NEW YORK, NY–(Marketwired – Nov 5, 2013) – The explosive growth and widespread adoption of the programmatic approach to media buying by both advertisers and publishers is indicative of a transformative shift in the ad technology industry. In fact, 85% of advertising panelists currently participate in programmatic, a figure that is expected to grow to 91% within the next two years, according to research outlined in the new white paper from the Winterberry Group and MediaMath.

"Programmatic Everywhere? Data, Technology and the Future of Audience Engagement," developed from the insights of more than 260 executive-level marketers, publishers and technology developers, provides a snapshot of how major media players are applying programmatic strategies today. What was once defined almost exclusively as 'automated media-buying,' programmatic is proving to have much more potential, influencing a wider range strategies and engagement tactics including audience segmentation, targeting, insight development and content optimization.
