At ADvendio, we specialize in providing an interconnected advertising management platform for our customers to allow them to centralize all advertising needs without relying on dozens of disconnected systems and manual processes. Simplifying the management of all advertising operations and activities using leading native connections for ultimate business efficiency.

In this blog post, we’ll showcase the most important integrations for media buying & selling included in the ADvendio ONE solution that we’re looking forward to introducing to our clients for 2023 and beyond.

Media Buying Connections for More Effective Campaigns

As the advertising industry is more competitive than ever, advertisers are always exploring ways to save resources and keep up with industry developments. While publishers are buying more media and targeting their customers more accurately using their own source data in media buying, they want to offer the same approach to their advertisers.

As a result, campaigns have to be managed across many different platforms and an expert is often required for each buying platform. For this reason, in the coming year, ADvendio plans to focus more on further developing media buying and adding new features to simplify omnichannel advertising management at scale.

Simply put, ADvendio’s media buying connections support the buying and selling of your own inventory in one place. Through integrations with multiple platforms, it is possible to send customer bookings to external buying systems and automatically receive important performance data, thus minimizing the effort of matching data and keeping systems in sync.

Next, we’ll review some of our most popular connections for smarter media buying:

Facebook

This latest connection supports our customers in managing their audience extensions and booking social media advertising directly into Facebook & Instagram, as it integrates seamlessly with our media buying solution. Plan your audience extensions directly from ADvendio, automatically import cost and performance data and reconcile against planned budgets.

In addition, our automated reporting solution will also assist in tracking costs and KPIs more effectively while aligning data with pre-set budget planning for complete and actionable insights.

Xandr Invest

Xandr Invest uses the capabilities of Xandr’s demand-side platform (DSP) to buy media dynamically. With its seamless integration with ADvendio’s media buying solution, it allows direct planning of your audience extensions, automatic import of cost and performance data, direct reconciliation with planned budgets and more.

Media Selling Connections for Digital Advertising

Due to the dynamic landscape of the media sales industry, companies are challenged to manage more information than ever before due to continuous digitization and the challenging management of multiple media channels. Therefore, keeping key data from across the business in a centralized location becomes critical for companies that want to stay ahead of the curve at all times.

ADvendio’s media selling and Ad Server connections for digital advertising support dynamic display advertising used in both digital video and audio broadcasting. These integrations turn ADvendio into a central hub to manage all your digital, audio and video inventory, from order to invoice.
