Background of the study
Programmatic advertising has transformed digital marketing by automating the ad buying process and enabling data-driven decisions that optimize marketing ROI. In Kaduna, Nigeria, digital media firms are increasingly employing programmatic techniques to purchase ad inventory in real time, ensuring ads are delivered to the right audience at the right time. This automated process uses algorithms and advanced analytics to target specific demographics and user behaviors, leading to enhanced campaign precision and cost efficiency (Umeh, 2023). Programmatic advertising offers significant advantages over traditional ad buying, such as reduced manual labor, improved ad placement accuracy, and dynamic optimization of campaigns based on live performance data. However, despite these benefits, challenges persist including issues of ad fraud, lack of transparency, and integration complexities with existing marketing systems (Adeleke, 2024). Firms must continuously adapt to evolving market conditions and technological advancements to maximize ROI. This study critically analyzes programmatic advertising’s role in optimizing marketing ROI for a digital media firm, exploring both its strategic advantages and the operational hurdles that must be overcome to achieve superior performance (Chinonso, 2025).
Statement of the problem
Digital media firms in Kaduna encounter challenges in fully harnessing programmatic advertising to optimize marketing ROI. Despite the potential for precision targeting and cost reduction, issues such as ad fraud, data integration difficulties, and transparency concerns hinder effective campaign execution. These challenges create a gap between theoretical ROI benefits and actual campaign outcomes, resulting in lower-than-expected returns on advertising spend (Umeh, 2023).
