Marketers in Kansas City, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Seattle and More Gain Insight
from Digital Media Experts on Mobile, Video and Other Aspects of Programmatic Advertising
New York – June 30, 2015 – Centro (centro.net), a provider of enterprise-class software for digital advertising, today announced highlights from a series of programmatic advertising forums hosted in eight U.S. cities. More than 250 advertising professionals from agencies, brands and publishers attended Centro’s Tips, Trends and Techniques (3T) events in June to discuss the areas transforming digital media. Experts presented on mobile, digital video, programmatic TV, hyperlocal targeting, cross-device marketing, ad viewability standards, and ad fraud & bot traffic prevention. Centro’s 3T Programmatic Roadshow was held in Boston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Nashville, Oklahoma City, Philadelphia Seattle and St. Louis to give marketers knowledge to bring programmatic advertising capabilities in-house. Educational resources on the topics discussed are available here: www2.centro.net/3t-programmatic-resource-center.
Programmatic advertising is a major challenge for agencies and brands – and many find it difficult to develop relationships with larger-scale ad-buying technology providers due to requirements such as minimum spend, set-up fees and excessive campaign support costs. To be self-sufficient, agencies and brands need to grow in-house expertise. To support marketers’ transformation and help them expand proficiency in programmatic advertising, Centro will resume the 3T Roadshow in this September. Marketing and media professionals who want Centro to host an event in their city or region can send a request to: events@centro.net.
“Centro has an extended history working with regional, independent agencies and brands and we want to bring our best practices and know-how to them on a local and personal level,” said Leah Holzman, VP of marketing at Centro. “The interest in programmatic advertising goes far beyond the organizations in the typical major media markets. Centro’s scale, reach and resources enable us to deliver high-quality, customized educational events for agencies and brands in almost any market in the U.S.”
