The Trade Desk is the world’s largest independent demand-side platform. Advertisers use The Trade Desk’s platform to run targeted, data-driven digital advertising campaigns across media channels. Data providers can supply additional information and insights to advertisers using The Trade Desk to enable them to fine-tune their targeting of potential customers.
As brands continue to put more of their advertising budgets into programmatic advertising, demand for valuable and unique audience insights grows stronger. In the past, however, organizations who wanted to capitalize on this growing demand for their customer data had to invest in expensive infrastructure or hire teams of data engineers and developers to transform their raw first-party data into addressable audience segments and deliver it to advertisers for activation.
Narrative simplifies and streamlines the entire process.
