12、 infrastructure that underlay much of digital ad buying was designed for display, the format that drove the first wave of digital ad spend. Audio was not then a consideration and consequently missed out on this tech wave. This has meant that audio streaming platforms have had to invest more in propr
13、ietary ad tech, which has taken longer. Another area which has lagged behind is audio ad formats, where innovation has been slow and better ad formats are needed to capitalise on high user engagement and strengthen the position of audio as a complement to other media. There has also been an issue ar
14、ound supply of inventory which should improve as digital audio consumption increases. The high user engagement of audio lends itself to branding campaigns yet the metrics to prove reach and effectiveness have also needed to catch up.

With audience consumption behaviour shiftin
42、g, those marketers who are forward-thinking in how they plan their audio spend, will surely deliver against their marketing outcome. And whilst we see positive attitude across Europe to embrace programmatic audio and its capabilities, there are still barriers and challenges which means there is a lo
43、t of work to be done in educating and informing those in charge of spend. Publisher/Media Owners expressed that they want to enhance their offer, improve user experience and increase ad revenue. When aligned against the buy-side view point, we see that there is clear potential in programmatic audio
