We control it so budget doesn't leak and you see where every ad appeared. ## What we do in your account. Programmatic means ads are not bought site by site, but by a system that decides in fractions of a second, for each person who opens a page or a video, whether it is worth showing your ad and at what cost. It is like a robot choosing the shop window for you, thousands of times a second. The problem is that in this channel budget leaks quietly: to low-quality sites, to impressions nobody saw, to audiences you bought ready-made from a third party. So we start from your own audiences, your customers and visitors, which usually perform better than bought ones, and we define from the start the pages where you don't want to appear. We show you which sites each ad appeared on and check whether the sales reported would have happened without it, so the channel does not grade itself. Because platforms loosen brand-safety limits when it suits them, we enforce them ourselves. It all runs on tools of our own, used only for our clients. ## What changes for you. - **Audiences from your customers** — We build audiences from your customers and visitors, not from ready-made lists of third parties. So the ad reaches people who resemble those who already buy from you. - **You see where it appeared** — Every month you see on which sites and apps your ads appeared. If there is somewhere you don't want to be, we cut it and note it down so it doesn't come back. - **Brand safety** — We define from the start the content and pages where you don't appear, and we enforce it ourselves, because platforms loosen the limits when it suits them. - **Impressions people actually saw** — We cut impressions no person saw: from bots, from hidden placements and from sites made only for ads. You pay for attention and not for numbers. - **Sales, not impressions** — We don't judge the channel by impressions and clicks. We measure sales and check whether they would have happened without the ad, so the channel doesn't take credit it hasn't earned. - **Display, video and CTV** — You reach your audience on sites, apps, video and living-room screens (CTV), with the same measurement and the same safety limits everywhere. We choose what fits your goal and budget. ## How we work. 1. **Audit** — We check whether programmatic fits your budget and goal, which audiences of your own exist and what you measure today. We tell you whether to start now or whether Google and Meta are enough. 2. **Audiences and measurement** — We build audiences from your customers and define what counts as success. We check that sales match your orders and set the brand-safety limits before we spend. 3. **Campaigns** — We start with a few audiences and creatives and see which sites they appear on. Every week we cut placements and audiences that don't perform, so the budget goes where it brings sales. 4. **Growth** — What works we extend to new audiences, formats and markets. Every month you see a report with the sales and the placements where your ad appeared, and if the channel doesn't pay off, we say so. ## FAQ ### What is programmatic, in plain English? It is the automatic way of buying advertising. Instead of agreeing with each site separately, a system decides in fractions of a second, for every impression, whether it is worth showing your ad to that person and at what cost. So you reach your audience on thousands of sites, apps and videos, with one account and one measurement. ### Does it work for small budgets? Usually not. The system needs enough purchases to learn whom it is worth showing the ad to, and with a small budget it doesn't find them. If your budget is small, Google and Meta usually perform better, and we tell you before you spend. Programmatic starts to make sense when the other channels already work and you want more volume. ### How do I know where my ads appear? Every month we give you a report with the sites and apps where your ads appeared, with the sales that belong to each. If you see somewhere you don't want, we cut it and note it down. You don't need to trust the platform to have done its job right, because you can check it. ### What does it cost and what budget is needed? You set the budget and it is usually charged per thousand impressions. It needs to be enough for the system to learn, so we start with a limited test and clear criteria and scale only when a profit shows. We agree the terms of our work after the audit. ### What are the risks? Mainly three: impressions no person saw, ads on pages you don't want to represent you, and measurement that shows more than really happened. We don't avoid them with promises but with checks: exclusion lists, placement reports and sales checks, and we tell you openly if something doesn't work.
