Digital video programmatic guaranteed served through OTT or CTV is the next emerging platform.
This type of ad inventory is very valuable to advertisers and programmatic guaranteed is easy to manage.
eMarketer estimates video ad spend to reach $27.82 billion in 2018.
With a projected growth of 30% YOY and 25% of all US digital ad spend.
Almost 25% of that budget goes to Facebook ($6.81 bn) and $3.36 bn to YouTube.
Buying video advertising on both Facebook and YouTube is easy.
However, the downside is also significant, with many brand safety and measurement issues.
Why does programmatic guaranteed seem to be preferred over flexible auctions?
The auction model has many limitations with speed, creative quality, fraud and more.
To stay clear of fraudulent inventory which is non-human and non-viewable, advertisers go with programmatic guaranteed.
CTV is also on the rise and with it Facebook, Amazon, Roku and Google’s hold on the market.
The next wave of this trend is scaling and offering complex orders that buyers demand.
No doubt, video advertising through programmatic guaranteed remains a massive opportunity for publishers moving into 2019 and beyond.
