Google Builds a Data Platform That's the Last Piece of Its Ad Empire

Google is testing a new advertising product seen as the last piece it needs to complete its ad tech superstructure. The search giant is building a data management platform to help target ads and connect brands with people online more effectively, according to sources familiar with the plans. The platform is called Doubleclick Audience Center, one source with knowledge of the new product said. (Doubleclick is the brand name of Google's suite of ad products for digital publishers and marketers.) "What they're trying to offer the community is a one-stop shop ad stack all in Google," said one digital marketing executive. Google has a demand-side platform for advertisers to buy digital ads; an ad exchange for publishers to sell ads; an attribution product to measure performance; and a dominant position in search and mobile. "They just don't have a full service offering yet," the executive said, adding that a data management platform changes that. The Audience Center will be available to advertisers using Doubleclick's ad exchange and third-party ad networks. Doubleclick advertisers also could continue to use outside data services when buying with Google. Google confirmed that it is working on the platform, but declined to provide details. "We are testing data management capabilities in DoubleClick to help partners better manage their own data as well as that from third parties," the company said in a statement. In the past year, Facebook emerged as a formidable rival to... Continue reading at 'AdWeek'
