Quick answer

The Programmatic TTD Course in La Défense teaches independent, cross-publisher programmatic buying on The Trade Desk — CTV, streaming audio, identity solutions and transparent measurement — for advertisers who want to bring their own data and strategy rather than depend on a walled garden. It's for La Défense media buyers wanting cross-publisher skills and agencies building TTD capability in-house, and it's worth it specifically because identity solutions like UID2 remain relevant as third-party cookies phase out.

How this compares to relying only on walled-garden platforms

• Independent, cross-publisher buying skills that aren't tied to one platform's own inventory and data, unlike DV360's closer ties to Google's ecosystem
• CTV and streaming audio buying taught as core modules, not an afterthought bolted onto display
• Identity solutions like UID2 covered specifically because they don't depend on third-party cookies, directly relevant as cookie deprecation continues
• A sandbox/demo environment provided for La Défense students, so no live TTD seat is required to learn the concepts hands-on
