What is programmatic advertising?

The application of AI in marketing, i.e. the automation of advertising processes, can be described as programmatic advertising.

During this auction, a user enters the website of ad network participant and the network transfers user data to the purchasing platform. The platform analyzes data using artificial intelligence and selects ads that can be shown to the certain visitor.

Using the auction, the advertising network chooses promotion banners and show them to the user. The whole process is fast due to AI algorithms and automated system.

Advantages of AI in advertising

AI models allow marketers to control ad campaigns, determining goals and all necessary settings on their own.
