Lotame vs. Yahoo DSP

Well suited for advertising business. Has a lot of links to all relevant technologies. It is also a great platform if you want to buy or sell data and look for quality here. But you need a team which knows how to handle data. Less appropriate when you expect a fully managed service.

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.

• 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.

• So far we haven't encountered too many "needs improvement" pain points with Lotame - if we've had a problem so far it's been more a matter of needing to learn that particular action than any fault of Lotame.

• Higher inventories for audience targeting
• Greater effectiveness in the delivery of ads, as delivery takes place in many disqualified domains
• More dynamism to achieve better performance in campaigns

There are alternatives in the market - Visual DNA, Bluekai/Oracle/ Adobe Audience Manager, Krux. They all offer a similar offering, however, I prefer the easy UI which is very intuitive even for beginners to the DMP world.

Google Ad Manager is like an angel coming into your organization to save you when you've been battered, beaten, and bruised. The entire UI is a wonderful breath of fresh air. It just "works" where ONE doesn't. The costs, the learning curve, the data organization all outweigh EVERY SINGLE feature of ONE by AOL.

• Helped us increase data revenue via their unbranded exchange.
• Campaign and audience reporting is used to sales discussions to justify increased spend post trial campaigns.

• 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.
