Chose MediaMath
MediaMath is a cloud-based digital advertising platform designed to help marketing teams handle advertising data, audience segmentation, and programmatic marketing on a unified platform. It allows businesses to create, launch, and manage marketing campaigns and identify …
Chose MediaMath
I thought MediaMath stacked up well against Adform Flow. While they both have excellent customer service, I preferred interacting with the rep from MediaMath. They made us feel more looked after. I was not involved with the pricing, but I believe we went with MediaMath because …
Chose MediaMath
We also use Google Display & Video 360 (DV360) - Overall MediaMath is easier to work in because of tagging and campaign structure, but sometimes DV360 has audiences that fit our current needs more than MediaMath. MediaMath's support team has consistently been better than DV360 …
Chose MediaMath
Rocket Fuel, Trade Desk, AppNexus and DBM. We did choose MediaMath for the ease of use of the platform and the presence of an open API to connect all the tools we did need and develop the tools we will need to keep ourself ahead of the competition.
Chose MediaMath
The main DSP I've used beyond TerminalOne MOS is DoubleClick Bid Manager. DBM has stronger 3rd party data from a deterministic standpoint as one can target Google users based on age and gender. Additionally, DBM provides access to YouTube inventory, which is a major plus given …
Chose MediaMath
We are now using Conversant, which is a great all-in-one tool (and is actually a part of the Mediaplex/ValueClick family) and has helped us drive better ROI than we did with MediaMath. We pay more for Conversant compared to just MediaMath, but they do all of the back-end work …
Chose MediaMath
Higher QPS, better overall deliver and performance.
Chose MediaMath
NCC digital, Quantcast, Adobe Marketing Cloud for Display and Marin Software.
Yahoo DSP
Chose Yahoo DSP
This platform is needed and effective because it reaches new audiences and helps our clients to grow in new areas that Google cant access.
Chose Yahoo DSP
All are advertising tools, insights, reports, advertising, analysis, which help in our daily lives for the implementation of customer campaigns, each one offers different options, without them, the company would not really survive because our focus is on programmatic media and …
Chose Yahoo DSP
Google Ad Manager is like an angel coming into your organization to save you when you've been battered, beaten, and bruised. The entire UI is a wonderful breath of fresh air. It just "works" where ONE doesn't. The costs, the learning curve, the data organization all outweigh …
Chose Yahoo DSP
I would still say that The Trade Desk and Google DV360 would rank in the top tier for DSPs, while One by AOL would rank in the second tier. That said, the progress and advancements in the last few years from AOP to ONE by AOL to the new Verizon Media platform are worth looking …
Chose Yahoo DSP
I think that each has its own positive qualities. The Oath platform is better for video whereas the TTD is better for targeting and has better levers to pull for geographic constraints.
Chose Yahoo DSP
We moved away from ADTECH (which recently announced it's closure) because it was not being updated and maintained properly to use as an ad server in today's media.
Chose Yahoo DSP
Maybe Google Analytics? But even that doesn't offer the same amount of services as AdTech – and I think that's because this is what AdTech does, and Google is spread a little thin. I use several different platforms, but I did have a lot of fun working with Adtech. Bottom line …
Chose Yahoo DSP
Brightroll transparent reporting and lower cost was the primary reason that it was selected when compared to the other competitors Tube Mogul from Adobe and Ad Roll. Also Yahoo audience network was more suited to the campaign's need in terms of reach and audience type. The …
Chose Yahoo DSP
Any good media person would have a mix on their plan and Brightroll was the "reach" portion. Unfortunately, despite the efficient pricing, the overall performance of the campaign was less than desired. Too cheap, perhaps?

The pricing model of MediaMath with respect to agencies should be a little different, since you have to consider that agencies have various sets of clients with different needs. Not all agency clients have equal budgets to spend. So the platform fee should not be flat rather there should be a formula with respect to spend level and use for each client at agency level.

Customer demographics that are not typical of ours are being served by our marketing efforts. We've seen fast expansion as a result of the exposure Yahoo has given us. Because of the low cost per click, users can see results right away. The more traffic there is, the better.

Pros
  • Good operating system with a constant effort to integrate all the latest technology needed to perform well in digital media buying.
  • Really attentive and well-trained platform specialists to answer all the questions a media trader can ask about media buying on the platform.

  • Predictive Modeling - always performs well for Conversion & CPA based campaigns; out-performed other DSPs with similar tools.
  • Email Receipt Retargeting - no other DSP offers the ability to do this, so it is 100% proprietary, as far as I know.

Cons
  • Inventory: a low in-app inventory
  • You can't see the results of your campaigns in the same day, you need to wait until next day to see impressions and clicks and general results of your campaigns.

  • Site List Transparency - we weren't too thrilled that our site list was only partial
  • Performance was less than desired - our client wanted to see better click through rates and video completion rates

At this point, I know there are better options out there for OUR use case. This is not true of everyone, so I don't want to give them a zero because I don't like their tool or value proposition. They are a great tool, for what they do, and have a great group of people running things and providing support.

All are advertising tools, insights, reports, advertising, analysis, which help in our daily lives for the implementation of customer campaigns, each one offers different options, without them, the company would not really survive because our focus is on programmatic media and performance. We show exponential growth because they all combine to provide us with a wide range of options that cover the needs of advertisers.

Return on Investment
  • Although Display is not an end-of-funnel tactic/ conversion-driven, it's great for brand awareness.
  • MediaMath has allowed us to reach niche audiences with their targeting capabilities

  • AdTech helps us determine where to steer our audience, and where to project our next campaign.
  • AdTech helps us view data based on user likes, clicks, and analyze trends among our audience.
  • What I don't like about AdTech is that it can sometimes put some people out of a job, as it streamlines work to the point that some on payroll may be...well, unnecessary.
