Georgia‑Pacific Builds In‑House Programmatic Team

Georgia‑Pacific spent nearly four years building an in‑house programmatic media operation to gain transparency and control over digital spend. Javier Bustillos, who runs national media and marketing analytics for Georgia‑Pacific brands, led a phased rollout that began with a single brand and channel as a test. The company consolidated programmatic spend with a small group of partners (using Yahoo as its primary DSP and supplementing with Google DV360, The Trade Desk and Amazon), requires log‑level data and contracts regular media audits. OMD remains media agency of record for holistic strategy and TV, while the in‑house team focuses on programmatic buying, search, social, MMM, A/B testing and sales‑lift analysis. CTV buying remains a work in progress, so a hybrid in‑house/agency model persists.

• Javier Bustillos runs national media and marketing analytics for Georgia‑Pacific brands.
• Georgia‑Pacific consolidated programmatic spend and uses Yahoo as its primary DSP for national buys, with Google’s DV360, The Trade Desk and Amazon in the mix.
