About Digital Advertising
What is a DSP?
A demand-side platform (DSP) is software that allows advertisers to buy advertising from a network of publishers with the help of automation. This powerful tool automates decision-making processes and bids for ads in real-time, making the entire process significantly more efficient than traditional ad bidding. Visit our blog on DSP to learn more.
What’s programmatic advertising?
Programmatic advertising is the use of automated technology for media buying. It utilizes data to serve ads and comes in various mediums, including Display (banner, static images), Video, and Native (in-article advertising designed to look cohesive with the piece).

Are digital ads expensive?
We work with your budget. With DSPolitical you can start running programmatic advertising with us for as little as $500.
What’s the difference between social media advertising and programmatic advertising?
Social media advertising lets you reach highly customizable sets of audiences with your custom lists or attributes. However, with lots of advertisers competing over limited inventory and targeting restrictions, it can be difficult to reach audiences more than a few times a week.
On the other hand, programmatic advertising allows you to be highly specific in your audience building. For example, you can choose only to target registered voters, those that lean Democrat, or those that are likely to vote. This form of advertising also allows you to place your ads in high-quality inventory positions across the internet.
