Programmatic Set to Move Up the Sales Funnel in 2015, Taking on High Impact Formats and Content Marketing
NEW YORK --(Business Wire)--
PulsePoint,
Inc., a next generation advertising technology platform, today
revealed the key findings of a new state of the industry intelligence
report, "The Future of Programmatic: When The Art & Science of
Advertising Collide," conducted by Digiday and PulsePoint.
Members of the buy and sell side of the advertising ecosystem were
polled on the current state of programmatic advertising and content
marketing to predict when the collision between the two will occur. The
new research serves as an indicator that fundamental changes are
expected to impact how advertisers and publishers will leverage
programmatic in the next 12 months.
"The marketplace is quickly evolving. Programmatic adoption will
continue to move up the funnel and power other types of marketing,
including content marketing. This research reflects the industry's
inevitable adoption of programmatic, but also sheds new light on which
areas of the advertising industry will be impacted the most by this
technological shift," said Sloan Gaon, CEO of PulsePoint.
KEY FINDINGS:
-
Programmatic is not just about direct response anymore. It's taking on
mid-upper level marketing objectives such as brand awareness.
-
71% of respondents think programmatic tech best supports
mid-upper funnel marketing objectives.

machine-based buying over manual or direct buying.

"This new research reveals the extent to which the inevitable collision
of art and science in advertising is happening," concluded Gaon. "New
technology advancements mean that marketers no longer need to choose
between solutions that offer both efficiency and high engagement."
PulsePoint CEO Sloan Gaon revealed this research onstage at the Digiday
Programmatic Summit in Fort Myers, Florida on November 18. The base for
this research study was 335 industry professionals on both sides of the
buy and sell aisle, including agencies, brands and publishers. Digiday,
a media company and community for digital media, marketing and
advertising professionals, conducted the study on behalf of PulsePoint
in October 2014.
