As explained in our last blog post, the process of buying ad spaces in the early days of digital advertising was a cumbersome and largely ineffective one. Two of the biggest challenges with the previous manual means of buying ads were the limitation in targeting capabilities and a lack of real-time optimization. In other words, a lack of innovation in the way digital ads were bought and sold.
However, as the digital advertising landscape evolved, so did the expectations of advertisers. They now seek innovative ways of seamlessly connecting with their target audiences, and being able to optimize their campaigns as they go along. And for this, the Demand-Side Platforms (DSPs) — a game-changer in the digital advertising landscape that empowers advertisers to strategically navigate the dynamic world of digital advertising — was born.
Understanding the Essence of DSPs
Demand Side Platforms serve as the bridge between advertisers and publishers in the digital advertising ecosystem. They enable advertisers to automate the process of buying digital ad space, optimizing their campaigns in real-time for maximum impact. It can be said that DSPs are to advertisers what SSPs are to publishers.

Benefits for Advertisers
Access to Premium Inventory: DSPs offer advertisers access to a vast inventory of premium audio content. From high-quality podcasts to engaging radio live streams, advertisers can choose placements that align seamlessly with their brand narrative.
Advanced Targeting Capabilities: DSPs empower advertisers with advanced targeting options, allowing them to define and refine their target audience with granular precision. This level of targeting ensures that ads are delivered to the most relevant audience, enhancing engagement and conversion rates.
Adjustments for Maximum Impact: Advertisers can make on-the-fly adjustments to their campaigns based on real-time insights. This includes tweaking targeting parameters, adjusting bid amounts, or even pausing underperforming elements of a campaign. These adjustments are made with the goal of optimizing campaign performance, improving click-through rates, and ultimately achieving the advertiser’s objectives.
The Atunwa Advantage
Atunwa Digital offers advertisers unique advantages to achieve their marketing goals. Some of these advantages are access to premium content publishers and transparency. Most media agencies, advertising networks and exchanges operating within African markets do not have ways to effectively offer premium publishers the ability to realize the full value of their unique content accessed by millions of people locally and globally. That’s where we come in.
