According to eMarketer, programmatic digital display ad spending is expected to reach 672.6 Million Euros in France by the end of 2017 . As programmatic advertising continues to expand along with the adoption of header bidding, Index will partner with participants across the programmatic landscape to offer more choice, trust and a transparent view of current market conditions.
