Upscaling your Marketing with Programmatic Advertising
This pandemic in the country has led to all brands going digital
if they wish to reach out to their customers and finally prosper in
this new world situation. This was mostly due to the lockdowns that
followed that forced all physical stores to be shut down. With a lot of
brands going digital in such a small duration, all of them were looking
for a cheap and cost-effective way to do so. It is in this chaos that
gave rise to the popularity of Programmatic Advertising.
What is Programmatic Advertising?
Programmatic Advertising if condensed into a single sentence
would be ‘collecting data from previous marketing campaigns and using it
to help better the future campaigns while using a system specific
algorithm’. The Indian market accepted this form of advertising campaign
with open arms, this is due to the fact that this helped Indian brands
move into the online market with minimal investment.
Another
factor that helped in the growth of this form of advertising is that it
requires the audience to engage with the content through any online
medium. It helps that India has the highest population of smartphone
users than any other country in the world.
Studies have shown that due to these factors, programmatic advertising is on the rise and grows by 70% almost every year.
