Programmatic media buying
Programmatic Advertising has been the buzzword in the digital advertising landscape for a few years. But what is exactly Programmatic Advertising? It refers to a new way of buying media using softwares rather than human negotiations and manual insertion orders.
At Semetis we directly understood the potential of this new way of buying media. Either through private deals, preferred deals or via real-time bidding we propose customized strategies to our clients in order to make the best use of all inventories available on the web. Programmatic advertising especially allows our clients to make their brand awareness grow. Nevertheless it could also be considered as a performance channel when remarketing strategies are put in place.
