New Report From NinthDecimal Reveals Mobile Programmatic Ad Buys Quadrupled in 2015

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Mar 31, 2016) - NinthDecimal, the leading omni-channel audience and measurement company, today announced the results of its latest report on mobile programmatic advertising, which reveals that the ad buys grew 430 percent over the course of the last year. Programmatic ad buying is transforming the marketing ecosystem as it expands into mobile marketing campaigns. In fact, mobile budgets for programmatic grew exponentially over the last year. This trend is more than a shift in resources from traditional digital ad buys -- what's really exciting is how brands are putting their first-party consumer data on programmatic platforms to enable highly sophisticated targeting and measurement.

The 2015 Mobile Programmatic Year In Review report also uncovered the biggest shift in mobile programmatic buying from 2014 to 2015 came from consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands, which moved from the fourth-largest purchasing group to the number one spot. Even so, 2014's biggest buyers -- automotive and retail brands -- continued to increase spending and take larger pieces of the overall mobile programmatic pie. Following demographic targeting, the most popular audience segments were shoppers (17 percent of total buys), with Luxury Shoppers more specifically leading that segment at 49 percent, followed by Department Store shoppers at 29 percent.
