For agencies and media sellers · The Meta Layer for DSPs

Situational campaigns as a product for your clients.

Programmatiq sits on top of your DSP as a control layer. It links weather, pollen, trends or events with your rules and switches line items on exactly where the situation fits. No personal data, and it can be combined with your existing audiences.

Today

Signals are disappearing, clients want something new.

  • Fewer signals: Without cookies, audiences shrink and get more expensive.
  • New ideas, new tools: Every innovation often means yet another system and new workflows.
  • Hard to explain: Clients want to know why a campaign ran when and where.

With Programmatiq

A meta layer on top of your DSP.

  • Scale cookie-free: Situations work without consent and can be combined with your DSP audiences.
  • No switchover: You plan in your DSP as usual. Programmatiq only controls when and where your line items run.
  • Verifiable: For every activation you see the data that triggered it, ready for any client report.

Live in four steps

Your campaign is set up in the DSP as usual. Programmatiq connects to it and takes over the situational control.

  1. Set up the campaign

    As always in your DSP, for example in ActiveAgent: with budget, ads and line items.

  2. Connect to Programmatiq

    Programmatiq fetches the campaign and line items by ID. You don't have to create anything new.

  3. Choose signals and rules

    You link situations, thresholds and, if needed, target regions to the line items.

  4. Steer automatically

    Programmatiq activates or pauses line items and updates the matching geo-targeting.

Try it out

One rule, six regions

Choose a data source and move the threshold. Programmatiq decides for each region whether the line item runs.

  • Weather, pollen and jackpots are checked continuously
  • A competitor's TV spot triggers immediately
  • Every change goes into the log

Who does what?

Programmatiq does not replace a buying platform. It decides when and where your campaign runs. Everything else stays in your DSP.

What agencies often ask us

How does Programmatiq work with my DSP?

You set up the campaign in the DSP as usual. Programmatiq fetches the campaign and line items by ID, activates or pauses them depending on the situation and updates the geo-targeting.

Do I have to rebuild existing campaigns?

No. Campaign setup, budget, creatives and audiences stay in your DSP. Programmatiq only controls when and where the line items run. You can test it alongside your current workflows.

Can I keep using my DSP audiences?

Yes. Situations can be combined with your existing audiences. Programmatiq itself needs no data about individual people for this.

How fine-grained is the control?

Down to the postcode. How fine it gets in your campaign depends on the setup, for example the DSP and the chosen signals. We clarify this in the demo.

Can we include our clients' data?

Yes. Your own data, such as sales figures per branch, can be added to pin down situations even more precisely.

Do you also work on client campaigns together with us?

Yes. You can work in Programmatiq yourself, or we run campaigns for your clients together.

Which channels are possible?

Everything your platform delivers: websites, apps, social media, digital billboards, audio and smart TV.
