Specialized advertising

Programmatic buying with the supply chain in plain sight

Display, video, CTV, audio and DOOH bought through demand-side platforms — with itemised costs, curated supply and placement reporting you can actually audit.

Fee transparency

Programmatic is where hidden margin usually lives. We itemise media cost, platform fees, data costs and our management fee separately in every report, and we do not take undisclosed rebates.

Channels

What you can buy programmatically

One planning framework across six inventory types, with frequency and measurement governed centrally.

  • Display

    Standard and high-impact display across open exchange and curated supply.

  • Online video

    In-stream and out-stream video with viewability and completion targets.

  • Connected TV

    CTV and OTT inventory with household-level frequency management.

  • Digital audio

    Streaming audio and podcast inventory with companion units.

  • Digital out-of-home

    Screen networks bought programmatically with day-part triggers.

  • Native programmatic

    Native units bought through DSPs alongside the rest of the plan.

Capabilities

How we run programmatic

  • Deal & supply curation

    Private marketplace deals, curated supply paths and open-exchange targeting chosen deliberately rather than by default.

    • PMP and deal ID setup
    • Supply path considerations
    • Inventory allow-lists
  • Audience strategy

    First-party audience onboarding, contextual and cohort strategies designed to survive third-party cookie loss.

    • First-party onboarding
    • Contextual segments
    • Suppression lists
  • Brand safety & verification

    Category and keyword exclusions, verification-vendor integration and post-campaign scrutiny of where ads actually ran.

    • Exclusion lists
    • Verification integration
    • Placement audits
  • Frequency & pacing

    Cross-device frequency caps, budget pacing and flight management so delivery does not front-load into waste.

    • Cross-device caps
    • Even or accelerated pacing
    • Flight-level control
  • Measurement design

    Attribution windows, viewability standards and — where budget allows — incrementality or brand-lift study design.

    • Attribution windows
    • Viewability standards
    • Lift study design
  • Cost transparency

    Media cost, platform fees and our management fee are itemised separately. No blended, undisclosed markup.

    • Itemised media cost
    • Platform fees disclosed
    • Separate management fee
