Programmatic Ad Impressions Transact in 200 milliseconds
Programmatic Ad Impressions Video
MediaCrossing created a spot on video that demonstrates the life of a programmatic ad impression. The digital advertising ecosystem is complex, even with the lumascape and other infographics about RTB, it is difficult to understand the concept of programmatic.
When a user loads a web page with ad code, a bid request takes place and is fulfilled in 200 milliseconds to yield the highest CPM possible for a publisher, match a targeted ad to a user by integrating a variety of data sources, ad networks, and demand platforms and ultimately give the advertiser just what they ordered.
This instantaneous auction that occurs non-stop on the internet is purely amazing and demonstrates how far the industry has come from the stone age of buying and selling fixed banners space on cherry picked individual websites.
