  2. Can you please let me… What is exactly Programmatic Ad Operation what difference between in Ad Operation & Programmatic , please let me know?

    1. Hi Rajesh,

      The ad operation job is same in every division, the only difference comes in the platform you will be working on. Programmatic ad operation is about trafficking the campaigns in multiple DSPs where the optimization, bidding step is self-managed. To work in programmatic you need to be well aware of different DSP’s like DBM, mediamath, turn, etc. whereas in normal ad operation team all you need to be aware of ad server platforms like DCM, Sizmek, DFP for publisher side.
