On Monday, the Daily Mail ran an ad in the New York Times NYT touting a new limited time offer, called “programmatic match.” For a limited time, any advertiser that spends north of $150,000 on the site will receive an an equivalent amount of free “programmatic” inventory–for up to $1 million in spending.
The ad reads: “DailyMail.com Programmatic Match (the “Program”) is free programmatic advertising inventory that comes matched dollar for dollar on your next DailyMail.com insertion order placed advertising campaign with DailyMail.com in the United States.”

CMO Today spoke to Daily Mail North America chief executive, Jon Steinberg, on the strategy behind the ad.
