N.Rich vs StackAdapt

Well suited when there is a product to attach to the NRich efforts. Less appropriate when there is not--or a thought leadership campaign.

StackAdapt is well-suited in situations where you need to drive awareness to a niche audience that cannot be easily targeted on the GDN. For our agency it is useful for our Canadian clients only, as HST is added to the advertising costs. We cannot pass this on to our international clients and therefore do not use the platform for any clients outside of Canada.

• Integration with Salesforce.com
• Easy ad setup
• Intuitive dashboards
• Ease of target/segment uploads
• Intent Dashboard is extremely valuable

• Communication: Their reps are incredibly transparent, thorough and detailed. I really, really appreciate that.
• Creativity: Not only are the reps communicative, they actually bring new, fresh ideas to the table. As busy as we are, I can't thank them enough for that.
• Easy-to-use: As detailed as the dashboard is, it's actually pretty easy to use and bring new users up-to-speed on.

• Would like more flexibility in amount of characters for digital/cross-channel ad copy
• Would like a longer log-in time. I feel I get signed out too quickly.
• System can sometimes be glitchy and dashboards fail to populate

• There is no way to QA your own ads. They QA for you and based on the level of their customer support, you can trust their QA, but the lack of self-assessment can cause problems for your company/agency.
• To know where your ads were actually deployed, when, and for how long would be amazing. They certainly know because they can track all sorts of analytics.
• Budgeting.

The platform is easy to use and understand whether it is being used as self-serve or a managed service. The audience targeting is solid, and array of placements is versatile. With these, the level of engagement for video content is usually great

Simple, streamlined interface. I would rate it higher if there was a proper agency portal (like an MCC "My Client Center") that allows you to control multiple client accounts from a unified login.

Support has been exceptional. Our dedicated team is always available and ready to answer any questions that may arise. We receive updates from them on a regular basis and they go above and beyond providing assistance when needed. The team is absolutely one of the bright spots in our relationship with StackAdapt

NRich is clearly superior in terms of efficiency and overall customer reach.

In terms of Native advertising, StackAdapt blows Outbrain and Taboola out of the water. The ability to drive impressions is similar between all three, but we have seen a large improvement in the quality of these impressions from StackAdapt. Clicks, engagement, and sales are all up on StackAdapt when compared to the other platforms we have used in the past.

• Huge ROI for campaigns with products attached
• Allows us to get our message in front of customers--especially during the COVID pandemic where we were unable to be in person with customers
• Allows us to standardize our ABM marketing efforts across multiple campaigns.

• Excellent traffic from our ads. Traffic exceeded our forecast.
• Excellent management of our budget. We did not spend near as much as we budgeted for the response we received through our test.
• The lead conversion was not expected to be high due to the type of content we deployed, but we received zero conversions, well below anticipated when compared to other ads for the same content.
