Taking Inventory… of the Inventory
One of the biggest challenges around programmatic when it comes to TV is which parts of a linear inventory are available to be sold programmatically now and in the likely future. We’ll tease out that tangle, and also provide critical intel on how programmatic inventory is affecting the marketing goals of your clients – and where there’s expected to be the most growth in coming year. In short, this is the blueprint you’re going to want and need.

Mining Data – And Turning it into Gold
At its most basic, programmatic is about the insertion of minute chips of data and segmentation into media buying. So the critical question centers on which data counts right now when it comes to attracting eyeballs, as well as how that informs buying decisions. We’ll deliver the state-of-the-art thinking on that topic and go even further, showing you examples of the best blend of data and creative, to deliver a consumer experience that’s both rich and high-performing. You’re going to want to be in the room for this.

Measure for Measure
Proving viewership across viewing streams from broadcast TV to mobile means that sellers need the ability to combine disparate measurement stats from multiple providers and their own research in order to present a comprehensive picture of live and time-shifted viewing. That’s where programmatic can be of use, managing rates across devices and streams and supplying media owners with more elasticity in fulfilling audience guarantees. But who’s measuring what and which metrics are emerging as most important? And what do those numbers mean relative to other measurement tools? This will provide all the explanation you’re going to need to use programmatic efficiently to reach scale, even as the market morphs.
