The Verizon Media or Oath DSP, formerly known as One by AOL, is utilized by trading desk users to create programmatic media ads for large companies across multiple markets. This platform has proven to be particularly valuable for the Programmatic Department at PlatformGSK, where my team and I use it to buy programmatically for our clients. The pay-per-click service offered by Oath allows our clients to purchase ads on Yahoo spaces and effectively target potential customers, especially those who primarily use mobile devices. With transparent reporting, accurate targeting, and enhanced brand safety, the platform offers a preferred choice over traditional programmatic ad marketplaces. In addition to its benefits in the client acquisition process, Yahoo Search has played a significant role in helping us attract new clients at a low cost.
Another use case for this product is its ability to assist with audience targeting and display advertising monetization. Oath is employed by our programmatic team to accurately target audiences and effectively monetize display advertising for our media company that operates multiple websites. The predictive audience features in Prospecting and the retargeting procedure have proven valuable in our advertising efforts. Additionally, ADTECH serves as a consolidated platform for managing accounts and streamlining work processes within our organization, providing easy access to materials for everyone. Brightroll has also been used as a video buying vehicle, offering efficient pricing and connecting us with skilled contacts who understand the needs of agencies and clients alike.
While One by AOL was initially implemented to address ad-tech needs and assist with remnant ads, it is now being phased out due to various issues. However, the platform's various features continue to be beneficial in meeting the diverse requirements of advertisers and publishers alike.

(1-4 of 4)An excellent alternative to Google Ads
- For any other marketing initiatives, Yahoo! is an excellent supplement.
- Since many individuals see our ads, the return on investment (ROI) is rather good for us.
- It's a simple system to utilize in terms of inventory management, branding, and other aspects of customer support.
- A more user-friendly interface is needed because the current one is difficult to use.
- In comparison to Google Ads, Search Ads see substantially less traffic.
- I found the system to be substantially sluggish than any other platform I had ever utilized.
- We now have more places where our company can be found.
- DSP helps us to contact our target audience more effectively.
- Search, native, and video ads are all part of their advertising mix.

Quick & Simple
- Targeting is positive.
- Easy to work with from a planning perspective.
- Has shown positive performance.
- Viewability is not always the best.
- Can not always stack up against premium partners.
- This hasn't been proved well enough.
AdTech: Simple, Streamlined, Fantastic
- Adtech follows an algorithm that learns as you use it. It helps process data based on you (or your user) to help determine the best experiences for your client. Pretty neat.
- Adtech helps streamline work by consolidating workflow. Everybody can be on the same page because everything is accessible to anybody in the organization (security pending, obviously). It helps because the data is available if you need it – and you don't have to fetch anything for anybody.
- Adtech is best for larger organizations – and the developers who help create the technology understand that. Working with an interface like Adtech is simple, and easy to use. I can't remember what I did before it!
- The algorithm is a little...well, dumb, at first. And at times it can stay dumb. We've had users complain of clicking on a click-bait headline for an article, and getting ads that represent something else entirely (off to the side, of course). This doesn't make our clients happy.
- AdTech can be prone to crash at times – randomly – it's a little unpredictable, you may want to make sure that your database can handle a streamlined workload. Doesn't work well with older tech.
- Customer service at AdTech is okay, but there's always room for improvement. The support is good, but I don't like being put on hold.
- 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.
