How marketers can drive superior results on the programmatic supply path

Programmatic is dominating the ad buying space. With benefits like targeting, scaling, and operational efficiencies, it’s no wonder why programmatic appeals to the marketing masses. But despite its features, programmatic ad buying is complicated. It poses significant challenges for marketers, like opaque, complex, and cost inefficient supply paths. And unfortunately, traditional supply path optimization (SPO) products leave marketers with wasted ad spend and a lack of transparency into the quality of impressions being served.

Without transparency into the cost and quality of programmatic ads, marketers are at risk of wasting valuable ad spend on low quality media that doesn’t drive results.

IAS’s latest white paper, Quest for Quality, deep dives into Quality Path Optimization (QPO) to help marketers overcome programmatic buying challenges so they can truly understand the tools they need to drive ROI and performance on the programmatic supply path.

In this white paper, you’ll learn:

  • Why making supply path decisions on cost alone is hurting brands
  • How to identify inefficiencies along the supply path while taking impression quality and transparency into account
  • How IAS’s Total Visibility™ is helping marketers across the globe improve campaign performance and ROI

Don’t compromise the quality of your impressions. Only IAS shows marketers the true financial impact of media quality on the supply path. Download the white paper, Quest for Quality, now to access these insights and more.

The number of online consumers is rapidly growing, and so is the need for ads that capture attention and make an impact. It’s crucial that marketers can depend on a transparent and trustworthy ad publishing process to reach consumers online and drive results without wasting time or money.

That’s where programmatic advertising comes in.

What is programmatic advertising?

Programmatic advertising is the automated buying and selling of ad space in real-time. This process lets marketers target specific audiences and optimize their campaigns for better, scalable results. 

One of the main benefits of programmatic advertising is that it eliminates the need for manual buying and selling, helping to increase time efficiency and avoid human error. Through technology-driven processes, like algorithms and AI, programmatic advertising helps streamline both the purchasing and placement of ads across the digital landscape. Plus, programmatic advertising is flexible, allowing media buyers to shift budgets faster than ever before.

How does programmatic advertising work?

The programmatic supply path is made up of a number of intermediaries that connect advertisers (buyers) to publishers (sellers) to buy and sell ad inventory across digital environments, including open web, social media, CTV, and more.

Ad inventory is managed through demand-side platforms (DSPs) and sell-side platforms (SSPs). DSPs help advertisers buy digital ad inventory through automation, while SSPs compete for advertising demand within programmatic auctions and automate the sale of advertising space for publishers.

How does programmatic advertising help marketers?

Programmatic advertising helps marketers make the most of every cent and every second. By using precise targeting and real-time optimization, marketers can improve the efficiency of their campaigns and reach their audiences with individualized ads to engage and enhance brand visibility. 

Programmatic advertising also helps marketers budget their ad spend to ensure that their campaigns are maximizing ROI and reaching other KPIs. Programmatic advertising analyzes metrics and insights, giving marketers real-time transparency so they can refine their targeting strategies and ad placements to drive superior results.

How can IAS help?

The programmatic supply path can be a bit complex, so marketers need the most efficient buys and the fastest campaign optimization. IAS helps verify that your buys are made of Quality Impressions, which measures whether your ads are in-view, seen by a real person, in a brand safe and suitable environment, and in the correct geo. IAS also works to ensure the integrity of your brand and optimize your campaign effectiveness throughout every step of the supply path.

Here’s a quick look at what IAS can offer with our industry-leading programmatic product suite:

  • Optimization Pre-Bid Segments: Achieve optimal media quality results, hit KPIs, and ensure your ads are seen by real people in safe environments with real-time data.
  • Performance-Based Targeting: Apply Context Control optimization that lets you target contextually relevant content that aligns with your strategic objectives and amplifies your brand message.
  • Total Visibility: Activate more efficient campaigns, protect your spend, and deliver better ROI with the industry’s first Quality Path Optimization (QPO) product, Total Visibility™, which combines DSP log level data, financial, and supply path information with IAS media quality data to provide marketers with insight into the supply path, performance, quality, and cost of programmatic ads.
  • Automated Tag: Spend less time tagging and more time optimizing with our first-to-market tag management solution that gives you greater operational efficiencies with increased control of the campaign set-up process.

Constructing Your Quality Path: How media quality strengthens supply path optimization strategies https://integralads.com/insider/constructing-your-quality-path-research/ Wed, 16 Nov 2022 11:01:00 +0000 https://integralads.com/insider/constructing-your-quality-path-research/ Let's face it — the programmatic buying experience is complicated. Supply path optimization helps, but it doesn't account for the lack of transparency when it comes to identifying quality inventory. So how can marketers optimize their supply paths for both quality and cost efficiency?

Rebuild your supply path strategy with quality

Programmatic advertising is rapidly growing in adoption among marketers, but the purchasing experience is getting more complicated. Industry experts recognize that it’s critical to implement supply path optimization (SPO) into their programmatic strategy to ease the complexity — but recent IAS research found that media quality threats and lack of transparency are still a problem in programmatic buying. 

So how can marketers optimize their supply path strategies for both cost efficiency and higher media quality? 

In our latest research, we highlight the impact of Quality Path Optimization (QPO) — an advanced media strategy that identifies the most effective supply paths with both quality inventory and cost efficiency at the forefront. Here’s a snapshot of what we discovered: 

  • 91% of media experts believe qCPM is important for evaluating supply path performance
  • 89% of media experts endorsed multiple benefits of using QPO over SPO
  • +12pp: In an experiment, adding quality metrics lifted media experts’ confidence in path optimization decisions by 12 percentage points 

Download our latest research, Constructing your Quality Path, to see how quality can revolutionize your path optimization strategy.

A quick guide to optimizing your programmatic strategy

 

Advertisers are pushing for greater transparency into their programmatic buys and want to ensure that they are getting quality inventory from their ad spend.

IAS’s QPO solution, Total Visibility, provides programmatic supply path transparency with near real-time and impression-level financial reporting. Our industry-first solution grants advertisers the ability to:

  • Verify media quality using IAS’s brand safety, invalid traffic (IVT), and viewability metrics
  • Quantify media cost to understand the financial impact of blocked ads and cost of quality inventory

IAS is committed to closing the transparency gap and assuring programmatic campaign optimization. With Total Visibility, advertisers can monitor for both quality and cost to finally visualize the true financial impact of media quality.
