PR News' Programmatic Marketing Workshop
November 8 in New York City

Learn how target, automate and optimize your next ad spend.

So...what is programmatic?

Programmatic advertising provides brands with increasingly targeted ways to get their content in front of just the right audience--and discover new audiences as well. But while the topic is widely discussed in marketing circles, it’s often misunderstood due to its technical complexities and ever-evolving nature.

In this morning workshop, our trainers will demystify the process and use real-world case studies to help you target, automate and optimize your next ad spend. You’ll be sure to leave armed with the knowledge to expertly execute on your next campaign and communicate to the C-suite why they need to invest in this crucial technology.

    Google, Facebook & Amazon: Big Data and the Now and Future Kings of Programmatic

    Big Data rules everything around us, capturing our location, spending habits and interests everywhere we go. And in the era of Big Data, Google, Facebook and Amazon reign supreme, with 85% of the ad tech marketplace cornered. Here’s how they’re likely to continue changing the rules of the programmatic ad game, what those changes mean to you, and what the remaining 15% of the programmatic ad marketplace looks like.

    We’ll cover:

    • The unique value of Facebook’s mobile-centric audience data
    • How Amazon could sell purchase history data (including what customers thought about buying, but didn't) to advertisers
    • Predictions for what programmatic ad buys will look like in 2018 and beyond
    • What role communications and marketing professionals play in handling the strategy and optimization of ad dollars, versus the processes that are becoming software-automated 
    • Who on your team should handle programmatic ad buys, and where to pull the programmatic marketing budget from
    • What the EU’s GDPR data protection act means for the future of programmatic marketing
