Video to make programmatic breakthrough in 2015

Online video is expanding dramatically, with programmatic following close behind. Not only does this union promise more efficiency and higher CPMs, but it offers more control over user experience through better targeting.

While the industry is familiar forecasts that 25% of all display ad spend will be programmatic in 2014, video is now expected to reach the same level of automation next year. This growth is due to a combination of private exchanges, premium publishers and digital pure-play broadcasters, a segment that is itself rapidly expanding.

LiveRail’s Vijay Balan discusses how Deal ID, a package of inventory that publishers can provision for buyers based on audience or performance parameters, takes advantage of these trends.
