For companies looking to integrate programmatic advertising into their marketing strategies, building their own platform might seem like an obvious step. Owning your own infrastructure allows complete control over every process — from inventory purchasing to campaign optimization.
However, developing such a platform requires substantial financial investments and resources. You need to hire skilled technical specialists, maintain the infrastructure, and regularly update and optimize the system to keep up with changing market demands.
These factors make building a programmatic platform a complicated and costly endeavor that not every company can afford. High costs and a lack of technical expertise become significant barriers for many companies trying to enter the programmatic advertising market.
