Why AdOps?

Complex customer journeys and the fallout of IDFAs and cookies mean that digital advertisers must target customers across multiple touchpoints—or risk losing out on brand awareness, engagement, and sales.

But the more channels there are, the harder it becomes to manage data. Organizations are now plagued with challenges in compiling real-time data, analyzing it for business insights, and making the right data-driven decisions.

This is where Ad Operations comes in. With the right game plan, your team will never have to waste another second manually gathering, processing, or sharing data to get everyone on the same page and make effective decisions.

In 2022,

a B2B marketer needs to look at 12 different data sources on average.

….and two-thirds say they’re having problems with their level of data integration, timeliness, and accessibility.

How can AdOps help?

By setting up an automated end-to-end ecosystem that brings disparate data sources together, AdOps can effectively reduce redundant tasks while mitigating data errors and delayed insights.

When programmatic merges with native and is fueled by data and a transparent, objective framework, everyone wins.

-John Battelle, Chairman at Svorn Holdings-

But what is AdOps exactly? 🤔

Should you invest in AdOps?

In a post-iOS 14 world, marketers must be present on multiple channels to reach and connect with the right audiences. But each of these channels use different metrics and dimensions, making it more time-consuming to process, unify, and merge siloed data across different platforms. Data stitching is also prone to human errors, and manual processes inevitably lead to delays in key decision-making.

As multichannel marketing becomes the norm, advertisers need to find ways to harness the power of data more effectively. AdOps take care of executing campaigns, aggregating insights, and reporting performance so you can focus on strategizing for growth.
