Programmatic Advertising Agency

Programmatic display services are automated, data-driven platforms that facilitate the buying, selling, and optimisation of digital display ads in real time. These services use artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to target the right audience, improving ad performance and efficiency.

Unlike traditional ad buying, which involves manual negotiations and fixed placements, programmatic display services operate through demand-side platforms (DSPs) and supply-side platforms (SSPs). DSPs help advertisers bid for impressions across multiple websites, while SSPs allow publishers to sell ad inventory. Real-time bidding (RTB) is a key mechanism in programmatic advertising, where ad impressions are auctioned in milliseconds.

At Ayko, our programmatic services offer various targeting options, such as behavioural, contextual, demographic, and geo-targeting, ensuring ads reach users most likely to engage. They also support dynamic creative optimisation (DCO), adjusting ad content based on user behaviour.

Overall, programmatic display advertising revolutionises digital advertising by automating processes, optimising ad spend, and enhancing targeting precision, making it an essential tool for modern marketers.

How we can work with you

Programmatic Display Advertising

Automated, real-time bidding for targeted ad placements across multiple websites and apps. This method offers advanced targeting capabilities, such as behavioural, demographic, contextual, and geo-targeting, improving engagement and return on investment (ROI). Platforms like Google Display & Video 360 and Amazon DSP are commonly used for our programmatic campaigns.

 Direct Buy Display Advertising

Purchasing ad placements directly from publishers for guaranteed impressions and premium inventory. While direct buy offers more control and brand safety, it can be more expensive and less flexible compared to programmatic advertising. It is best suited for brands looking to secure high-quality placements on trusted websites with a guaranteed audience reach.

Retargeting (Remarketing) Ads

Displaying ads to users who have previously visited a website to re-engage and drive conversions. It works by tracking visitors through cookies or pixels and displaying relevant ads to them as they browse other websites or social media platforms. It can be highly effective for brand awareness, and encouraging users to make the purchase.

Native Display Advertising

Seamlessly integrated ads that match the look and feel of the platform for a non-disruptive user experience. Unlike traditional banner ads, native ads match the format, style, and tone of the surrounding content, improving user experience and engagement.

Key Features include: Non-Disruptive Experience: Native ads are designed to feel like part of the platform, reducing ad fatigue and increasing interaction. Higher Engagement Rates: Users are more likely to click on native ads since they don’t look like traditional ads. Multiple Formats: Can appear as in-feed ads, sponsored articles, recommended content, or promoted listings on platforms.
