Direct Buy (Flat Deal)

A Direct Buy (or Flat Deal) is a non-auction agreement between an advertiser and a publisher to purchase specific ad inventory at a fixed price. This traditional approach guarantees placement, volume, and pricing, offering greater predictability than RTB.

For example, a brand might negotiate a three-month homepage banner placement for €10 000, ensuring exclusive visibility on a high-traffic site. Direct buys are often used for premium campaigns requiring brand safety and full creative control.

While less flexible than programmatic buying, direct deals remain valuable for building brand equity and securing high-impact inventory.
