PROGRAMMATIC FAQ
FAQ FOR PROGRAMMATIC DIGITAL OUT OF HOME (OOH)
Programmatic advertising is a specific form of shopping. It doesn’t have to be RTB. Programmatic is a platform-driven and automated handling of campaigns.
It is essentially about evaluating an advertising space on the basis of extensive information in the form of data. In this way, it can be determined which advertising space best suits the user at what time with which content.

The main differences are:
Programmatic display, programmatic mobile and programmatic video is always one-to-one medium and programmatic out of home (OoH) is one-to-many medium.
Programmatic display, programmatic mobile and programmatic video work with the RBT protocol and the pricing aspect works via auction mechanisms (private auction or open auction) as well as fixed price mechanisms (preferred deal or automated guaranteed). In Programmatic Out of Home (OoH) there is currently no auction mechanism, no comprehensive real-time optimization and no real-time reporting or real-time bidding process. In the area of programmatic Out of Home (OoH), the campaigns are delivered according to a previously conducted negotiation (private deal).
In the Programmatic Out of Home (OoH) area, market research data is still used for planning and as proof of coverage. For Programmatic Display,
Programmatic Mobile and Programmatic Video could use the real-time data for range measurement and, if necessary, for pre-bid strategy.
Ad blockers, viewability and brand safety are not yet an issue in the Programmatic Out of Home (OoH) area.

Currently, one could say that the counting differences are almost zero. At the hourly level, there could be “shifts” if a spot starts at 13:59:55 and ends at 14:00:05, for example.

Other terms for domain level transparency: URL transparency, full transparent, fully transparent
2) Semi-Transparent: Example: www.abc.de or www.xyz.de. Here, as a buyer, you know exactly which page/domain it is. The programmatic buyers / programmatic advertisers receive limited information max. at Top Level Domain.
Other terms for Semi Transparent: Domain Transparency Level, Site Transparency

or channel visible to the programmatic buyer.
In the first-price auction in programmatic buying, the highest bidder pays exactly the price for the display of their advertising that they bid. On the other hand, in the second-price auction in programmatic buying, the highest bidder only pays the price that is higher than the second-highest bid, but lower than the highest bid.
Example:
Company “ABC” and company “XYZ”, both want to programmatically buy pre-roll from publisher “Total Toll”.
- Bid Request from Publisher Total Toll is for at least. 12 euros CPM.
- Company ABC places a bid of 14 euros CPM and company XYZ submits an offer of 13 euros CPM.
- Result of second-price auction: Company ABC wins the pre-roll ad impression at the “clearing price” of 13 euros + 0.01 euros = 13.01 euros CPM.
- Result of the first-price auction: company ABC wins the pre-roll ad impression for the 14 euro CPM price offered.
As we see here, in both cases ABC company wins the pre-roll ad impression. Company ABC’s purchase price differs depending on whether they are doing the pre-roll
won an ad impression in a first-price or second-price auction.
