What is a header bidding solution?
Header bidding (aka pre-bidding, advance bidding, and holistic yield management) is a media-buying process that enables publishers to simultaneously collect bids from a number of demand sources (e.g. DSPs) before their ad server loads other tags, such as direct deals.
When it comes to implementing header bidding, there are two options: client-side header bidding (CSHB) and server-side header bidding (SSHB).
Client-side header bidding collects bids directly from the web browser (i.e. the client), whereas server-side header bidding collects bids from a server.
Who can benefit from a header bidding solution?
AdTech Companies
Add header bidding functionality and tools to your existing AdTech platforms and expand your client offering.
Publishers
Better manage your header bidding setup by building adapters, user interfaces, analytics tools, and wrappers.
Why build a header bidding solution when you can rent one?
Building a custom header bidding solution instead of using an existing solution provides the following advantages.
Ownership of the tech and intellectual property (IP)
Owning the technology and IP is crucial for tech companies but can also benefit other companies.
Control over the features and product roadmap
Being able to shape the header bidding solution’s roadmap is key to being able to meet your business goals.
Reduction of fees and commissions
For companies with large media spend can reduce the commissions and fees paid to third-party header bidding solutions.
