WHY PROGRAMMATIC, WHY NOW

Your audience has moved beyond search and social

Google targets keywords. Meta targets interests and lookalikes. Neither can reliably find a hospital doctor, a council training manager or an architect who specifies products. Programmatic can. It buys audiences directly using job title, location, first-party lists and behaviour, across websites, streaming TV and audio. It also reaches people in moments search and social miss: a podcast on the commute, streaming radio at work, TV at night.

55%

of Australians aged 10+ listen to podcasts each month

1 in 3

Australians aged 25 to 54 stream radio each week

One audience plan across every programmatic channel

Google and Meta can't reliably find a hospital doctor, a council training manager or an architect who specifies products. Programmatic can. It buys audiences directly using job title, location, first-party lists and behaviour.

Display, native, connected TV, streaming audio, podcasts and geofencing, all reported so you can see where your ads ran and what they brought in.

Let's talk
HOW IT WORKS

How we run programmatic campaigns

  1. 01

    Start with the audience

    We define who you need to reach by job title, industry, location, life stage or behaviour, then build the channel mix around those people rather than around a platform.

  2. 02

    Start small, then scale

    New to programmatic? We usually begin by retargeting your website visitors or one tightly defined audience, prove it works, then add new audiences and channels.

  3. 03

    Report placements and outcomes

    You see where your ads ran, who they reached and what happened next: site visits, enquiries, sales and store visits. Placement rules and brand safety settings keep your ads off sites you don't want.

THE WORK

Creative + Media in one team.

The team optimising your ads also makes them. So when results dip, the next ad is already in production. No outside studio, no briefing cycle, no wasted weeks.

FAQ

Programmatic advertising agency questions

What is programmatic advertising?

It is the automated buying of ad space across thousands of websites, apps, streaming TV services and audio platforms. Instead of buying from one publisher at a time, you buy the audience you want, wherever they are.

Can we control where our ads appear?

Yes. We set placement rules by site category, app, content type and brand safety level, and block any sites you don't want. Reports show where your ads actually ran.

How does programmatic radio, podcast and CTV advertising work?

You buy audience segments across streaming audio, podcasts and connected TV apps rather than fixed time slots. You pay to reach the people you want in the areas you want, not everyone who is tuned in.

Could we run programmatic in-house?

It is possible, but the buying platforms are built for teams with data partnerships and daily hands-on use. Most brands get better value from an agency working alongside their in-house marketers.

How is programmatic advertising priced?

Usually as a percentage of media spend or a flat monthly fee, depending on your budget and how many channels you run. Our price list sets it out, and you see exactly what goes to media.

Is programmatic worth it for a smaller business?

It is when your audience is hard to isolate on Google and Meta, or your category is restricted there. If not, Google or Meta is usually the better place to start, and we will tell you so.

A note from our founders
April and Brendan Ford, co-founders
April & Brendan FordCo-founders

Marketing should act like part of your commercial engine. Not a cost centre.

We started Sneaky because we were tired of watching great brands miss their potential. Campaigns that didn't convert. Data nobody tracked. Junior advice, and service that left people chasing.

So we built the agency we would want to hire. A senior team on every account, no hand-offs, and every decision measured against profit, not platforms. We'll speak your language.
