AI Agents Increasingly Handle Ad Dollars
The article discusses the growing but still experimental use of AI agents in advertising. Companies like Apostra, The Trade Desk, PubMatic, Magnite, and Kargo are developing agentic systems for media buying. Apostra has handled about $1.2 million in ad buys over three months, and Rouge Care reported a fivefold ROAS on CTV ads via PubMatic's AgenticOS. However, highly autonomous deployments represent less than 5% of marketing use cases in 2025. Protocols like AdCP, AAMP, and Amazon's MCP are emerging, but fragmentation risks interoperability. Responsibility for agent decisions remains unclear, and premium advertising remains relationship-driven.
