    Programmatic advertising has made it easier than ever to get the right message to the right consumer at the right time on the right device. There's an abundance of data to work with, and that data, activated by technology, takes most of the guesswork out of targeting. When an advertiser identifies a consumer that demonstrates a number of specific behaviors, then they can serve ads to these people live and in real time. The benefit to programmatic is that now advertisers can have campaigns that are always on-call. We have taken the path to efficiency to a new level and we are not done yet. This amount of accuracy presents a new challenge and responsibility. Now that we're able to serve relevant communications, the pressure is on to message with finesse. All the right levers have been pulled automatically to hit the target, now the onus is on the creative to deliver the goods.
