Private Marketplace

Also: PMP; Private auction

An invitation-only programmatic auction in which a publisher offers specific inventory to selected buyers, usually with a negotiated Floor Price. The buyer still bids and is not guaranteed delivery, but competes against fewer bidders on better-defined inventory. Access is granted through a Deal ID entered in the buyer's DSP.
