Programmatic Advertising

What is programmatic advertising?

Programmatic advertising provides brands with a quicker, more insightful alternative to the traditional, old-fashioned digital advertising model. At its core, programmatic advertising uses software to buy digital advertising through a real-time bidding process.

With programmatic advertising, ad space is purchased through clever machines and intuitive algorithms, helping you get a better return on your ad spend (compared to traditional methods) and giving you complete control of your targeting. Along with our global network of partners, we are advocates of clients’ media spends, and active in the fight for transparency, and against ad fraud.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should you work with M&C Saatchi Performance?

We have extensive experience running programmatic advertising strategies for some world leading brands. Our focus is on your success. We take time to understand your objectives and develop a customised data-driven approach to reach your audiences through innovative and efficient media placements.

How effective is programmatic advertising in general?

Programmatic advertising provides brands with more efficiency, targeting and scalability than traditional marketing methods utilising real time bidding through automated AI and machine learning inputs.

What are some of the key programmatic advertising KPIs?

While we can tailor our reported KPIs depending on your requirements, the specific data points that we look at include impressions, clicks, reach, viewability, conversions, revenue and ROAS.

How do you target the right segment using programmatic advertising?

We use multiple technologies from in-built DMPs to external analytics tools alongside historical learnings to build targeting capabilities for our clients’ campaigns. We have a considerable amount of knowledge in this space and use it to ensure a positive ROI.

Where do programmatic ads show?

We serve programmatic ads across all platforms, from App and Web to CTV and DOOH, across any open publishers’ inventory or through pre-agreed private deals. Programmatic inventory has complete publisher transparency, so you’ll be able to report on the domain/app/site your advert appears to the individual impression.

What data do you analyse when optimising campaigns?

Campaign optimization happens automatically and manually. While DSPs automatically optimise to every touch point available based on the set KPI, we manually look into the granular details of each campaign, analysing reports on publishers, audiences, geo and dozens of other touch points assisting the DSPs internal optimisations.

What Demand Side Platforms do you use?

We’re completely DSP agnostic and are continually reassessing our media mix to ensure we’re working with the most relevant, efficient and effective technologies.
