The Shift in Demand-Side Platforms

The podcast highlights the evolution of demand-side platforms (DSPs) in the advertising industry, emphasizing the barriers such as large contracts and minimum spending that often deter smaller agencies. A new solution is presented through Adlib, a self-serve DSP that offers a more accessible platform without these traditional constraints. This allows growing agencies to connect with global DSPs seamlessly and manage diverse advertising channels like TV and digital display. The streamlined approach reduces time spent on manual tasks, enabling teams to leverage media buying more effectively.
