Sigma Software Named Founding Member of AgenticAdvertising.org and Certified in AdCP, the Open Standard Powering the Future of Programmatic

AdCP is to agentic advertising what OpenRTB is to programmatic: the foundational protocol that enables a publisher-side Sales Agent and a demand-side Buyer Agent to operate in concert, executing complex buying and selling workflows autonomously. The protocol is live, open-source, and rapidly gaining adoption across both the buy and sell sides of the digital advertising ecosystem.

From AAO to Prebid: Open-Source, at Scale

In a significant step toward broader industry adoption, AAO recently transferred development of the AdCP Sales Agent to Prebid.org, where it is now maintained as the Prebid Sales Agent, governed under the same open-source community standards as Prebid.js and Prebid Server. AAO retains governance of the AdCP protocol itself, while Prebid stewards the software implementation. The arrangement mirrors the philosophy that made Prebid a cornerstone of programmatic advertising: open access, community ownership and transparency.

Sigma Software: At the Center of the Agentic Shift

Sigma Software brings a uniquely positioned set of capabilities to this space. The company has built deep expertise across the full Prebid product suite, not only through implementation work but as active community contributors and participants in Prebid product governance. Sigma Software’s VP of AdTech, Olga Paramonova, serves as Vice Chair of the Prebid Agentic Task Force, the committee directly responsible for the Prebid Sales Agent.

Combined with its founding AAO membership and AdCP certification, Sigma Software occupies a rare position at the intersection of protocol governance, open-source software stewardship, and client-facing delivery.

A Market in Motion

Adoption of AdCP-compatible infrastructure is accelerating. Across the ecosystem, publishers, SSPs, DSPs, and agencies are standing up test environments, committing live budgets, and moving campaign buying workflows that were historically resource-intensive and manual into agentic frameworks accessible to publishers of any scale.

What was once the domain of only the largest, most technically sophisticated players is being democratized through the Prebid Sales Agent and the AAO governance framework. For companies building in this space, the window for establishing a first-mover position is open now.

Sigma Software is actively partnering with organizations looking to explore, test, or deploy agentic advertising infrastructure. Whether at the earliest stage of scoping or ready to ship, the company offers certified expertise, community credibility, and end-to-end delivery capability.
