Spotsnow uses a request-based workflow that makes it easier to discover advertising inventory and move forward without committing too early.
Buyers can explore available spots, request placements they’re interested in, and wait for publisher approval before anything is booked or paid for.
This approach keeps workflows flexible for buyers while allowing publishers to stay in control.
Publishers and networks list available advertising spots on Spotsnow.
These listings often include last-minute or flexible inventory, but may also include short-window opportunities. Each listing typically shows:
ad format (e.g. host-read, placement type)
timing and deadlines
pricing or CPM
basic audience and show details
This gives buyers enough information to evaluate fit quickly.
Brands and agencies browse available inventory using the grid view and filters.
They can compare multiple spots side by side and narrow down options based on factors like:
genre
audience location
pricing
timing and urgency
The goal is fast evaluation, not long discovery calls.
When a buyer finds a spot they’re interested in, they submit a request.
A request:
signals interest to the publisher
includes basic information about the buyer
does not reserve inventory
does not trigger payment
Requests are designed to feel lightweight and low-risk.
Publishers review incoming requests and decide whether to approve or decline them.
They may consider:
fit with the brand
timing and availability
creative requirements
existing commitments
Publishers remain in control of approvals and final decisions.
If a request is approved:
the spot is confirmed
booking details are finalized
payment is processed based on the agreed terms
If a request is declined, no booking occurs and no payment is made.
Once booked, buyers and publishers coordinate creative and delivery details based on the listing’s requirements and deadlines.
Spotsnow supports coordination and tracking setup, but execution follows the publisher’s standard process.
Advertising decisions often require judgment, context, and timing.
By using requests instead of instant purchases, Spotsnow:
reduces risk for buyers
prevents accidental commitments
gives publishers approval control
supports real-world buying behavior
No. All spots require publisher approval.
Payment only happens after a request is approved.
Nothing happens — you’re not charged and can request other spots.
