If you’ve been in the publishing industry for any length of time, you’ve probably heard at least one pitch for digital programmatic advertising. But if you were asked about the process and workings of digital programmatic advertising, how easily could you make sense of it all?

Unfortunately, it’s a common problem caused by, in large part, by buzzwords, complex flowcharts, and confusing metrics.

At Ad Sales Genius, we’re here to help demystify digital programmatic campaigns for publishers and media companies. Read on as we dispel 3 common misconceptions about selling digital programmatic advertising campaigns.

Misconception #1: “The programmatic campaigns I sell to my advertisers will simply appear as spam on low-quality websites.”

Not true. The inventory offered by major demand-side platforms (DSPs) is often the same across platforms, despite what their marketing may lead you to believe.

The websites, streaming platforms, and devices that display programmatic ads vary based on each campaign’s targeting. Third-party data is merged with the browser or device data of each person you’re targeting. If they’re a match, a bid is placed and the ad is shown.

Where the ad is shown depends on your audience’s behaviors and your campaign settings. It could be a top-3 cable news website, or a spot airing on a smart tv streaming platform, or a top-20 mobile app. If they’re a match for your campaign settings, they’ll see it.

Misconception #2: “I need to hire an employee with advanced training to properly configure each programmatic campaign I sell.”

Here at Ad Sales Genius, we agree that the sheer amount of customization that goes into building a programmatic campaign can be daunting to someone who doesn’t do it every day.

However, with our software, you won’t have to add a specialist to your payroll.

Misconception #3: Access to programmatic ad inventory is prohibitively expensive.

It’s easy to see why you think this might always be true. Most demand-side platforms (DSPs) that provide access to quality programmatic inventory require tens-of-thousands of dollars in minimum monthly spend. This is a daunting number for publishers who want a piece of the pie within their market.

Problem solved.

Ad Sales Genius provides publishers the same type of access to programmatic inventory without the same high minimum monthly fees. Now, you can reap revenue from digital programmatic campaigns without the financial stress that accompanies the leading DSPs.
