Who runs the purchase
You book it yourself, ask for a quote, or work with the sales team or a marketplace.
How it transacts
A direct buy, a programmatic deal at an agreed price, or an auction.
What you pay for
A fixed price, or a rate per thousand impressions, per click or per action.
A self-serve spot can still be an auction, and a programmatic deal can have a fixed price. We record each fact separately, so you see exactly what you are buying.
