Display & Video 360: the demand side platform for a connected internet

The digital advertising industry is evolving rapidly and continuing to prioritize users' choice and control over their ads experience. Marketers now have to navigate a more fragmented landscape and explore new privacy-preserving ways to reach their audiences effectively.

Some platforms offer to solve that challenge by building a "premium internet," but that risks favoring exclusive deals, limiting reach and closing off growth potential. Instead of limiting marketers, Display & Video 360 offers innovative open solutions like Publisher Advertiser Identity Reconciliation (PAIR) to connect your first-party data with top publishers and the power of Google AI to unlock truly holistic audience insights. This gives you a more complete view of your audience and helps you discover untapped opportunities.

PAIR: A new standard for first-party data

To get the best performance from your trusted data, you need a solution that empowers advertisers and publishers to connect with consumers in a more effective and reliable way. Now generally available to all customers, Display & Video 360’s PAIR helps you deliver relevant ads while respecting users’ privacy by connecting your data with a publisher's data. PAIR doesn’t require you to share or pool information with other advertisers, keeping your first-party data protected and safe.

We have worked with industry partners like the IAB Tech Lab, which adopted PAIR as an industry standard. Expanding on PAIR’s success as an open model, we are also providing open source confidential computing solutions for PAIR to bring further security assurances to use cases within Trusted Execution Environments.

The industry has embraced PAIR, with more than 20,000 publisher domains already live through LiveRamp's Authenticated Traffic Solution, including major connected TV partners like NBCUniversal and Disney. Retail leaders like Albertsons are using PAIR to create meaningful customer experiences for advertisers.

Building a consented first-party audience strategy with PAIR can help you tap into your data’s potential. Hyundai's CTV campaign, developed in partnership with Canvas and Making Science, achieved an 8% reduction in cost-per-reach with PAIR-based audiences compared to other segments.

Other advertisers have also seen success with PAIR:

• Omni Hotels saw a 4x increase in conversion rate versus traditional cookie-based personalization strategies.
• A leading home goods speciality retailer saw a 5x increase in conversions compared to historical targeting practices.
• PMG's CTV campaigns for a retail client delivered a 67% lift in ROAS and a 39% CPA reduction.

Easily establish new connections using a wealth of signals and audiences

Plus, we're testing and integrating with Chrome's Privacy Sandbox APIs to ensure you seamlessly benefit from the latest advancements in privacy-preserving signals.

Supercharge your data with Google AI

In Display & Video 360, Google AI-powered solutions like optimized targeting and enhanced automation can analyze fragmented signals and harmonize them to optimize and scale your campaigns, delivering superior results regardless of your data resources.

Advertisers using optimized targeting boost campaign objectives by an average of 25% with Google audiences and 54% with first-party audiences. Optimized targeting analyzes real-time campaign data with Google AI, helping you discover new and relevant people more likely to convert within your campaign goals.

Enhanced automation with Google AI helps you improve your campaign performance using aggregated click, conversion, and impression signals to predict the optimal bid for each impression. In fact, advertisers who turned on enhanced automation saw a 60% lower median CPA at the insertion order level.

And advertisers using both optimized targeting and enhanced automation see a 10% lower CPA compared to using just one solution.

Display & Video 360's comprehensive suite of signals, fueled by Google AI, empowers marketers to navigate the evolving digital advertising landscape with confidence, and all marketers can start implementing all of these tools to fit their unique needs today. Ensure that your demand-side platform has a breath of signals available for optimal performance across the internet.
