We use several Google products within our organization that [is] part of the Google Marketing Platform -- specifically, Google Analytics, Data Studio, Tag Manager, Campaign Manager. We had been using these products individually to run ads, manage site tags, and check website traffic performance. We are also heavy utilizers of Google Data Studio (in combination with Improvado and Google Big Query) to provide live performance dashboards to our clients that show performance from Google and non-Google platforms.

I regularly set up, manage, and report on digital ad campaigns in GMP. We work closely with an ad agency that builds creative assets & purchases media spots on various display networks, then I traffick those ads and deliver tags to be implemented. The main problem we are trying to address is building our company’s brand awareness, which is happening through a combination of native display advertising and targeted remarketing campaigns.

Partnering with Search Ads 360 for Smart Bidding allowed us to take our paid search activity to the next level. Implementing Smart Bidding has been a game-changer for us and we’re excited to see further development in the feature.

DoubleClick is being used as a platform that firstly, brings together data from multiple advertising engines, such as AdWords (Google), Bing Ads, Facebook, Google Analytics and the like. Bringing the data from these platforms allows for easy analysis of data and performance of our campaigns. In addition to this, DoubleClick has a wide variety of tools such as auto bidding tools, the creation, and tracking of floodlight tags and attribution tools that allows for in-depth analysis of information and the types of traffic that your adverts are driving.

We use DoubleClick across the majority of the company, especially for clients who are multi-channel and/or engine. As explained above, it gives us one platform to browse all our data and also enables us to use auto bidding tools and rules, which helps with performance and also frees up time to do more in-depth analysis

GMP is used to manage ad delivery for a number of our clients across 9 countries in Asia. It's mainly used for display and video campaigns. We use DV360 and campaign managers regularly, and spend over $1M USD annually. It enables us to manage ad delivery across multiple networks from a single platform with excellent targeting options.

Google Marketing Platform is used frequently at my company, from the primary ad server to the supplemental reporting tool. I currently use Google Marketing Platform to measure and attribute website actions and online and offline revenue for our website. It gives us a deeper understanding of the impact and effectiveness of our advertising, especially our brand-focused campaigns beyond simple performance metrics like clicks or impressions.

We’re using Google Marketing platforms across all digital activations in the agency. From trafficking display ads with campaign manager to reporting and optimizing keywords campaigns with Search Ads 360 and Display & Video Ads 360, Google Marketing platforms are nearly required across all of our brands’ marketing activities in Latin America. Leveraging the tools capabilities for bid optimizations are also important for our performance accounts.

Google Marketing Platform is being used to a varying degree at my company, from primary ad server to supplemental reporting tool. My team currently uses it to measure and attribute website actions and online + offline revenue to digital advertising for our client. It gives us a deeper understanding of the impact and effectiveness of our client's advertising, beyond simple performance metrics like clicks or impressions.

We prefer to use it over other media marketing platforms because of it's easy, well documented and professional support. As advertisers, we upload the media that gets pushed to creative and it is much easier to do it on Google Marketing Platform than on Sizmek. This allows us to document and keep track of creative and ensures that when we push it to the advertisers or buyers, that our packages are accounted for, rather than lost in email threads.

Our media division uses DCM to produce ad tags for our partners/publishers and to measure conversions via floodlight. We're also connected to Google Ads and use DCM as the reporting portal for both display and search campaigns. We're also using click trackers to track clicks on social media campaigns as well.

DoubleClick is the third-party ad server used across our entire digital media department. Using DCM allows us to track and monitor the performance of digital campaigns. With these metric insights we can not only track delivery of the campaign but also set up specific conversions for the campaign or client. Doubleclick gives our organization more control of the digital media that is running on various sites.

The data received from the DBM sales funnel helped optimise our spend on display and focus more different audiences in social media. It saves us a lot of time on optimizations, reporting and tracking, which we invest in working more towards growing our client's accounts. Its better than any other similar solution I've used in the past.

It's used by the search, display, social advertising teams for multiple clients. The main reason to use it is that it makes it easier to access data on all channels, track performance and create reports. It's easy to sync with any publisher, the platform is very easy to use, speeds up our work and offers many opportunities for performance improvement. Wherever I've worked, DoubleClick has been the most preferred data management platform for advertising channels.

DoubleClick is used by the media department to execute display, mobile and video campaigns through DCM and DBM. DoubleClick allowed the agency to bring programmatic media buying in-house at a reasonable expense. It also allows agency to track direct buys through DCM thereby keeping an eye on the performance of media dollars being spent outside the agency.

My organization uses DoubleClick products within the digital media department, excluding SEM (which uses Kenshoo). The specific tools we subscribe to include Planning, Trafficking, Reporting & Attribution, and Studio.

We use DoubleClick for trafficking our digital ads, generating insertion orders for publishers, reporting and billing, tag management, rich media development, and more recently, for ad verification (viewability and brand safety). It addresses the following business problems: third party ad tracking, media planning/flowchart building, consolidated reporting, tag management, and viewability monitoring.

DoubleClick is used at my company nationally for all of the previously mentioned functions.

We used it as the primary DSP for our Online Advertising Agency. Doubleclick Campaign Manager also served as our 3rd Party Adserver. We used Doubleclick Bid Manager with the majority of our clients. It provided us with a more substantial reach of inventory as well as providing pretty indepth analysis of our Media Spend
