So what is Programmatic advertising??

Programmatic advertising is the use of technology to buy digital ads at distressed pricing.?It uses algorithms to execute the buying trends through a public platform and delivers the most effective ads to audiences based on a variety of signals, ie: shopping patterns or searches.
