This is a key tool when working between clients & their advertising. We provide amazing value when these reports are set up properly (tagging, sound analysis, & QA'ing the data). It isn't a report we would trust to send directly to clients, as we need to do frequent data cleansing.

Would be suited for simpler products with 1-2 KPIs, online-only, web-only, etc. Not suited for multiple KPIs that interact with customers through many tools, offline and online, and with both web and native apps.

Better reporting options and integration with our website AdRoll is great to create campaigns but i like the reporting that Google provides and the ability to add users to our account so different depts can see the data and reporting AdRoll is starting to do more reporting related to attribution though, which is good

  • It's not necessarily providing ROI directly, but it's providing insight into how to identify ROI from advertising efforts.

  • We’ve been implementing for a year now and still not using the tool cross-functionally so probably $0 ROI at this point.
