The paper is rich in details of one of the newest trends: programmatic buying through an advertising exchange. For the uninitiated, programmatic buying means, basically, the buying and selling of ads automatically, through machines that talk to each other based on instructions humans have given them.
Forward-thinking stuff, and even a bit astonishing, at times.
