Independent media agencies leverage agility and a start-up mindset to adopt emerging tools and technologies rapidly, enabling quick responses to market shifts. Curation emerges as the major market shift amid the phase-out of third-party cookies and falling open web addressability below 20% per the IAB. Curation platforms provide buyers direct access to inventory at the supply source for programmatic deal creation and activation, optimizing across data signals to achieve greater scale for high-value impressions and stronger campaign outcomes. Curation grants independents pre-vetted, high-quality inventory without direct publisher relationships or large spend commitments. Leading services like Onetag Smart Curation offer immediate access with zero tech fee.
