DSPs first emerged in the late 2000s when real-time bidding (RTB) began to take off, with MediaMath and Rocket Fuel being among the first DSPs on the market. Nowadays, there are hundreds of DSPs available, providing advertisers and agencies with access to all types of inventories across different channels.  DSPs are platforms that allow advertisers and agencies to buy ad inventory programmatically. They connect to various supply-side platforms (SSPs) and ad exchanges, providing access to a wide range of inventory, including display, native, video, and in-app mobile ads. Advertisers and agencies can then use a DSP to purchase this inventory in real-time through an auction process, which enables them to reach their target audience more effectively and efficiently.  One of the key advantages of using a DSP is the ability to target specific audiences.

Publishers can contact the Ad Exchanges directly, but the high traffic and revenue requirements make it difficult for small and mid-sized publishers to participate.
