New and Improved!
Programmatic advertising’s ever growing presence in Canada continues to change the way digital media is bought and sold. In 2018, it was estimated that programmatic accounted for 70.1% of all digital display ad spend* and that number is expected to continue to rise. Get up-to-speed on the basics of programmatic and much more with our all new intensive in-person course.
New for 2019, programmatic buying and selling advertising has gotten so big we couldn’t cover it all in just one day! – This year we have expanded our programmatic course by a half-day, allowing you to dive even deeper into the data side of programmatic advertising. Data has always been at the center of programmatic advertising but is all data created equally? To use it correctly you have to first know where the data is coming from, how it passes through the various systems and how you can leverage it.
DAY ONE – The Basics (Full Day)
Day one of the course will give you an overview of programmatic advertising; how it works, who the major players are, what the essential tools of the trade are as well as how it is planned and measured. The primary focus is on the buy side of the process, though the supply side is also covered, so as to give you a complete picture of the ecosystem. We will also look at programmatic “Hot Topics” like: fraud, viewability and transparency.
DAY TWO – Data Deep Dive (Half Day)
On day two we’ll look at data and its role in programmatic advertising: various types of data, how it is sourced, how it’s used in programmatic advertising and the legalities surrounding it. To finish the course we do live tech demonstrations so you can see how data is used in SSPs (Supply Side Platforms) and DSPs (Demand Side Platforms) to create successful programmatic campaigns.
