FAQ on programmatic audio advertising

How does programmatic audio advertising work?

Programmatic advertising uses real-time bidding (RTB) technology to buy and serve ads. Advertisers set a budget, targeting criteria and advertising themes in a demand-side platform (DSP). The DSP then bids for the ad inventory on supply-side platforms (SSP), which are websites and applications where ad space is available. The highest bidder wins the auction and their ad is displayed to the target audience.

What are Real-Time Biddings (RTBs)?

Real-Time Bidding (RTB) is a type of data-driven programmatic buying where marketers can purchase impressions in a fraction of a second via a real-time auction. When a visitor arrives on a website, the publisher immediately auctions off the available ad space and the advertiser with the highest bid to the DSP wins the space for their ad.

What is a demand-side platform (DSP)?

A demand-side platform (DSP), in its most basic form, is an advertising technology platform that represents the buy-side (advertisers) in the purchase of online advertising space and allows brands and agencies to purchase different types of inventory from many publishers through a single unified interface.

Advertisers can use a DSP to buy ad impressions on publisher sites and target specific audiences using third-party data sources. The advertiser submits bids for ad space to the platform, and the DSP automatically allocates the ad impressions based on the bid price and the advertiser's choice of audience.

As a result, marketers benefit from precise ad placement and publishers benefit from the best bid price for their inventory.

What is a supply-side platform (SSP)?

Publishers use supply-side platforms (SSPs) to manage their inventory in the same way that advertisers use demand-side platforms (DSPs) to manage their programmatic ad buying. In other words, an SSP allows publishers to target different advertisers and sell ad space at the best possible price.

This automated system connects to an ad exchange and shares auction inventory through real-time bidding. By linking to many ad exchanges and expanding the publisher's visibility to potential buyers, the SSP is designed to maximize the amount publishers receive for each ad view.

An SSP also allows publishers to filter ads by specific categories of advertisers or channels and set variable prices for ad space to determine the most acceptable cost.
