Overall Satisfaction with The Trade Desk
TheTradeDesk is being used by one department to extend the reach of our campaigns. We buy media against our first party audience pixels to gather additional insights about our users and expand our mono-lingual network into a bilingual network.
TheTradeDesk allows us deliver our campaigns in full at scale often focusing on in-view targeting metrics.

- Allows you to very optimize and control bidding across pretty much every factor that impacts win rate/delivery.
- Engaged, hands-on account services team is readily available to provide insights, demonstrations, and quality assurance.
- Auto-optimization and pacing tools allow for less manual campaign management.
- Reporting platform leaves a lot to be desired. Requires a lot of trial/error to pull exactly what you need to drive optimizations/learnings.
- The "stop"/"continue bidding" feature for sitelists, devices, player sizes, etc is awful. When you set something up specifically, you should not have the AUTOMATIC option to serve beyond those parameters.
- Trafficking video (VAST/VPAID) tags requires a manual insertion of a click URL. Completely redundant ask and is not provided by advertisers as that URL lives within the ad tag. Should not require multiple actions traffic a video tag.
- Creative approval process (manual) doesn't seem necessary and is not a part of peers' platforms. There is no "pause/deactivate" feature for creative, you remove them or adjust the end date.
- Positively impacting ability to delivery in-view KPI campaigns across ad types (display, high impact, preroll).
- Slightly higher pricing structure requires a bit more conservative bidding in this platform compared to others.
- The customer service has been top notch. Adding to the confidence in building a lasting partnership. Access to product betas and offering product feedback are of interest to our organization.
- DoubleClick and TouchPoint
TradeDesk is more extensive like DBM compared to DX. Offers an easier building process with templates and being able to duplicate and share libraries at the partner level.
I find TradeDesk clears at higher CPMs than the other platforms. Also tends to perform well for in-view like DBM, DataXu is the worst of the three for in-view performance.
TradeDesk has quickly become the #1-#2 partner for us when we extend our reach in a campaign. Knowing we can deliver and perform at scale is something we value highly.
