So is Latin America ready for Real-Time Bidding (RTB) and programmatic buying?<\/em><\/p>\n Clara Alvarado of Cisco<\/strong> said that on the one hand “there are some big infrastructure problems,” but on the other “major companies are also making big investments in order to work with RTB in Latin America.” She added that “today there are some media agencies which are really prepared for programmatic buying, and others that aren\u2019t.”<\/p>\n [comillas]Today the challenge is to create content in real time<\/em>[\/comillas]<\/p>\n According to Alejandro Campos Carles<\/strong>\u00a0of StartMeApp, “Latin America still faces many challenges, but it is experiencing great growth and there are many advertisers these days who need to reach audiences and not media.”<\/p>\n [comillas]Two years ago, nobody in Latin America was thinking about advertising on mobiles; now everyone wants to have a mobile presence<\/em>[\/comillas]<\/p>\n Diego Fernandez of Startcom asked: Is RTB a trend, or is it the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n “Data is everything, and will still be everything 20 years from now,” answered Campos Carles.
