We’ve all seen a shift in the digital advertising landscape, and it being an ever changing industry, it’s bound to happen. But during the shift, there are some channels that have stood apart, and Connected TV or better known as CTV is one of them. It stands out as one of the critical channels that effectively reaches engaged audiences with premium viewing content.
Audiences have now started migrating more to the streaming platforms, which has taken CTV to the center stage. CTV offers a dynamic way to reach viewers who are more engaged and receptive to advertising. For publishers, this shift presents an exciting challenge of how to effectively monetize their content.

Enter Private Marketplace (PMP) and Programmatic Guaranteed (PG) deals—two powerful strategies that can transform how CTV publishers manage their ad inventory and maximize their revenue.
These deals offer a win-win scenario: advertisers gain access to premium ad spaces with targeted audience reach, while publishers benefit from higher CPMs and stronger partnerships with advertisers. As we delve deeper into the benefits of PMP and PG deals, we’ll explore how these strategies empower CTV publishers to capitalize on emerging trends and deliver exceptional value to advertisers and audiences alike.
Understanding PMP and PG Deals
- Private Marketplace (PMP) Deals
PMP deals are programmatic transactions where select advertisers get access to premium ad inventory. Think of it, like a private auction where, instead of everyone, only selected advertisers can bid. This exclusivity often leads to higher prices because the ads are shown in a more controlled and prestigious environment. - Programmatic Guaranteed (PG) Deals
PG deals, on the other hand, are direct programmatic transactions where advertisers and publishers agree in advance on a set number of ad views at a fixed price. This arrangement gives advertisers certainty about their reach and costs while ensuring publishers get paid a consistent amount for their ad space.
The Benefits for CTV Publishers
- Increased Revenue Opportunities
By leveraging PMP deals, CTV publishers can offer their premium inventory to a select group of advertisers willing to pay higher prices for guaranteed quality and brand safety. This not only increases revenue but also enhances the perceived value of the publisher’s inventory. - Enhanced Control and Transparency
With PMP and PG deals, publishers have more control over their ad inventory. They can decide which advertisers to partner with, set floor prices, and maintain transparency over where and how their ads are being displayed. This control helps publishers maintain the integrity and quality of their content. - Improved Audience Targeting
Both PMP and PG deals leverage programmatic technology, enabling advertisers to target specific audiences based on data insights. For publishers, this means their inventory is being used more effectively, reaching the right audience at the right time, which can lead to better ad performance and higher engagement rates. - Strengthened Advertiser Relationships
PMP and PG deals foster stronger relationships between publishers and advertisers. By providing advertisers with premium inventory and guaranteed placements, publishers can build trust and encourage repeat business. This is particularly important in the competitive CTV space, where long-term partnerships can drive sustained revenue growth. - Flexibility and Innovation
PMP and PG deals allow publishers to experiment with different ad formats and strategies without compromising their inventory’s quality. This flexibility fosters innovation, enabling publishers to adapt quickly to changing market dynamics and audience preferences.
