AI in Programmatic Advertising: How It Was Used Long Before ChatGPT

Ah, programmatic advertising. It’s like the wild west of the marketing world, where algorithms roam free and bids are made faster than a cheetah on Red Bull. This futuristic approach to advertising has revolutionized the industry, and believe it or not, artificial intelligence (AI) has been at the heart of it long before ChatGPT stole the limelight.

But first, let’s back up a bit. What exactly is programmatic advertising? Well, imagine a world where you don’t have to manually buy ad space or negotiate with publishers. Instead, you let machines do all the heavy lifting for you. That’s programmatic advertising in a nutshell.

Back In My Day…


In the early days of programmatic advertising, AI was already hard at work behind the scenes. While it may not have been as flashy as today’s sophisticated AI models, it was doing its thing quietly, optimizing campaigns and making marketers’ lives easier.

One of AI’s early roles in programmatic advertising was predictive modeling. It analyzed historical data to identify patterns and make predictions about which ads would perform best in certain contexts. Think of it as AI playing matchmaker between ads and audiences.

But AI didn’t stop there. It also took on the task of real-time bidding (RTB). RTB is like an auction house for ad space; advertisers bid for impressions in real-time. And you know who’s making those lightning-fast bids? That’s right – AI! It crunches data faster than a junk food addict devours chips to determine which impressions are worth bidding on and how much to bid.

Pitter Patter…


Nowadays, AI has come a long way in programmatic advertising. With advancements in machine learning and natural language processing (NLP), we’ve witnessed some mind-blowing developments that would make even Sherlock Holmes raise an eyebrow.

One shining example is contextual targeting powered by AI. It’s like having a personal detective that knows every nook and cranny of the internet. AI analyzes content, keywords, and user behavior to match ads with relevant contexts. So the next time you search for cat videos, don’t be surprised if you see an ad for kitty litter – AI knows what you’re up to!

Another fascinating application of AI in programmatic advertising is dynamic creative optimization (DCO). No, it’s not some fancy superhero team, but it does work wonders for your ads. DCO uses AI to automatically create personalized ad variations based on individual user data. It’s like having an army of Mad Men working 24/7 to tailor ads specifically for each person. Don Draper would be proud.

Of course, we can’t talk about AI in programmatic advertising without mentioning ChatGPT’s big brother – automated bidding algorithms. These bad boys use machine learning to optimize bids based on various factors such as audience targeting, historical data, and campaign objectives. They ensure your ad budget is spent wisely and efficiently, so you can sit back and enjoy a margarita while the robots do their thing.
