It is the medium most desired by programmatic ad-tech execs, who\u00a0can sniff a slice of a $70 billion advertising industry. But TV is still only on the path to programmatic, not yet at full conversion.<\/p>\n

Still, one ad group man says the prospects for that tipping point are now looking a lot healthier, five years after it began.<\/p>\n

“We seem to be turning a corner regarding broadcasts and their engagement in the programmatic space,”\u00a0SMG\u2019s performance marketing CEO Marco Bertozzi<\/a> tells Beet.TV in this video interview.\u00a0“We are seeing broadcasters have realised they need to find a way to understand their own audience better, and help advertisers deliver more specifically.”<\/p>\n

Recently, UK satellite\u00a0operate Sky invested in the brand data and analytics platform\u00a0DataXu, while Videology has also struck a number of broadcaster partnerships.<\/p>\n

“All of of the mainstream broadcasters are doing something now in this space,” Bertozzi says. “After quite a few years of resistance, it\u2019s a positive shift, and a demonstration of the last hurdle toward programmatic being part of every channel that we operate in.”<\/p>\n

But, so far, broadcasters’ programmatic foray has been limited to their digitally-delivered video-on-demand inventory. The next five years will see the shift of linear TV, too, Bertozzi reckons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
