You can negotiate terms of campaigns and finalize details with a buyer right within Ad Manager. Buyers can then accept terms or suggest changes during negotiation. Once both parties have agreed terms, Ad Manager automatically sets up a campaign for delivery. Programmatic Direct also reduces overhead of creative management as buyers host and manage creatives in their system. All impression tracking, billing, and payments are also handled by Ad Manager, which avoids possible discrepancies and lowers overhead in managing reconciliation.

As the entire process occurs in a single system, Programmatic Direct simplifies sales and reduces the potential for human error.
