It requires a broad knowledge of the technological breakthroughs, as well as the processes that create successful ad campaigns for clients. This, however, requires the ability to handle a great deal of stress, or to control your actions in a manner that thwarts stress. For instance, you may be concerned about how the Google Analytics statistics are shaping up.

Stand around the ad industry’s water cooler long enough and you’re bound to hear the topic of non-human-traffic (NHT) arise. And that shouldn’t come as a surprise! Each month millions of advertising dollars are lost because of some form of this “no-count” traffic. What is NHT? Non-human traffic is a fraudulent practice that exists in the digital ad industry.

In this day and age of evolving marketing technology, there is a great deal of ad inventory, spread over a scattered demographic. Commercials and advertisements of all kinds are broadcasts over a wide spectrum of devices and channels, and with the old traditional advertisements, the message may reach someone who is interested, but it’s usually “by chance.” The advent of Programmatic Buying has afforded brand marketers a way to create a semblance of organization, funneling the messages towards a targeted audience that has, in some fashion, expressed interest or searched for a particular product or service.

During the 2015 airing of the Oscars, Google delivered real-time display ads congratulating the winners ¦ as they won! These ads drove watchers to buy (or rent) the winning movies on Google Play. Their goal was to create extremely relevant real-time marketing that corresponded directly to the on-screen action. The audience at the Oscars was waiting with great anticipation to find out who would win each category, especially “Best Picture” of the year.
