Programmatic Advertising in Durham
Buying display and video inventory across the open web for Durham advertisers. Programmatic gives reach beyond the walled platforms and carries a persistent problem with it: a meaningful share of open-web inventory is low quality, and without controls a campaign quietly funds sites nobody would choose.
Why this comes up
The problem
Reach beyond Google and Meta is wanted, and the proposals received involve several intermediaries whose fees and inventory sources are unclear.
What you get
What we deliver
- The fee chain established, since several parties take a share between you and the publisher
- Inclusion lists rather than exclusion lists, so you choose where you appear
- Brand safety and fraud controls applied, not assumed to be handled
- Viewability standards set, because an unseen impression has no value
- Frequency capping, since the same person seeing an ad thirty times annoys rather than persuades
- Measurement beyond clicks, because display clicks correlate poorly with interest
Want this scoped for your business in Durham?
Thirty minutes, no charge, no sales script. You leave with a written summary of what programmatic advertising would actually involve — whether or not you use us.
Working in Durham
North East
Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.
Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones.

Programmatic Advertising in Durham — common questions
- How much of our budget reaches publishers?
- Less than most advertisers assume — each intermediary takes a share, and industry studies have repeatedly found a substantial gap between spend and what publishers receive. Asking for the fee chain in writing is a reasonable and revealing request.
- Inclusion or exclusion lists?
- Inclusion, wherever practical. Blocking bad sites is endless because new ones appear constantly; choosing a defined set of quality publishers costs reach and buys certainty about where your brand appears. For most advertisers that trade is worth making.
- Is display advertising fraud still a problem?
- Yes, though verification tools have improved. Fraudulent and non-viewable inventory persists on the open exchanges, which is why verification and viewability standards belong in the setup rather than being reviewed after a quarter of spend.
- How should we judge success?
- Not on click-through rate. Display clicks are dominated by accidental taps and correlate poorly with intent. Brand lift studies or holdout testing give a more honest read, and if the budget cannot support either, the budget may not support programmatic.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
