Constructing your Quality Path

Programmatic advertising is rapidly growing in adoption among marketers, but the purchasing experience is getting more complicated. Industry experts recognize that it’s critical to implement supply path optimization (SPO) into their programmatic strategy to ease the complexity — but recent IAS research found that media quality threats and lack of transparency are still a problem in programmatic buying.

So how can marketers optimize their supply path strategies for both cost efficiency and higher media quality?

In our latest research, we highlight the impact of Quality Path Optimization (QPO) — an advanced media strategy that identifies the most effective supply paths with both quality inventory and cost efficiency at the forefront.

Here’s a snapshot of what we discovered:
