Particular teams choose to use DoubleClick at Performics based on their clients' needs. I used it for one client but use a different third party source for another client so it varies widely but can be manipulated for all sizes for data. I think it works well but the overview tabs are not as consolidated and easy-to-read as Marin. I wish it could be simplified with rows and columns of data, almost like a spreadsheet.

I'm with an agency, and our digital media department uses DoubleClick from both the advertising side (DCM) as well as the publisher side (DFP). DCM is used to serve, manage, track, assess and optimize all of our digital client campaigns - note that we use a reseller (AdSwerve) for DCM. DFP is used to assist in monetizing a client site and creating ad revenue stream.

DoubleClick is being used for the management of PPC campaigns and bid automation. Our team currently manages over $1 MM in ad spend and a large number of search accounts across multiple engines. Centralizing all those accounts in one place and having an automated solution for keyword bidding in place increased efficiency significantly.

DoubleClick is used by my organization for digital ad serving and data collection, on behalf of our clients. It is primarily used across our whole organization to streamline the management and delivery of various advertisements as a delivery tool. It is also used to collect various data on our ads, which are then used by our analytics teams and third-party partners to help our clients understand the impact of their digital media investment.

Doubleclick is used by most of the ad ops teams for tagging and tracking campaigns. It is also used by some of the programmatic teams for programmatic buying. Doubleclick allows us to see performance, optimize on a granular level and report back to the client with spend and impressions that can be used for billing purposes.

DoubleClick BidManager is utilized at VivaKi to implement, manage and optimize hundreds of online display media campaigns for brands across many verticals. Depending on the client's objectives, needs, and success metrics, we often select Doubleclick BidManager as the preferred DSP since it offers robust targeting capabilities, numerous inventory sources, an intuitive interface and solid support. DoubleClick BidManager allows advertisers to easily reach millions of users more efficiently and provides an endless amount of possibilities to reach each client's unique or custom goal.

DoubleClick is an ad-server, which we use for serving display ads in various formats (such as rich media, etc.) for our clients across multiple publishers. These publishers can be direct media buys or DSP's. Most of the publisher and DSP's do accept DFA tags, hence it was the best and easy pick for us. DCM made this integration easy and not working with multiple ad-servers.

Double click is used (I'm assuming) across all of our offices. The use of DoubleClick addresses the creative ad serving / tracking functions and is ultimately determined by the media planning agency. From my perspective,

We use DoubleClick Studio to build out, QA and traffic rich media banner advertising campaigns. The trafficking company we're partnered with usually chooses the Ad server for us but our department definitely prefers to use DoubleClick vs the competing platforms.

My company uses Doubleclick to create Ad Serving tags to run digital media with online media publishers. We are a full-service business-to-business advertising agency and the media department uses this software on a daily basis for managing digital ad campaigns. In addition to providing a solution for serving digital ads, it provides essential reporting and metrics on the ad placements and allows for easy optimizations.

At the last advertising agency I worked for, every person who was working on digital advertising was using DoubleClick as an ad server. They used this product for tracking and reporting purposes. At my new position, which is more mobile focused, we don't use the DoubleClick platform because it doesn't follow mobile media in real time. DoubleClick is a great product for digital advertising.
