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'
