Advertisers and their agencies use the tool to benchmark against competitor’s share of voice, to learn from their publisher mix, creative strategy and campaign executions across all platforms – desktop, mobile web or app. Publishers use it to understand their current and prospective client’s advertising strategies and to plan their sales pipeline and efforts with enhanced market intelligence.
“On time information about competitive developments gives you a critical edge in the market. Otherwise, by reacting later, advertisers waste precious marketing dollars and publishers lose revenue opportunities.”, says TanulRustagi, Adby’s in-house Economist. He adds, “We have to accept that sometimes, against our wish, our competition might have the stronger plan. It is important to not get complacent.”
