What Programmatic Buying Means to the End Marketer

 Contrary to popular belief, “programmatic buying” and “RTB” are not synonyms. In fact, the scale and efficiency gleaned from Display RTB is just one small tactical output from marketer’s leveraging programmatic buying. And even then, RTB is far more than a tactic to secure lower CPMs. The value of utilizing programmatic buying extends much further up the macro-level marketing planning process, impacting everything from marketer’s planning to optimization cycles. This directly translates to faster time to market, testing cycles, and optimizations, and ultimately results in greater media spend, across all platforms. Sara Livingston, Manager of Digital Marketing at Seamless, will discuss what true multi-platform programmatic buying means to the end marketer and how the efficiency it creates extends far beyond the end media cost.
