Comparison of Intent Data features of Product A and Product B
I would recommend Basis [DSP] for specific clients. Boutique agencies that do not require very complex programmatic solutions are the best fit. It is not very well suited for very big clients that want to run multicountries campaigns with objectives that are very much performance focused. Their dashboard is very good and the platform is easy to use so new entrants to programmatic will find it very useful.
In the duration of our campaign, any requests that we made never received any pushback. Whether this was to change reporting types or creative material, Mark and Brian were able to get them implemented with ease. They made any changes swiftly and always kept a close eye on our campaign to ensure that our objectives were being met. We had weekly meetings to discuss campaign performance and they always had constructive suggestions to offer on how we can keep improving the campaign. Each meeting was very productive in discussing next steps - it was a breath of fresh air to have a team that was so knowledgeable about what they do, and truly wanted to help our campaign succeed.
Basis DSP does a great job of keeping their clients informed of new and upcoming features on their platform. They regularly host webinars to help keep their clients informed of what's up and coming and how to use new features.
Client relations with Basis is incredible. They're available on a regular, consistent basis. In addition, they check in throughout the on boarding process and beyond to help their clients understand they system.
The analytics tracking capabilities built into Basis DSP is fantastic. They provide many different options on how to pull and organize reports for clients.
The additional training offered through Centro Institute is fantastic, especially for beginners. Going to Chicago and training at the headquarters for a couple of days has helped with my company's success in building a programmatic advertising clientele list and building successful campaigns.
More detail on how and when the exchanges review submitted ad tags would help us set better expectations for our clients and client success teams during launch. Often a delay in ad approvals can result in lagging campaign metrics that must be made up later, often at the cost of performance.
More predictive tools / the ability to stop a campaign from bidding when a certain impression threshold is reached (in addition to the dayparting and budget rules that are currently in place and used for every campaign).
For some reports, such a geolocation reports, being able to visualize it on a map of some kind would make the data export more meaningful and less manual for our operations and client success teams seeking to explain to clients where their campaign was exposed.
We have a dedicated account rep. She makes it seem like we are her only client, she is very responsive, helps each time we have a question and understands our campaign goals. Anytime we need support, our rep is available either email or call and if she is not going to be available, she will let us know ahead of time to provide back up and inform them of our current campaigns so they can better assist us.
There are a ton of tactics and strategy to implement in the DSP platform. There isn't really a selection of the different types of campaigns or tactics to choose from, you just have to learn as you go. Once you figure out the strategy and goal of the campaign it is very easy to implement the tactic and to achieve its goals.
Advangelist, StackAdapt, Simplifi, Trade Desk, Media Math - overall most of the other platforms we reviewed were perfectly fine and can get the job done quite well. We have mostly stuck with basis because of the relationship that we have, the fact that they have continued to provide stellar support, and have a platform that delivers on everything they promise.
Compared with other vendors, the customer experience that you get with Think ABM is vastly different from other vendors. It's not a simple "plug and play" kind of campaign where you hear from the vendor at the end of the campaign, or at the end of every month where you get a report that just lists your CTR. Not only that, they curate their own TAL to go in tandem with your own list, so that you are able to reach your targeted accounts while increasing your exposure to other companies as well which is great from an awareness standpoint. Their offerings in awareness also consisted of native, display, video, and OTT/CTV - differing from just your traditional display/native options. These can also be paired with lead gen to fully optimize on your ROI.
Affordable display option - The SiteScout platform runs comparable to other self-serve display platforms, and offers a very large network from which to choose.
More visibility for our brand - We've used SiteScout as an awareness tactic, and received millions of impressions at a reasonable cost.
