Smart Supply × OpenX

Driving 74% Higher CTR in Programmatic Video at Maximized Scale

How Smart Supply partnered with OpenX to help a leading technology brand achieve maximum scale and set a new programmatic efficiency benchmark.

Overview

A major technology client was mandated to maximize reach and clicks (CTR) across a short video campaign while securing highly efficient Cost Per Click (CPC). Achieving this extreme performance at massive scale within a trusted exchange was the core challenge.

Smart Supply immediately activated its AI-powered intelligence layer, creating specialized Deal IDs with OpenX. The strategy used real-time decisioning and pre-bid supply-side filtering to continuously prioritize high-engagement, premium mobile video placements for optimal intent.

This outcomes-based approach resulted in superior reach, industry-leading engagement, and unparalleled cost efficiency for the client.

The solution

Programmatic performance now relies on intelligence applied directly at the source of supply. To deliver consistent, measurable results, you need partners who can execute pre-bid logic.

Apply performance logic pre-DSP to ensure higher-quality impressions are prioritized.

Use real-time supply signals to guide targeting based on actual outcomes.

Achieve superior scale and engagement without sacrificing cost efficiency.
