What Our Readers Are Saying

A useful text about header bidding and the programmatic ecosystem of online advertising in general from a publisher's perspective. This is the missing title on the market. Contains a broader perspective on programmatic advertising that is useful for everyone from newcomers to publishers to aspiring freelancers.

You can spend days and weeks scouring blogs about programmatic advertising around the web, or you can read David's book in a few hours. I recommend the latter. Detailed, clear, readable, informative.

David has written a unique book on RTB header bidding. It is very readable and clearly structured. It will help anyone who's looking for a specific case study or wants to get up to speed quickly on RTB HB. It should be in the library of every company that wants to effectively monetize their online space.

A very good overview of header bidding while at the same time functioning as a user guide. The myriad of additional content makes it an excellent tool for beginners, but also for advanced programmatic media specialists. I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to effectively optimize advertising revenue.

About Author

author

David Bauckmann


I have been working in online advertising for over 20 years, the last 10 years as a programmatic advertising specialist. Prior to that, I worked in SEO and originally in website coding. I have a degree in Geographic Information Systems.

I try to see challenges with an open mind, looking for overlap and context to find the optimal solution. "Nothing stands alone, everything is part of the whole."

Throughout my career I have tried to educate myself, and the faster technology evolves, the more I miss comprehensive textbooks. So I decided to help out and create some materials that I hope will help other people in the industry.
