theTradeDesk overview

What is theTradeDesk?

The Trade Desk is a campaign and data management platform that helps advertisers handle operations related to audience mapping, cross-device targeting, video advertising, and more on a centralized platform. The data management platform (DMP) allows team members to conduct lookalike modeling, data element reporting, and audience segmentation based on multiple categories, such as basic, intermediate, and advanced.

The Trade Desk's mobile advertising tool enables staff members to track customer journeys and analyze ad performance across several devices, including desktops, mobile, and connected TVs. The native advertisement module lets employees create, test, track, and optimize creatives with details, such as logo, copy, image, and URL. It also allows advertisers to create and target viewability across skippable, non-skippable, muted, or un-muted video messages.

The Trade Desk offers an API, which allows businesses to integrate the platform with several third-party solutions. With the planner module, employees can identify high-value audiences based on custom parameters, such as goals, dates, budget, and geographical locations.
