In 2024, the programmatic ad tech landscape will be a very different place than it was in 2020. Many publishers are still trying to figure out how to monetize their content, while others have turned to AdTech to help them 3X their ad revenue. Here’s a look at MonetizeMore’s vision of the ad tech landscape for this year.
A DSP or demand-side platform allows brands and advertisers to buy impressions across publisher properties and submit their ad creatives all in one single adtech platform.

Supply-side platforms programmatically bid on the publisher’s premium ad space that’s in stock. Once the auction is over, the publisher displays these SSP ads on their app or website.
