Abstract

In one aspect, an example method includes (i) determining an estimated number of replacement advertisement segment viewings remaining before an end date of a first advertising campaign; (ii) determining a number of impressions remaining for the first advertising campaign in order to reach a guaranteed total; (iii) determining, using the estimated number of replacement advertisement segment viewings and the number of impressions remaining, a first value of serving a first replacement advertising segment corresponding to the first advertising campaign to a content-presentation device; (iv) determining a second value of serving a second replacement advertisement segment corresponding to a second advertising campaign to the content presentation device; (v) selecting the first replacement advertisement segment rather than the second replacement advertisement segment based on the first value being greater than the second value; and (vi) causing the first replacement advertisement segment to be transmitted to the content-presentation device.
