So…. What Is Programmatic Advertising And How Does It Works?
Generally, programmatic advertising was invented to help automate the decision-making process of media buying by targeting specific audiences and demographics.
Basically, opportunities for advertisers are loaded into a software system, which then can spit out what content - be it digital or televised – that the advertiser can buy around. You can segment your search by specifics, including audience composites and size.
Content shared in these software scheduling programs may include:
- Display
- Mobile
- Video
- Social
- Search
- TV
What a relief!....right? This sounds very time-saving and for media, it can work.
But for product placement? If your brand is offered a programmatic option to purchase product placement within content - run. Run as fast as you can. Because it doesn't work and you are going to get sold a marketing partnership that is bound to fail from the get go.
There is just too much that has to be customized for a brand to be embedded within content. The right storyline. The right character. The right scene. The right usage. Too many wrongs can happen if there is not oversight and actual discussion.
Our team truly believes that a “real connection” will always overpower the “artificial intelligence(AI).” It’s just like choosing Google Text-to-speech for your script over hiring a professional voice-over artist – they both deliver the message but the impact to your buyers is massively different.
