What is programmatic advertising?
Programmatic advertising allows brands to display ads on digital screens using an automated, data-driven approach. Unlike traditional manual ad buying, which can be costly and inconsistent, programmatic advertising in New Zealand—powered by OMDIGI Group, uses advanced algorithms and real-time bidding to deliver the right message to the right audience at the right time.
OMDIGI Group can buy programmatic ads across nearly every digital display, including websites outside Google’s network. Our solutions also extend to radio, out-of-home (OOH) advertising, podcasts, display, and BVOD, offering a comprehensive and diverse range of advertising opportunities.
How does programmatic advertising work?
Programmatic advertising involves two main parties: advertisers, who want to run ads, and publishers, who own the platforms or websites where the ads appear. As with traditional advertising, publishers sell their inventory, and advertisers purchase placements to display their ads.
The difference is that programmatic advertising automates this process, eliminating the need for direct interaction between advertisers and publishers. This streamlining makes the process more efficient and allows more time to optimise campaigns and enhance ad performance.
What are the main types of programmatic advertising?
Real-time bidding
Real-time bidding (RTB) is the most common type of programmatic bidding and takes place instantly. Also called the “open marketplace,” it allows any company to bid on available ad placements. Ads are awarded to the highest bidder, but the winning advertiser only pays $0.01 more than the second-highest bid. RTB is highly competitive and dynamic, enabling advertisers to secure premium inventory in real time.
Private marketplace
Unlike real-time bidding, where your ads can appear on any site, a private marketplace (PMP) is invite-only, and you know exactly which sites your ads will run on. This type of programmatic advertising is typically offered by high-reach websites that reserve premium ad inventory for a select group of advertisers.
Preferred deals
With preferred deals, advertisers can secure ad placements before they become available in private marketplaces or real-time bidding auctions. These deals involve a fixed price for the ad space, with both parties agreeing on terms—such as pricing and targeting—before the placement is claimed.
Programmatic guaranteed
Programmatic guaranteed follows a traditional media-buying approach. There’s no bidding involved; instead, advertisers and publishers agree directly on a fixed price for the ad inventory.
BENEFIT
Targeting
With our programmatic advertising solution, you can target your audience with precision—based on demographics, interests, behaviour, location, and more. This granularity ensures your ads reach the right people across multiple platforms and channels, boosting conversion rates while minimising wasted ad spend.

BENEFIT
Optimisation
Programmatic advertising lets you optimise campaigns in real time using performance data. Whether running radio, out-of-home, podcast, display, or BVOD ads, you can track metrics like click-through rates, conversions, and engagement to make data-driven adjustments. This flexibility ensures your campaigns deliver the best possible results across every medium.

BENEFIT
Efficiency
Programmatic advertising automates the ad-buying process, removing the need for manual negotiations and paperwork. This saves time and resources, allowing you to focus on other key areas of your business. It also enables you to reach a broader audience efficiently across multiple channels and ad formats.

BENEFIT
Cost-effectiveness
Programmatic advertising provides cost advantages by cutting out intermediaries and minimising human errors. With real-time bidding, you pay only for ad impressions that reach your target audience, ensuring your budget is used efficiently across radio, out-of-home, podcasts, display, and BVOD. Automation also reduces the operational costs typically associated with traditional advertising methods.

BENEFIT
Transparency
Programmatic advertising delivers unmatched transparency across all ad campaigns. You gain access to detailed reports and analytics, enabling you to track the performance of radio, out-of-home, podcast, display, and BVOD ads. This visibility allows you to make informed decisions and optimise your campaigns for better results, regardless of where your ads are running.
