Why Omnichannel Programmatic Matters for Advertisers
“Omnichannel” is one of those programmatic buzzwords that gets thrown around a lot. However, behind all of the buzz are several real-world applications advertisers should take advantage of. Read on to learn more.
UNDERSTANDING THE CHALLENGE AND THE BENEFITS
The programmatic ecosystem is complex, and can be a headache for advertisers to navigate. Buyers conduct their purchasing journey via a variety of channels, including mobile, video, display, native, OTT/CTV, and social. This leads to challenges like figuring out which channels are performing best for certain demographics, where to allocate budget, and how to blend tactics to make sure you are reaching your target audience, all while trying to keep the whole operation as seamless as possible. Before you know it, you’re working with ten different vendors and trying to implement a cohesive programmatic strategy across multiple platforms—splitting budget between an array of vendors, dealing with multiple integrations and purchasing contracts, working with multiple interfaces to execute campaigns, sorting through multiple reporting engines which don’t talk to each other, and more.
But take heart. By investing in a true omnichannel programmatic solution, advertisers can work with just one vendor on one platform to seamlessly execute campaigns across a variety of channels. What’s more, advertisers can see what campaigns resonate with which audiences, shift budget to different channels based on performance, and make adjustments to improve performance regardless of channels. The research backs up the effectiveness of an omnichannel programmatic solution.
