PROGRAMMATIC
CONTINUES TO
MOVE MOBILE
Mobile programmatic
inventory and ad
spend increased
significantly in 2014
and will continue to
grow exponentially in
the next three years.
NORTH AMERICAN MARKET SHARE WILL SHIFT TO EUROPE & ASIA
As Europe and Asia ramp up programmatic buying, they have the benefit of learning from
early challenges and innovations made in the US, including targeting options beyond the
cookie. Both markets are in a prime position to benefit from programmatic and will contin-
ue to capture more of the market share in 2015.
CONTEXTUAL TARGETING WILL MOVE
RTB BEYOND THE COOKIE AND UP
THE FUNNEL
Contextual targeting is a fundamental building
block of advertising and will be more critical than
ever. Why? Because together, contextual and
programmatic data technology will enable smarter
audience targeting where 1st and 3rd party cookie
data is less prevalent.
