I would describe our usage of Yahoo Gemini! as a tangential, albeit ongoing, experiment with non-mainstream paid channels. I'd put it in the same paid category as Quora, Reddit, and other non-mainstream categories of paid ads. We have seen a certain degree of success with it, though I'll be the first to say that the interface isn't at all pleasant.

We currently resell Yahoo Gemini to our clients and manage their advertising through their platform. This product is specifically used by our Ad Operations department and sold by our sales team. The Ad Ops team is the hands on keyboard type and manipulating campaigns, set up, reporting, etc. This allows us to provide our clients with an array of products to advertise on multiple platforms to get a greater exposure!

We used Yahoo! Advertising to promote our products, which comprise of online digital software for Music Production. Yahoo! Advertising has helped get our brand out there and using Yahoo! Advertising, as well as Bing and Google, help us set up an online presence.

Our paid media team uses Yahoo Gemini for various clients in several different industries. It is mainly used for campaigns where the objective is general awareness, but have seen some converting traffic come through, although only to a limited degree. There is considerable space/ad formats available, and the interface is pretty easy to work with. It can also be used effectively when the product your running a campaign for has low search volume, or you're seeing a lot of unique informational queries that are hard to weed out.

Within my company, my department used Yahoo Gemini to reach a unique target audience with native advertising. Gemini addresses the issue of reaching users who may not be ready to search for specific services, so a native advertising campaign helps to introduce an untapped audience to the services and brands that help to promote. Later, we target these users with paid search advertising.

Yahoo Gemini is used as one of the search engine marketing platforms for paid search advertising campaigns. In addition to other SEM platforms, Yahoo Gemini is used to create and manage advertising campaigns for a variety of clients. In addition to branding and informational dissemination, Gemini helps drive potential customers to the clients' website or landing page. It is used across the entire organization for clients that want to cover advertising efforts on the three major search platforms. I specifically use it for reporting and analysis to drive optimization for clients.

Yahoo Gemini is used by the marketing department for the entire organization. It is one of many tools we use in our digital marketing efforts specifically SEM and Display Marketing. We use Gemini for Service Line marketing e.g. Prostate Cancer, Lung Cancer, Cardiovascular Medicine. We also use Gemini for branding e.g. medical programs unique to our region. At this moment I am the only in-house SEM and Display marketing strategist. We occasionally use agencies for certain markets.

In my previous organization, Yahoo Gemini was used for both promoting brand awareness and also performance marketing within multiple sectors including mortgages and life insurance. It was used alongside a host of other digital channels including SoMe and Paid Search.

Yahoo! Advertising is currently being used to promote our client’s tech products (consumer electronics and home appliances). It is used across the whole organization to solve numerous solutions such as capturing low funnel handraisers in search and increasing reach natively throughly Yahoo’s network.

We're using Yahoo! Advertising as a lead generation tool for some of our clients. We use Yahoo! Advertising as a supplement to achieve additional results when we are already seeing success on Google AdWords. For the most part, Yahoo! Advertising is straightforward: you set your targeting option and budget, make some ad copy, and you start getting clicks and traffic.

Yahoo Gemini is an online digital advertising platform similar to that of Google Adwords and Bing Ads that allows individuals or businesses to easily market their products and services across various search engines and websites. It was fairly simple to use and integrate into the current advertising practices that we had already been using.
