  • The conversion tracking is the major strength of GMP. I like the flexibility with attribution modeling.
  • When it comes to [spending] an impression delivery for display campaigns set up through GMP, we basically avoid any data created from the platform. Most of the Display work we do involves flat-rate contracts that are not accurately represented through GMP's reporting. When we integrate GMP data into our reporting, we only use it for Conversion reporting and pull all other performance from our DSP UI.

  • We use this as part of an overall strategy often to reach niche targeted audiences where it is very effective for scaling.
  • Enables us to buy premium inventory with guaranteed delivery for a known cost.

  • We're able to quickly and systematically push ads out to our clients. We don't have to worry about getting specs for all the different ad servers. Having it all in one location saves a lot of time.
  • The reporting format and flexibility has without a doubt increases the overall workflow efficiency, enabling vendors to spend less time filling out forms and more time selling.

  • DCM allows us to provide the sort of service that is expected in this day and age, nothing more, nothing less. I'd say the positive impact is that it allows us to run ad campaigns (which is what we do) but I don't see any functionality that goes above and beyond.

  • It allows us to show our clients positive reporting on how their ad campaign is doing.
  • We can give valuable insight into ad campaigns during and after they have completed their run. Creating a positive relationship between clients.

  • DS3 has improved ROI considerably due to its ability to make the work of a team of digital marketers to go further and improving internal efficiency.
  • There is a notable improvement in account performance for those integrated with DoubleClick as opposed to not, with better tracking, new bid strategy options, and a more responsive interface.
  • The additional fee on top of media spend is a considerable expense for a large advertiser, but the necessity of a product/solution such as this means that there is always likely to be some comparative cost.

  • Most clients that we use DCM for don't have a direct ROI we can use as a basis for as that is internal data. When measuring if the platform makes sense I think you have to look at media display dollars spent and if you want to ensure that client their dollars are being tracked and monitored accurately.

  • Since we started using smart bidding, our CPCs went significantly down and the ROI improved by more than 30%.
  • Being able to manage multiple accounts from one platform only saves us a lot of time.
  • Cross-channel tracking helps us identify which channels work best and shift the budget towards the best performing ones.
