Programmatic promises to transform the way we buy media by providing the technology and data to target audiences and run faster, smarter, and more efficient campaigns. But some old habits die hard: many teams continue to replicate old IO-based workflows even in a programmatic environment, forgoing many of the benefits that these new tools offer. No where is this more obvious than in the persistence of “programmatic guaranteed” media, where marketers forgo data in favor of impression-based goals.
Technology transformation has been enabled by Vietnamese’s highly adaptable digital consumers, who are becoming enthusiastic about these technologies. By the end of 2020, the number of internet users in areas outside metros hit 91% and for the first time ever surpassed TV in both penetration and time spend.
In the era where brands are going direct to consumer, and using digital platforms to sell products and services besides building communities, reputation and positioning of brands plays a crucial role in the acceptability among audiences.
