Programmatic advertising is the automated process of buying and selling digital ad inventory. Instead of human negotiations and manual insertion orders, programmatic advertising utilizes software, algorithms, and data to make these transactions in real-time. This allows for more precise targeting of audiences and greater efficiency in ad spending. Imagine a stock exchange, but instead of stocks, digital ad spaces are being bought and sold in milliseconds as users browse websites or use apps – that's the essence of programmatic advertising.
