Higher cpm prices, quality inventory, better knowledge and willingness to experiment within publishers has result in bringing programmatic to the next level." Boudewijn van Ewijk MediaScience Co-founder Real time programmatic trading is entering the traditional offline media. Radio is the first medium where, on a limited scale, this is possible already, television will follow later this year. This means that radio and television can be purchased the same way as online media in the nearby future. A development we believe is irreversible.

18 Definitions Programmatic Programmatic is a holistic approach through which media buyers and sellers may align organizational processes with automation technology in support of ongoing, channel-agnostic customer engagement. Types of programmatic transactions Within programmatic we define 2 groups of programmatic transactions through RTB (Real Time Bidding) and Non-RTB. RTB Available impressions are traded on a instant and individual basis to the highest bidder in an auction. Within the RTB auction model two types of programmatic transactions are defined: Open Auction In an Open Auction a publisher will generally allow any and all buyers to participate in accessing their inventory through this tactic. Usually there is no direct relationship with the buyer. Publishers may choose to use Blocklists and floor pricing* to prevent advertisers from gaining access. On the advertiser side they are often unaware of what publisher they are buying on. DSP s usually present a list of exchanges/ssps to the buyer that they automatically opt into. Buyers may not know or care that they are buying a publisher s inventory. Because of this, publishers can participate in the Open Auction on a blind basis. Private Auction This auction type is very similar to an Open Auction except a publisher restricts participation to select buyers/advertisers via Whitelist/Blocklist. A publisher may choose to not participate in an Open Auction and only run a Private Auction. It is important to note that a Private Auction is an auction and buyers will be expected to bid on inventory. A publisher may choose to expose different information such as transparency or data, through the use of Deal IDs or Line Items to add value to this select group of buyers while participating in this tactic. Non-RTB Impressions are pre-negotiated and pre-sold in one package deal. On availability, the impressions are served to the buyer. Within the Non-RTB model two types of programmatic transactions are defined: Reserved Fixed Rate This type of transaction most closely mirrors a traditional digital direct sale. The deal is negotiated directly between buyer and seller, the inventory and pricing are guaranteed, and the campaign runs at the same priority as other direct deals in the ad server. The programmatic element of the transaction that differentiates it from a traditional direct sale is the automation of the RFP and campaign trafficking process. Negotiation through to fulfillment can be, should the publisher desire, completed within the technology platform providing the automated reserve functionality. Unreserved Fixed Rate Transactions that fall into this category exist within an exchange environment, but have pre-negotiated, fixed pricing (CPM, CPC, etc.) Typically, Unreserved Fixed Rate deals sit at a higher priority than the Open and/or Invitation-Only Auction. A deal of this type typically is necessitated by advertiser demand for a more predictable offering within the exchange space. *Publishers are able to set a rate below which they are not willing to sell the inventory or exclude certain buyers. This option is only really relevant for auction based transactions. Source: IAB Programmatic US, Winterberry group IAB report on Programmatic trading The Netherlands
