Based on the KPIs included in the brief, we recommend the most optimal ad spaces. If we find an advertiser who sells board games on the Internet, we know from our broad experience that we need to ensure that the deal should be optimized in terms of the highest CTR; so non-standard creatives are necessary in order to make the whole work, e.g. Rich Media, as well as the list of services matching advertiser target groups and geolocations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color has-normal-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 20px\">5 Key Elements of Programmatic Campaign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Provide a description on the <b>available technology<\/b>.<\/li><li>Walk us through the <b>campaign landscape<\/b>. <\/li><li>Describe the <b>target audience<\/b>. <\/li><li>Highlight <b>creative formats<\/b>.<\/li><li>Tell us more about preferred <b>transaction type<\/b>.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/yieldbird.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/scan-1.png\" alt=\"Create Brief Programmatic\" class=\"wp-image-22095\" width=\"447\" height=\"324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yieldbird.com\/research-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/scan-1.png 697w, https:\/\/yieldbird.com\/research-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/scan-1-300x217.png 300w, https:\/\/yieldbird.com\/research-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/scan-1-150x109.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 447px) 100vw, 447px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/yieldbird.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/scan-2.png\" alt=\"good brief for a programmatic\" class=\"wp-image-22096\" width=\"441\" height=\"178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yieldbird.com\/research-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/scan-2.png 805w, https:\/\/yieldbird.com\/research-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/scan-2-300x121.png 300w, https:\/\/yieldbird.com\/research-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/scan-2-150x61.png 150w, https:\/\/yieldbird.com\/research-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/scan-2-768x311.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 441px) 100vw, 441px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color has-normal-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h23 style=\"font-size: 20px\">1.

Choosing the right media-buying methods will impact positively on your campaign. There are a wide range of models which you can choose from. Keep in mind that RTB, PMP, or Programmatic Guaranteed will provide you with you different options &#8211; some of them are more transparent, whereas others are more accurate. <a href=\"https:\/\/yieldbird.com\/direct-sales\/\">Your choice should depend on your needs and requirements<\/a>.<br><br>One of the most important factors for our Publishers is a fixed CPM, as they want to book the right amount of ad space for the estimated traffic on their website and have control over their campaign. Programmatic Guaranteed will ensure this transparency by giving you insight into how many ad views are about to be delivered. In order to be able to estimate and then book the space in this media-buying model, it is necessary to include the following items of additional information in the brief: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><b>Timing<\/b> (in the case of a Flat Fee) \u2013 providing a specific time frame for a transaction. <\/li><li><b>Geolocation<\/b> \u2013 the list of countries where the creatives will appear (GEO Google Tag). <\/li><li><b>Advertiser name<\/b> as specified in the Buyer&#8217;s platform.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color has-normal-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 20px\">Conclusions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color has-normal-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/yieldbird.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/0242-art-27.01-03-1024x632.png\" alt=\"campaign brief for programmatic specialist\" class=\"wp-image-22100\" width=\"227\" height=\"139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yieldbird.com\/research-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/0242-art-27.01-03-1024x632.png 1024w, https:\/\/yieldbird.com\/research-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/0242-art-27.01-03-300x185.png 300w, https:\/\/yieldbird.com\/research-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/0242-art-27.01-03-150x93.png 150w, https:\/\/yieldbird.com\/research-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/0242-art-27.01-03-768x474.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 227px) 100vw, 227px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-text-color has-normal-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Programmatic advertising is crucial for both advertisers and publishers. <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.emarketer.com\/topics\/category\/programmatic%20direct\">eMarketer predicts<\/a> that <a href=\"https:\/\/yieldbird.com\/programmatic-advertising-2020\/\">the spend on programmatic is set to reach over $100 billion by the end of this year<\/a>.
