A Private Marketplace (PMP) deal refers to a type of programmatic advertising arrangement that allows advertisers to purchase ad inventory through a private, invitation-only auction. Unlike open exchanges where inventory is available to all bidders, PMP deals provide more control, premium inventory, and often better targeting options for advertisers.

How a PMP Deal Works

In open exchanges, advertisers have the freedom to bid on inventory. In contrast, a private marketplace necessitates a deal ID for bidding.

A deal ID is a system-generated string (e.g., 0123456789012345678) assigned to an inventory package. Using this deal ID, advertisers can buy inventory packages from demand-side platforms.

Demand-side platforms allow advertisers to bid on premium inventory and make the process of purchasing ad space more structured.
