The New Programmatic Advertising Economy: Digital advertising is in the midst of a revolution. The ability to separate data from media impression, along with technology that efficiently matches buyers and sellers, is changing the game for brands, agencies and publishers. The increasing pool of data, and the sophistication by which it’s separated and recombined, has eliminated waste and made buying and selling more efficient but also complicated. These advances, while that started in display ads, are beginning to move well beyond and into all forms of advertising that is digital and targetable. The Digiday Exchange Summit will cut through the hyperbole and acronyms to address how brands, agencies and publishers are adjusting to the changing dynamics of modern media buying — and how they are turning challenges into opportunities.
