Postindustria executive and technology suite joined to help AdTech industry players take an in-depth look at header bidding technology, its evolution, the opportunities and limitations it brings in, and the way this technology works. With a comprehensive overview of the header bidding ecosystem, as well as actionable tips for coping with challenges AdTech companies face when working with header bidding, this guide will help you get the most out of today’s AdTech reality.
Facts and figures: 88 out of 100 publishers, selling ads programmatically, experience a revenue boost thanks to header bidding (Digiday).
