Programmatic and Display Advertising Services

Programmatic gives you reach across millions of sites, apps, connected TV screens and streaming audio. It also gives you many ways to waste money: low-quality placements, fraud, runaway frequency and reports full of impressions nobody saw.

Our programmatic team buys display, online video, connected TV and audio with brand safety, frequency caps and measurement agreed before launch. Then we prove what the spend added with lift testing.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about our programmatic and display services.

Is programmatic only for awareness?

No. It can prospect, retarget and drive conversions, but it is planned and measured differently from search, so we set expectations up front.

Which DSPs do you work with?

We work across the major platforms, including Google Display & Video 360, The Trade Desk and Amazon DSP, and choose by your goals and data.

Can we run connected TV on a smaller budget?

Often, yes. If the budget is too thin to read results, we will tell you plainly before you spend it.

How do you report viewability?

We report viewable impressions and invalid traffic rates from verification partners, not just impressions served.
