SmartyAds DSP works well when you want to impact the user in all of their journeys across different formats. As it works on CTV, mobile, and desktop, you can try sequential ads between different platforms, which is quite interesting and is a very strong advantage over more focused DSPs like MoPub or Smaato.

Customer demographics that are not typical of ours are being served by our marketing efforts. We've seen fast expansion as a result of the exposure Yahoo has given us. Because of the low cost per click, users can see results right away. The more traffic there is, the better.

Pros
  • Easy-to-use, friendly interface.
  • Interesting integrations.
Read full review
  • Predictive Modeling - always performs well for Conversion & CPA based campaigns; out-performed other DSPs with similar tools.
  • Email Receipt Retargeting - no other DSP offers the ability to do this, so it is 100% proprietary, as far as I know.

  • Site List Transparency - we weren't too thrilled that our site list was only partial
  • Performance was less than desired - our client wanted to see better click through rates and video completion rates

Alternatives Considered
SmartyAds is more related to Cheetah than to MoPub or Smaato because these last two put a lot of focus on having direct unfiltered access to the publishers. At the same time, Cheetah and SmartyAds are mostly resellers. I believe that if you need a vast amount of traffic, you can use them, but you need to ix in some direct publishers to improve the quality of the campaigns.

All are advertising tools, insights, reports, advertising, analysis, which help in our daily lives for the implementation of customer campaigns, each one offers different options, without them, the company would not really survive because our focus is on programmatic media and performance. We show exponential growth because they all combine to provide us with a wide range of options that cover the needs of advertisers.

  • AdTech helps us determine where to steer our audience, and where to project our next campaign.
  • AdTech helps us view data based on user likes, clicks, and analyze trends among our audience.
  • What I don't like about AdTech is that it can sometimes put some people out of a job, as it streamlines work to the point that some on payroll may be...well, unnecessary.
