PROGRAMMATIC BUYING

Organisation says its recommendations will help marketers to make informed decisions on the value of each technology and service offering.
Programmatic media buying is a common element of the modern marketing mix, but it can be a complex process fraught with inefficiency and less-than-optimal ROI.
Now the Association of National Advertisers (ANA) in the US has introduced its first guide to help CMOs streamline the programmatic media-buying process.
