Why there is a need for Ad tech companies?
Online or digital ads function on the same principles i.e. 1. To drive sales and/or enable awareness of the product or service. 2. Publish the ad on the right platform at a nominal price to reach the target audience.
But because of the numerous avenues of publisher platforms such as (gaming, social media, videos, etc) the complexity of advertising online increases.
