What is Ad Tech Software?
Ad Tech is the technology ecosystem that enables data-driven, automated digital advertising across channels, including web, mobile, social, video, audio, and connected TV (CTV). AdTech platforms support the planning, buying, delivery, optimization, and measurement of paid media, allowing organizations to serve relevant, targeted advertisements to defined audiences at scale. AdTech vendors operate across distinct roles within the digital advertising ecosystem. Demand-Side Platforms (DSPs) enable advertisers and agencies to programmatically buy, manage, and optimize advertising campaigns. Supply-Side Platforms (SSPs) help publishers manage, price, and monetize ad inventory across digital properties. Display and Programmatic Market Platforms facilitate the automated buying and selling of ad inventory, often through real-time bidding (RTB) environments.
