NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PulsePoint, Inc., a next generation advertising technology platform, today revealed the key findings of a new state of the industry intelligence report, “The Future of Programmatic: When The Art & Science of Advertising Collide,” conducted by Digiday and PulsePoint.
Members of the buy and sell side of the advertising ecosystem were polled on the current state of programmatic advertising and content marketing to predict when the collision between the two will occur. The new research serves as an indicator that fundamental changes are expected to impact how advertisers and publishers will leverage programmatic in the next 12 months.
“The marketplace is quickly evolving. Programmatic adoption will continue to move up the funnel and power other types of marketing, including content marketing. This research reflects the industry’s inevitable adoption of programmatic, but also sheds new light on which areas of the advertising industry will be impacted the most by this technological shift,” said Sloan Gaon, CEO of PulsePoint.
KEY FINDINGS:
-
Programmatic is not just about direct response anymore. It’s taking on
mid-upper level marketing objectives such as brand awareness.
- 71% of respondents think programmatic tech best supports mid-upper funnel marketing objectives.

High-impact, custom ad units, such as video, will move to
programmatic, following display’s lead.

“This new research reveals the extent to which the inevitable collision of art and science in advertising is happening,” concluded Gaon. “New technology advancements mean that marketers no longer need to choose between solutions that offer both efficiency and high engagement.”
PulsePoint CEO Sloan Gaon revealed this research onstage at the Digiday Programmatic Summit in Fort Myers, Florida on November 18. The base for this research study was 335 industry professionals on both sides of the buy and sell aisle, including agencies, brands and publishers.
