Indeed, by the end of this book, you will have learnt almost everything about how advertisers and publishers can succeed in the programmatic advertising landscape.At the beginning of this book, you will learn how online advertising has evolved over the years, meaning what approaches were followed in the past, what challenges emerged and how those gave rise to the Ad Exchanges, Demand-Side and Supply-Side platforms. Next, I will introduce you to programmatic advertising and more specifically cover what programmatic advertising is, how much this technology has been adopted over the years, what the benefits for publishers and advertisers are as well as which marketing objectives one can achieve through programmatic advertising campaigns. Following that, you will learn which are the twenty main participants in the programmatic advertising ecosystem such as the Ad Exchange, Demand-Side Platform, Supply-Side Platform, Ad Server and Data-Management Platform. How all those participants can work together, the costs of using their services as well as which platform vendors are the most popular ones. Next, I will take you through the different ways of buying media programmatically such as real-time bidding through open and private auctions as well as programmatic direct deals such as preferred and guaranteed deals. You will learn how all those methods work through the use of illustrated examples, their benefits as well as why some methods are becoming more popular than others. Then, you will learn about the six programmatic advertising formats such as the Display, Video, Native, TV, Audio and Digital out-of-home advertising format. I will explain in great detail, how each advertising format differentiates from the rest in terms of audience targeting, ad serving and campaign performance measurement, as well as highlight the benefits they can bring to both advertisers and publishers.Once all those are covered, you will learn all the prospecting and remarketing tactics followed by advertisers, get to know how to create a successful media plan, as well as how an advertiser's media plan is executed with the help of media planners, media buyers, creative designers and ad traffickers. Next, you will learn all the essential and advanced tactics followed by publishers for managing ad inventory, increasing ad viewability, and of course, ad revenues. I will also take you through the ad operations followed by publishers, which typically consist of inventory managers, ad sellers, ad traffickers and yield managers. In the last part of this book, you will learn more about the major challenges advertisers and publishers face in the programmatic advertising landscape, as well as the new developments that will definitely shape the future of programmatic advertising. More specifically, I will start by covering challenges such as the Ad Tech Tax, the risk of price inflations in real-time bidding auctions, ad blockers, and explain how advertisers and publisher can succeed in this complex field. Lastly, you will learn how artificial intelligence, augmented and virtual reality, and blockchain technologies can shape the future of programmatic advertising.
