About

An enterprise-grade DSP and paid media management platform embedded within the Adobe Experience Cloud, competing with major independent and walled-garden DSPs by leveraging deep integration with Adobe's data and analytics ecosystem.

Adobe Advertising is a paid media platform that automates, coordinates, and scales media buying across digital channels, connecting data and experiences in a unified environment. It operates as a media-agnostic ad management and bidding solution accessible through the Adobe Marketing Cloud. Measurement within Adobe Advertising offers both in-platform and consultancy-based reporting options, giving advertisers the flexibility to leverage Adobe applications as part of a holistic framework. Adobe Advertising recently announced the general release of its Custom Algorithms product, which represents a significant departure from its earlier programmatic roots following the acquisition of video DSP TubeMogul.
