In 2022, programmatic advertising continued to have a significant impact on publishers, offering them a more efficient and automated way to sell ad inventory.
As we turn the page on another year, the programmatic advertising industry continues to evolve and mature at a rapid pace. With new technologies emerging and old ones becoming more refined, it's good to be aware of what media trends are expected to dominate the market so you have the best strategies.
Looking ahead to 2023, it's clear that certain trends will shape the future of programmatic advertising, offering both opportunities and challenges for those in the industry. In this blog post, we'll explore some of Prebid's key trends and product development to help you prepare for what's coming.
