Six formats, one plan
Display, native, video, digital out of home, digital audio and connected TV, planned and bought together.
Programmatic puts your brand in front of the right people, wherever they are: display, native, video, digital out of home, digital audio and connected TV, all planned as one. We pair better data with experienced people, so your media investment works harder and reaches the audiences that grow your business.
Programmatic buys ad space through automated, real-time auctions across thousands of sites, apps and screens. That gives you scale. What makes it perform is what sits behind each bid: the quality of your audience data, and the people optimising it every day.

Audiences from your data Built from your first-party data and performance history, so you know where every audience came from.
Placements managed by people Inventory quality and brand safety actively managed and reviewed, not left to platform defaults.
Measured with everything else Results sit in Total Intelligence alongside every other channel, so you see the whole picture.
Programmatic advertising is buying digital ad space through automated, real-time auctions, without negotiating directly with each publisher. Every time a page or app loads, an auction runs in milliseconds and the most relevant bid wins the impression.
The demand-side platforms (DSP) decides whether to bid, and how much, based on who the viewer is likely to be. The better the audience data behind it, the better those decisions.
The formats go well beyond banner ads:
Better data. Most agencies can access broadly the same platforms; the difference is the quality of the signals you feed them. Campaigns built on your first-party data and coupled with real performance history consistently outperform those built on generic third-party segments. So we build privacy-first audiences from data you own, and they get stronger the longer they run.
Three disciplines turn reach into results: premium inventory, verified impressions and smart frequency.
We use inclusion and exclusion lists to place your brand in quality environments, then review placement reports by hand to make sure it stays there.
We measure viewable impressions and monitor for invalid traffic, so the numbers you see describe ads a real person could have seen.
We set frequency as a performance decision, not a default setting. The right number of repeats builds recall. Beyond that, your budget does more reaching someone new.
Programmatic works best as part of the whole plan, building the awareness and consideration that search and social then convert.
It often creates demand that search captures later. So we report both into Total Intelligence, our in-house data platform, and see what each channel contributes across Awareness, Consideration & Convert.
Programmatic has more jargon than most channels, and more ways to waste money unnoticed. Here’s what clients ask us most about formats, brand safety and budgets.
A programmatic advertising agency plans, buys and manages your ads through automated auctions across display, native, video, digital out of home, digital audio and connected TV. The valuable part is the supervision: defining the audience, choosing and checking inventory, controlling frequency, and reporting what people could have seen alongside your other channels.
Programmatic buys ad space across the open web, apps, screens and streaming services. Paid social buys space inside social platforms, using their own audience data. Programmatic gives you broader reach; paid social gives you richer targeting within a walled garden.
No. Programmatic advertising also covers video, connected TV, digital audio, podcasts and digital out of home, and thinking it’s only banners is the most common misconception we hear. Display is simply the oldest part of it.
Programmatic brand safety comes from inclusion and exclusion lists, category blocking and regular review of the actual placement reports, not trust in platform defaults. No approach is perfect, which is exactly why the reporting matters as much as the settings do.
Yes, programmatic can work on a smaller budget, provided the audience is tightly defined. Small budgets fail when they’re spread thinly across broad targeting. Narrow the audience and the same money buys meaningful frequency against the people who matter.
