The rapid pace of change in digital and online advertising is the focus of our September and October Advertisers Toolkit seminars #AAIToolkit. To kick off we look at how more and more advertising budgets are moving to programmatic buying while brand conversations are also being developed with user generated content.
“Programmatic Advertising Explained”
Dave Lenny, Head of Programmatic at AMNET Ireland (Dentsu Aegis Network) will discuss the shift within advertising from media focused buying strategies to audience led campaigns and insights. His talk will review some of the common misconceptions around programmatic and provide clarity to the overly used buzz-words and phrases.
In addition Dave will explain what a trading desk does, why agencies are moving to buy programmatically and will review the technological elements involved in a buying process. Dave’s talk will conclude with an overview of how programmatic will impact more traditional offline channels in the not too distant future.
“The Authentic Advertising Revolution”
Roisin Linney and Anna Pas from Wolfgang Digital will provide an introduction to the world of user-generated content (“USG”) and run through three case studies that provide example of smart social for organic conversations:
