Brands in Control: Is the Time Right? [+]
Programmatic has become the new normal for publishers and agencies, but what about for brands? As brands move their dollars to programmatic channels, the question is what is the best model? Is the time right for brands to consider a DIY approach and if so, how best to go about it? How is data really factoring in, and how are approaches different in dealing with data? How does an agency's approach to programmatic differ from that of a managed service DSP or a programmatic platform? Is the rise of programmatic direct changing the agency model?
In this session we put the brand in control. Join us as Joe Bihlmier, VP of Global Media, American Express, asks the questions and our panel answers from all sides.
