Targeting Display Advertising

Reach your audience.

Programmatic puts a display ad in front of the right audience by targeting placement, interest, context or topics in real-time, making ads more relevant to audiences. Targeting is dependent on the buying mechanism.

Programmatic Display Advertising

There are multiple ways to buy digital display ads. Publisher Direct, bought via insertion order, is booked, guaranteed inventory. Another option is to buy programmatically, via DSP—this can be guaranteed or not, depending on how the buy is executed.




Common ways to buy programmatically

  • Insertion Order

    Contracts between media buyers and inventory sellers that guarantee inventory and contain valuable information such as rates, conditions and payment terms.

  • Open Marketplace

    Accessing inventory on the open exchanges allows for scale in a non-guaranteed environment.

  • Private Marketplace (PMP), Evergreen Deal

    Gives access to specific inventory or a certain publisher through an always-on deal.

  • Private Marketplace (PMP), Preferred Deal

    Gives buyers access to priority inventory; bought with a deal ID, it’s typically negotiated with a publisher directly.
