StackAdapt delivered on all their promises
We deployed StackAdapt as a test of native advertising in a B2B agency environment. Would native advertising drive more, less, or the same traffic as other paid advertising. We used it for our agency but have not deployed it for our clients.
- Their ad development tool is outstanding.
- They offer to help you create a super-detailed profile of your specific audience but their online tools for ratcheting down your audience are strong.
- Their customer support works hard for you.
- There is no way to QA your own ads. They QA for you and based on the level of their customer support, you can trust their QA, but the lack of self-assessment can cause problems for your company/agency.
- To know where your ads were actually deployed, when, and for how long would be amazing. They certainly know because they can track all sorts of analytics.
- Budgeting.
- Excellent traffic from our ads. Traffic exceeded our forecast.
- Excellent management of our budget. We did not spend near as much as we budgeted for the response we received through our test.
- The lead conversion was not expected to be high due to the type of content we deployed, but we received zero conversions, well below anticipated when compared to other ads for the same content.

StackAdapt are masters at native advertising
I've been working with StackAdapt for more than 4 years. I've always found the UI to be intuitive and easy to use. Performance has always been great, especially user engagement. The account team is second to none in their ability to support, advise, and problem solve. It's truly a great product that I would recommend adding to the tech stack for any digital marketing team.
- User engagement
- Conversion rate
- CPA
- Bid factoring
- More detailed reporting.
- Better campaign structure for easier use.
- Always a positive ROI on campaigns.
I've worked with the Trade Desk for six years. When it comes to native inventory they've always been my go to.

Lots of Good Layers With StackAdapt
At our company, the media department uses StackAdapt across a number of our clients. We use their platform mainly for their native video placements, as well as the ability to run those on custom targets StackAdapt creates based on keywords and site lists we provide. We have also used it to retarget users who have watched at least 50% of one of our promoted videos.
- StackAdapt's video units work particularly well in terms of view rates across both Pre-Roll and Out-Stream video. This is, of course, depending on creative as well, but there has been consistent performance across most of the campaigns I have run.
- These video units also serve to drive a decent amount of web traffic to our client's landing page. With CTRs that often out-perform other video centered vendors we have run with.
- They are able to retarget users who have watched a portion of your video content with static in-feed native ads. Though we haven't seen many conversions coming from this tactic, the referral traffic has been at or above our benchmarks.
- Their reporting tool seems clunky at first, and not super intuitive to use. But once you spend a little time with it the tool can actually be pretty useful.
- Sometimes the dashboard function doesn't properly filter out everything you ask it to, forcing you to refresh the page and try again.
- The pacing tool shown in the dashboard often makes no sense in the numbers it represents. My campaigns have just about always delivered in full, so this isn't exactly an issue, but still confusing to look at.
- The way we use StackAdapt, the ROI is usually negative. That said, we rarely look at ROI as a key factor in determining the success of these campaigns. A separate client who did utilize tactics based on conversions/ROI, reported great success.
StackAdapt's video capabilities perform in-line with what we have seen from Sharethrough, but without any minimums attached to their campaigns. As far as Nativo, their traffic was lower, but the quality of those sessions was better. As far as re-targeting capabilities, we have not done enough with StackAdapt that is similar to our DoubleClick campaigns.
