I use Google Ads Manager to advertise for various clients in my book of business. We primarily use paid search campaigns with less emphasis on video and display campaigns. This is due to the goals of the clients and the user intent that we can tap into with search campaigns.

I use Google Ads Manager to advertise our products. We tried to use paid search campaigns with still images of the gas industry. It was amazing to use. the interaction was a bit hard to do with google analytics, so we had to refer to YouTube for that but overall it was easy to use and they have a lot of tutorials that help you to see a lot of new features which you did not know they had.

With our marketing strategy and to gain the attention of the user from the competition so that they will view our ads over the other ads that they see. Adding highlighted words and also adding information that attracts the user that is reading the ad. Also, we use it to gauge what the user is looking at and what they are searching for by adding some Artificial Intelligence to it.

We use Google Ad Manager for multiple clients at the same time. This is such a great platform when it comes to managing all the different ads for our clients. It is simple to target potential customers all over the United States and breaks it down into more demographics as well.

We use Google Ad Manager to concentrate and manage almost all of our media buys. Google has by far the most used and intutive platform on the internet to automate the media buying process. It has the most inventory, the best integrations and the more advanced soltions for measuring results.
It is mostly used by the marketing department and we have a special team dedicated to optimizing the results of Google Ad Manager.

The Marketing department is the primary user of Google Ads Manager. As a non-profit staffing/recruitment agency, we use google for both search advertising and display advertising. We advertise open positions we are recruiting for, hiring events and job fairs, and general branding strategy for our agency. The advertising mostly supports our talent acquisition team as a means of sourcing candidates for jobs.

I work for the ad ops side of the business at Devada. Google Ad Manager allows us to help our sponsors target the developer community with their content. This ranges in topic from security to AI. My team executes and reports on all campaigns. With the new changes within Ad Manager some reporting can be tricky.

Google Ad Manager is being used by my organization in a variety of ways. Although we do not use it internally for advertising purposes, we use and implement this product for many of our clients within our agency. We use this as a paid media platform to promote, engage and generate more leads and contacts for companies and organizations.

We used Google Ad Manager in our company to sell ad space on our website to different clients. It allowed us to monetize high traffic areas of our webpages and control exactly what ads showed up on our website. We were able to control the size of the ad units, where the ads would show up and the creatives we wanted to use for the ad. Being able to provide clients with a reliable impression and click metrics provided a different level of integrity to our product offerings.

We support hundreds of car dealerships around the country with the best platform online to get the right ads visible to hand-raisers who genuinely are interested in our client's products. Paid search, display retargeting ads and YouTube video pre-roll are all rolled nicely together into Google Ad Manager for easy, precise and time-saving mass adjustments to campaigns.
Ad Manager saves our teams large amounts of valuable time by letting them make adjustments to whole accounts, large groups of campaigns and keywords at once, rather than having to individually adjust each at a tedious pace.

Google Ad Manager is being used by our social media team and by our PPC team. Google Ads allows us to manage our ads across all of our marketing channels. It solves the problem of having to use multiple programs to accomplish the same exact goal. It allows us to easily set up and report on our current ad campaigns.

We use it to track how our ads are performing on different websites and platforms. It has really helped us condense our reporting and information, we can now use just this one program rather than different programs to track clicks, demographics, opens, etc. It saved us money by allowing us to condense into one program.
