Pros
  • Ease of use - Set up was straightforward; Exporting Data to our ad server, DSP, Twitter, etc., is one click; building audiences using is fast and there is a huge amount of resources I can put towards audience building.
  • Customer Service is out of this world, Lotame worked with us to find a program that would train us up, help us out and make us feel confident in our ability to use the platform. And if we have a question or problem, we've found that support is quick to respond and amazingly helpful.
  • We have a seat with Lotame's DSP - Lotame is helping us train up on that platform as well.
