How can programmatic advertising help bookmakers stand out in a crowded sports betting marketplace? Get the answers to the key questions below from our experienced, knowledgeable ad:s team.

What is programmatic advertising?

Programmatic advertising is the automated buying and selling of advertising, using cutting-edge technology and algorithms to ensure the most relevant and engaging ad-content gets in front of consumers. This differs from more traditional forms of digital advertising, which are generally performed manually.

By automating the process, bookmakers, for example, not only reduce the time required to launch and complete campaigns, they also ensure a better ROI for their budgets by getting adverts in front of sports fans more efficiently.

How does programmatic advertising for bookmakers work?

The ad:s programmatic solution relies on three essential components.

Firstly, a database of user information collected from a range of online sources, ensuring a clear picture of sports fans, including their preferences and behaviours.

Secondly, the technology to put these insights into action, through a programmatic platform that allows campaign objectives, targets, budgets and messages to be optimised in real-time.

Thirdly, reliable and cost-effective connections with a bookmaker’s chosen target through access to the most influential publishers.

Is programmatic advertising effective?

Programmatic is one of the most efficient and effective forms of digital marketing. When coupled with quality data, the right tech solutions and human expertise, the results make it a crucial element of any digital marketing strategy.

Programmatic can create audience segments based on historical data before actioning an automated campaign to buy audiences at scale while being able to optimise in real time, thereby reducing time and budget wastage.

What is a Data Management Platform (DMP)?

A Data Management Platform (DMP) is tech used for managing and collecting online data, designed to run digital marketing campaigns more efficiently by building a clear online profile of sports fans.

What is a Demand-side Platform (DSP) in advertising?
