Programmatic Display: Evolving Beyond Cookies

The landscape of programmatic display advertising has undergone significant transformation, largely driven by Google’s fluctuating stance on cookies. However, this period of uncertainty has led to surprisingly positive outcomes. While cookies remain a part of the ecosystem, we’ve also seen the emergence of innovative techniques that are reshaping how we approach digital advertising.

At Harvest Digital, we’ve embraced these changes, continually adapting our strategies to deliver effective programmatic display campaigns across Europe and North America. One of the most exciting developments we’ve incorporated is the concept of buying for attention.

Why Choose Harvest?

Attention-Based Buying: A New Frontier

Attention-based buying represents a shift from traditional impression-based models to a more nuanced approach that prioritises genuine audience engagement. This method allows us to: • Target ad units that are more likely to be seen and engaged with • Drive higher brand lift and sales by focusing on ads that capture and hold attention • Optimise investment towards partners, platforms, and campaigns that generate higher attention metrics Our partnership with attention measurement platforms enables us to leverage eye-tracking data and advanced algorithms to predict and purchase high-attention ad units. This approach not only improves campaign effectiveness but also provides a more accurate measure of an ad’s true value.

Integrating Programmatic with DooH

One area where we’ve seen particularly strong results is in the integration of programmatic display with Digital Out of Home (DooH) advertising. This combination has proven especially powerful for new market entrants looking to make a significant impact.
