Congrats on the funding. I have quite a bit of experience with bid management platforms/DSPs/etc. at a pretty deep level, and I have a few questions: 1. Are you still just focusing on smaller, less-savvy advertisers with less adva

There's obviously a lot of specifics around contribution of mobile to these numbers, and what impact has come from enhanced campaigns causing advertisers to bid on mobile even if they were not intending to. That said, as an experienced

I'm a senior digital marketer who has worked both agency and client-side with anything from shoestring budgets to millions of dollars/month for close to a decade. I'd like to share some guidance on digital media and analytics

I was with you until the recommendation that it "takes 5 minutes to setup w/ Perfect Audience." Taking five minutes to setup a display campaign is a horrible idea for an experienced display buyer, let alone someone who doesn&

Can you share any more information about this? I'm a fairly senior digital media guy and am fascinated by ad tech (and almost ended up platform-side when I last switched jobs). As I teach myself programming, I've been dying for gr

Thanks for the response and acknowledging the nature and realities of the situation. I like that you have a free trial to see the platform without requiring a contract. Other providers let you see a demo account, but actually getting to te

Firstly, congrats! Big accomplishment in a short timeframe and Marin is definitely a leader in the space doing good things. That said, I have a concern. PA was on my list of retargeting networks to check out along with AdRoll, Simpli.fi an

This is an interesting approach at connecting companies with relevant audiences for each other and I'll probably be reaching out to the Perfect Audience team to learn more as this seems to be where a lot of things are pointing in the d

More efforts in this space are a Good Thing(tm) regardless, so thank you for your contribution. That said, you talk about all the effort that went into building it only to have nobody notice it...I have to ask, how much time did you put int

Isn't that considered cloaking and a direct violation of Google's Webmaster guidelines? https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/66355 That's the kind of thing expertsexchange.com was busted for

As a "professional advertiser" myself with a deep background in search this is spot on. Also, people don't poke around enough in the help files or in the settings for their targeting to see that there are easy ways to avoid t

The Google support person may not be fully informed, but they are provably incorrect in that claim. Simply put, Google used to offer the ability to include/exclude devices based on desktop/tablet/mobile device types. Additio
