A Strategic Move Into the Future of Omnichannel Marketing
Clarity Digital Agency has officially entered the programmatic advertising space through a partnership with Illumin, previously known as AcuityAds. This expansion represents a significant step in the agency’s mission to become one of the top programmatic advertising firms and to drive the shift toward AI-driven, omnichannel marketing strategies.
Clarity Digital is recognized as an AI-ready enterprise SEO and paid media agency based in Irvine, California. It assists businesses nationwide with SEO, SEM, paid social media campaigns, analytics services, and integrated digital strategies. The decision to incorporate programmatic advertising reflects the agency’s commitment to staying ahead of changing marketing technology and helping clients achieve omnichannel marketing and AI readiness.
“In the past, we’ve run some programmatic campaigns for clients, but it was never our primary focus and we didn’t have a dedicated platform preference,” said Al Sefati, CEO and Founder of Clarity Digital. “With Illumin, that changes. We can now offer clients true omnichannel reach and AI-powered precision on a best-in-class platform, helping them scale in ways traditional paid media can’t match.”
What Is Programmatic Advertising?
Programmatic advertising is the automated buying and selling of digital ad space using AI and real-time bidding technology. Instead of negotiating placements by hand, programmatic platforms use algorithms and audience data to show ads to the right user, at the right time, across various channels like display, video, connected TV, and social media. This method allows for highly targeted campaigns, improved efficiency, and better return on investment compared to traditional media buying.

This method allows for highly targeted campaigns, improved efficiency, and better return on investment compared to traditional media buying.
Why Programmatic Advertising, and Why Now?
The digital advertising landscape is changing significantly. Consumers no longer follow a straight path to make a purchase. They connect with brands on various platforms, devices, and formats. This creates complex customer journeys that need smarter, more integrated campaigns.
While traditional paid search and social media ads are effective, they work in isolation. Programmatic advertising bridges the gap. It lets brands reach audiences across display, video, connected TV (CTV), mobile, and social platforms through one automated system.
By using Illumin’s programmatic platform, Clarity Digital can now offer:
- AI-powered audience insights to target and personalize campaigns in real time.
- Omnichannel campaign orchestration for smooth messaging at every customer touchpoint.
- Dynamic ad delivery that adapts based on user behavior, intent, and context.
- Detailed analytics that provide clear visibility into customer paths and conversion points.
- Real-time optimization to increase ROI and reduce wasted ad spend.
This is more than just another ad channel. It’s a significant shift in how marketing operates in an AI-driven world.
Positioning Clarity Digital Among the Top Programmatic Advertising Agencies
With this move, Clarity Digital aims to become one of the top programmatic advertising agencies by combining programmatic advertising with its existing skills in SEO, SEM, paid media, and digital strategy.
Unlike many agencies that treat programmatic as a separate service, Clarity Digital takes a strategic and comprehensive approach. Programmatic campaigns are designed to work closely with organic search, paid search, and digital PR efforts to drive full-funnel growth.
“We’re not trying to serve everyone. We’re creating a focused, AI-driven programmatic solution that fits with our clients’ existing marketing setup,” Sefati added. “That’s what will distinguish us and help us become one of the best programmatic advertising agencies to work with.”
