Summary

Marketing leaders and publishers are pursuing programmatic ad trading to achieve greater efficiencies and inform sales and campaign execution strategies with more-granular and more-precise customer and market data.

Unfortunately, the specs of this trading protocol are still undetermined after years of discussions: There is no universally accepted definition, and consequently, its adoption remains sporadic.
