Most experts and publishers have told us that while this new layer of technology can deliver a more efficient and effective data-driven approach to the entire digital advertising value chain, the market will decide when and where programmatic makes sense for publishers to offer this to their clients.
In other words, despite the fact that programmatic has been around in some form or fashion for a few years, it is still a relatively new practise within the industry, particularly as a potential revenue source for premium inventory.
And that is reflected in our report.
