Advertisers spend more on programmatic channels each year. In 2018, 82.5% of all US display ads will be bought via automated ad buying. Next year that number will grow to 86%.
Programmatic advertising attracts buyers with reach audience targeting capabilities – they buy impressions to specific audiences on a variety of websites. Automatic algorithms purchase ads based on where the identified target audience is. The buy-side technology participates in 100s millions of auctions an hour and adapts its bids to win more ad auctions for a limited budget.
Publisher’s revenue directly depends on their audiences – advertisers will pay a premium for users they know and users similar to their customers. However, publishers don’t have the technology for audience-based inventory pricing. They are forced to manually adapt their pricing strategy which is ineffective in automatic ad buying environment. As a result, publishers undervalue their inventory to minimize unsold impressions.
“We noticed that our audiences directly influence the advertising revenue. And we’ve been looking for technologies to use visitors’ behavior to generate more revenue for a while.” – says Kapitanova Anastasia, Head of Programmatic & Data at Independent Media.
Artificial Intelligence and automated algorithms will help publishers identify audience patterns and price them according to the demand. Similar to the buy-side algorithms, the sell-side technology will analyze website visitors, their behavior, and the demand for their attention.
