The hurdles of programmatic advertising for SMEs

Programmatic advertising is also an interesting option for SMEs to place online advertising exactly where the target group is located using targeted targeting and real-time bidding within a fixed budget.

And this is data-driven, automated and on countless advertising platforms at the same time - not just Google and Facebook.

However, the implementation of programmatic advertising poses challenges for many SMEs:

  • Many DSPs only accept agencies or companies with minimum sales on the platform.

  • The configuration of campaigns is prone to errors - there is often a lack of experience and expertise to launch efficient campaigns.

  • Consent management is a headache for many companies - but data protection compliance is essential, especially in Europe.

Without access to a programmatic advertising platform, companies are often limited to isolated advertising ecosystems or use outdated booking models that can lead to wastage due to a lack of targeting.

In practice, SMEs do not utilise so many relevant advertising placements.

Programmatic advertising is a must, especially for SMEs, in order to secure their own competitive advantage. The right programmatic advertising agency at your side will understand complex technologies and help you achieve greater reach.

Why is programmatic advertising indispensable in the marketing mix?

In modern online marketing, it is no longer just about where adverts are placed, but above all about who sees them. With programmatic advertising, companies can precisely define their ideal target groups and address them in a targeted manner.

Data, algorithms, real-time bidding and access to a large, cross-platform advertising inventory make it possible to display adverts to specific target groups in fractions of a second - regardless of whether the potential customer is currently on a niche website, in a game app or on an audio streaming platform.

In simple terms, this is how programmatic advertising works technically:

  1. The advertiser or agency defines the target group, for example based on demographic, geographical or contextual characteristics, and creates the appropriate advertising material.
  2. A demand-side platform (DSP) is used to bid in real time for advertising space offered by publishers via ad exchanges.
  3. If the user matches the defined target group and the context and time are right, the advert wins the real-time auction (real-time bidding) and is displayed to the user.

Frequently asked questions about programmatic advertising

Who benefits from programmatic advertising?

Programmatic advertising is worthwhile for companies with clearly defined target groups and measurable goals that want to use their advertising budget efficiently. It is particularly suitable for SMEs, B2B companies, and e-commerce brands, provided that tracking, strategy, and budget are set up appropriately.

How much does programmatic advertising cost?

The costs for programmatic advertising with an agency consist of two components:

Media spend – the budget for placing the ads. Even smaller budgets can be used efficiently. However, we recommend a monthly media spend of at least £2,000. A higher budget (> £5,000/month) is advisable in order to achieve a good ratio between media spend and agency costs.

Agency costs – our support costs for one-time setup, campaign development and ongoing optimisation. The support costs are based on the individual effort required for campaign creation and support.

What makes programmatic advertising so efficient?

Programmatic advertising is so efficient because it is data-driven and automated:

  • Targeted approach: Ads are only shown to relevant target groups (e.g., based on interests, behavior, location, or demographics).
  • Real-time optimization: Campaigns are continuously analyzed and adjusted to minimize wastage.
  • Automation: The platform buys advertising space in real time, eliminating manual processes and ensuring efficient use of the budget.
  • Measurable performance: Interactions can be tracked and evaluated so that the budget is used where it has the greatest effect.
How does Google Ads fit into programmatic advertising?

Google Ads is a complementary advertising system that is also data-driven and automated. We integrate Google Ads into the overall programmatic advertising strategy.
