be a bit of a mind-bender for those on the outside, and I’ll take a little look at Turn’s latest research into trends.
