Programmatic Guaranteed

Also: PG; Automated guaranteed

A reserved buy executed through programmatic pipes: fixed CPM, fixed impression volume, one buyer, one seller, with the DSP and ad server handling delivery and billing instead of a manual Insertion Order. PG combines the certainty of a direct buy with programmatic frequency management and data targeting, at the cost of a technology fee on both sides.
