Cutting through the crap… Three key questions for working out what “type” of programmatic transaction you are dealing with… 1. Is the inventory reserved or unreserved?
2. Is the price set fixed or set by auction?
3. Can anyone buy or is it by invite only?

1 Programmatic = automation with data
2 Programmatic > RTB ● Automated guaranteed ● Unreserved fixed rate ● Invitation-only auction ● Open auction
3 Ask 3 questions to cut through the crap - what type of inventory, how price is set and who can buy?
