AdStage vs. Celtra

AdStage is great if you're an agency or an in-house marketer managing a lot of ad budget, a lot of campaigns, or a large number of clients and you want to get the day-to-day tasks cleared to focus on higher-brain-stem tasks. Bid and budget management are replaced by rules. Holiday sales are replaced with flighting. All of your team members can log in, access their accounts, set up their reports and have them send to clients without having to lift a finger.

Celtra is best suited for rich media, expandable, clickable ad creation. It is valuable in terms of granular reporting as well. However, it is not suitable as a DSP i.e. we really can't make any optimizations through Celtra. It is best used for tracking ads, engagement, and performance metrics especially on mobile devices.

• Easily pulling together API access for multiple channels into one area for in-depth reporting
• Automation. They helped a bunch with features that LinkedIn didn't have.
• The team. They were always super responsive and on the ball with any questions or concerns we had. The customer service was great.
• General reporting and tieing data together.

• I like that Celtra is under a high-quality price and minimum requirement.
• It is highly effective and easy to understand; it has competitive performance and a very intuitive interface.
• The campaigns are phenomenal, and the marketing management is excellent.
• We have access to excellent analytics and data, and we get to see if our campaigns are failing or not.
• As for formats, I can pretty much create whatever I want.

Incentivized

• More reporting options
• More export options
• Saved templates per user or oganization

• It is a very click-happy environment, which means there is room for human error
• The color scheme can make it easy to loose your place
• There is no bulk editing option so task completion can be lengthy

AdStage has been great and the only reason we wouldn't renew is if we decided to build this all out internally for API access. But, customer services is great, the product is great and I'd definitely recommend it.

AdStage had great support. They got back to me quickly every time, they always had or found an answer for what I was looking for, they took my feedback well, and they were knowledgeable with the platform and any issues I had. I have worked with a lot of other companies that are slow and AdStage definitely isn't one of them.

AdStage has by far the best UI and custom functionality of any of the platforms we demoed

Celtra gave us a reliable and straightforward way to create a marketing creation plan to capture potential customers.

• In terms of hours saved, it's hard to pin down, but we definitely spend more time on the meaningful, strategic, or artistic tasks now than we used to.
• AdStage is also a great tool to roll out during the sales process because our clients love to hear that we're making decisions automatically with data and automation rather than just hiring more junior people to push buttons.
• During black Friday this year our team all setup campaigns to flight, meaning they weren't sitting around the turkey with their laptops out. That's an ROI in company culture that's hard to measure, but extremely valuable.

Incentivized

• Positive - we have a preferred CPM rate while using Celtra so we are able to save costs there.
• Positive - no need for outsourcing to other creative agencies so we save more costs
• Positive - achieving KPIs for our clients ensures more revenue down the road as we establish ourselves as a trustworthy vendor
