New York, NY – The Radio Advertising Bureau (RAB) announced “A White Paper on Programmatic for The Radio Industry”, released in conjunction with the General Session presented at the 2015 Radio Show entitled “Unlocking Programmatic’s Potential”, which took place Wednesday, September 30th, in Atlanta.
In keeping with the organization’s mission to focus on enhancing radio’s perception in the advertising marketplace and providing tools and resources to elevate radio’s sellers for continued growth, the RAB pro-actively commissioned the white paper which is designed to educate all constituents on the programmatic landscape, its opportunities, challenges and implications.
“Programmatic radio is at a tipping point and is quickly beginning to impact our industry,” said Erica Farber, President and CEO, RAB. “We felt it important to provide an overview on today’s landscape and include as much information as possible to our members,” noted Farber. “We wanted to help guide their decision of how to plan for and when to incorporate programmatic as part of their company’s business strategy.”
The white paper identifies a number of emerging trends that are coming to broadcast radio and will help shape the future of transacting with radio including:
- Radio is well positioned to grow in ways it has not traditionally, but will require the Radio business to continue to evolve.
- Programmatic capabilities are key to enabling broadcast radio to grow its share of the overall media pie.
- Programmatic in the broadcast radio industry is happening on two fronts: the automation of the buying process and the marketplace implications of buying inventory.
- Sellers and buyers are learning equally across broadcast radio with a fast-developing ad tech ecosystem.
