Programmatic advertising is often considered a "must-have" for brands, except for those in those within the luxury sector. Unfortunately, programmatic does not pack the same punch as a direct buy. The Drum offers a few strategies including how brands should work with publishers directly to create custom programmatic solutions. 

2. Mobile accounts for largest share of programmatic spending

Research shows that over $15.45 billion dollars will be spent on mobile programmatic in the US alone. Coming in at whopping 69%, mobile devices now account for the highest share of programmatic display.  E-commerce sites are even forgoing desktop sites in favor of creating mobile apps.  MediaPost discusses more and provides details all of the findings from a recent study done on the programmatic display market.

Facebook knows too as they will soon offer a header bidding option for publishers, complete with higher CPMs. Will this make publishers solely dependent on Facebook?
