Getting to the "Basis" of Basis!
Basis, by Centro, has been a Godsend to our team! My team and I are in the HEC restrictions within Google Display, and retargeting for us what a nightmare. But with Basis, we are able to retarget exactly how we want to and get great inventory doing it! Our Basis representative is always super helpful and always willing to help our agency.

Basis in the B2B Space
We use Basis as our internal DSP within the media department to activate programmatic buys. Originally it was being used for our online video placements, but we have since included display. Learning recently about the integration with Contobox, we will be looking to leverage some unique and new ad unit opportunities.

Basis - By Centro For Digital Marketers
We use it as our primary self-serve DSP for all the programmatic campaigns that we currently running for our clients. It allows us to run highly successful programmatic campaigns that generate high ROI while maintaining reasonable CPM. It is mostly managed by one team but the broader agency is aware that they are the partner we are using.

Very good for programmatic begginers
Basis [DSP] is used by the user acquisition team on our company to acquire new users. We do not use it for retargeting as other DSPs have more complete solutions with cookie matching technology and Basis lags on those features.
Basis [DSP] helps us get more users into the funnel and also for app install campaigns with minimal effort and good coverage on the North American market.

Solid Agency DSP
We are using Basis a DSP to run campaigns for our clients. It's an easy to use DSP, which is great for agencies that lack deep programmatic knowledge. Our programmatic trading team and account management teams are using it and it helps us scale our programmatic campaigns to make sure we are able to fulfill our client's budgets and deliver the results they need.

Basis is a Cost Effective and easy to use tool.
We use Basis DSP only in the media department. We use Basis DSP to run media for non-profit, financial, insurance, and B2B clients. Basis cuts out the need for us to purchase a DMP, Ad Fraud Protection, and superior targeting methodologies. Basis has been more cost-effective than running with DV360. Though we still need to utilize DCM, Basis offers a workaround by trafficking ads directly through the platform.

Basis DSP is a game changer!
Basis DSP has changed the game for my company. We are now positioned to be a leader in the digital communications arena for years to come with the addition of the platform to our capabilities. Basis is easy to use, easy to understand, and is a leader in their field. The innovations and new features they roll out on a regular basis helps my firm provide the best of traditional and new programmatic campaigns to our clients on a consistent basis. We are always excited to be able to tell our clients about new ways to promote their businesses and interests by using programmatic advertising, and specifically Basis DSP. Basis also offers excellent customer support and service. Our customer success manager is one of the best I've ever worked with in any industry. I highly recommend Basis DSP to any business looking at using their products.
We use Basis DSP to reach members of our advertising network across other relevant mobile apps that they're using. It is used exclusively by the ad operations department, but is part of every client campaign that we deploy. Basis helps us reach grocery list app users while they're engaged with other apps they use, such as games, weather, and news apps, due to its ability to bid on the major mobile exchanges simultaneously.

Basis DSP - Great value, low cost of entry for SMBs
Basis is a DSP we've used for hyperlocal, in-app display advertising and retargeting. It's got relatively low minimums and excellent advanced targeting. One of its core features is the ability to bring up a map and geofence around very precise areas to show ads just within that space - useful for any kind of event marketing.

A good beginner DSP
We used Basis for our programmatic offering where we sold audience extension campaigns to our advertising clients as part of our digital package. We offered display, mobile and video products in order to expand our digital inventory beyond what we could offer between our owned and operated sites.

A Great, User-Friendly DSP
The digital marketing department of BRAINTRUST uses Basis DSP for our display advertising buys, including standard display as well as video display and connected TV. Using the platform allows us to self-manage our digital campaigns.

Basis DSP Review
We use Basis DSP for our programmatic advertising for our agency and for our clients.
We began using SiteScout as one of many self-serve ad platforms to test the usability and cost of each. We serve display ads through the SiteScout platform, which allows us to upload our own creative and target websites by category. The platform offers a truly self-serve experience, with complete customization and full control over our ad performance and objectives.
