Business Problems Solved

The Verizon Media or Oath DSP, formerly known as One by AOL, is utilized by trading desk users to create programmatic media ads for large companies across multiple markets. This platform has proven to be particularly valuable for the Programmatic Department at PlatformGSK, where my team and I use it to buy programmatically for our clients. The pay-per-click service offered by Oath allows our clients to purchase ads on Yahoo spaces and effectively target potential customers, especially those who primarily use mobile devices. With transparent reporting, accurate targeting, and enhanced brand safety, the platform offers a preferred choice over traditional programmatic ad marketplaces. In addition to its benefits in the client acquisition process, Yahoo Search has played a significant role in helping us attract new clients at a low cost.

Another use case for this product is its ability to assist with audience targeting and display advertising monetization. Oath is employed by our programmatic team to accurately target audiences and effectively monetize display advertising for our media company that operates multiple websites. The predictive audience features in Prospecting and the retargeting procedure have proven valuable in our advertising efforts. Additionally, ADTECH serves as a consolidated platform for managing accounts and streamlining work processes within our organization, providing easy access to materials for everyone. Brightroll has also been used as a video buying vehicle, offering efficient pricing and connecting us with skilled contacts who understand the needs of agencies and clients alike.

While One by AOL was initially implemented to address ad-tech needs and assist with remnant ads, it is now being phased out due to various issues. However, the platform's various features continue to be beneficial in meeting the diverse requirements of advertisers and publishers alike.

Brightroll for Efficiency/Reach

Rating: 7 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Brightroll was used by the organization as a vehicle for video buying. The big draw for Brightroll was efficient pricing which was a priority for the some of the big brands that I worked on. Compared to other vendors that were also on the plan, our contact was very skilled and could speak to the needs of my agency and my client.

Pros

  • Customer Service - easy to reach staff
  • Efficient and Competitive Pricing

Cons

  • 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

Likelihood to Recommend

A good place for Brightroll is for clients that are seeking efficient pricing. Their access to the exchanges is key to getting the most reach for big brands. I wish Brightroll had asked more questions about my campaign and my targeting and helped me understand why certain metrics were how they were and how to improve in the future. I would have wished that my contact there had given me mid-campaign check ins, instead of once when the initial offer was signed and once when the campaign was over.
