Future of Programmatic: Embracing Signal-Based Targeting
Adzine interviewed five AdTech experts about where programmatic targeting is headed in 2026. Contributors from Add2, Seedtag, Adsquare, It Works (Digital Works) and Index Exchange describe a move away from static demographic and interest audiences toward real-time bid-signals, semantic/contextual cues, attention and placement signals. Artificial intelligence is framed as a decision- and translation-layer that scales signal interpretation and optimization while leaving strategic brand decisions to humans. Sell-side decisioning and pre-bid intelligence are expected to grow, and outcome-focused measurement (business results over pure media metrics) will increase demand for high-quality conversion signals. The article also highlights DOOH’s distinct logic—focusing on situations and attention—and stresses privacy, transparency and explainable AI as prerequisites for adoption.

Tuple currently serves eight customers and uses a deliberately narrow SSP integration strategy — initially integrated only with Media.net — aiming to reduce duplicate impressions and increase transparency compared with legacy DSPs. Lauretano, who previously worked at OpenX, Media.net and CivicScience, says Tuple’s approach responds to distrust between buy- and sell-side platforms and the technical trend toward containerized bidding and SSP-embedded algorithms.
