WideOrbit vs. Yahoo DSP

WideOrbit has the lead in sales reporting and account management. Once you get your templates created, it is easy to switch between accounts, agencies, reps, etc to drill down to the analytics you need. WideOrbit offers greater flexibility than its competitor when comparing features to support station management.

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.

• WideOrbit does a good job of helping to maintain revenues associated with TV and digital sales.
• WideOrbit also does a good job of allowing different people to manipulate necessary things to make sure dollars are accounted for and spots air.
• WideOrbit is fairly user-friendly, and when it does get hung up, they provide excellent customer service support.

• 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.

• Would love to see the inventory codes in the drop-down menu stick like breaks and weeks..and not have to re-select each time for a report
• would like to have better functionality when exporting to XL or to PDF. Formatting could use improvement with output
• offer a monthly calendar of training opportunities like Nielsen offers

Incentivized

• 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

I would say that WideOrbit is much better than Pilat in terms of its ease of use. One major factor was that WideOrbits customer support is stateside and easily reachable if help is needed. Pilat was located in Europe I believe and getting assistance was very hard. As far as just the overall day to day usage, WideOrbit is leaps and bounds better in the area of functionality

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.

• The system doesn't seem to work well with any of our digital platforms. For example, we can input an order and track an approval process through our finance system and see the invoice, but actual execution of any digital assets are NOT done through Wide Orbit

• 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.
