Oath Ad Platforms for Marketers helps brands and agencies focus on what drives their business, including brand building and acquiring new business. Powered by a DSP, native marketplace, and exchanges, the platform provides advertisers with the tools and data they need to buy what they want and connect with consumers in intelligent ways.

• DSP: The DSP activates Oath's wealth of trusted, exclusive first-party data as well as partner data. It connects to over 40 global exchanges and offers access to brand-safe inventory across AOL, Yahoo and Oath's other owned and operated properties. In addition to display and video inventory, DSP advertisers can now take advantage of new capabilities to target native and connected TV through the DSP to enhance their media strategies. Oath's machine-learning optimization engine AdLearn is now available across the region and has increased performance by combining demand and supply data with predictive performance algorithms that connect the best ad with the right user and placement at scale.
• Native Marketplace: This unique ad marketplace allows marketers to feature their ads in a way people want to see them to drive greater engagement and effectiveness. Native inventory is available globally and search is available in the US. Precisely targeted, flexible in-stream formats help consumers discover, interact and transact with brands across Oath's properties and quality partners. The platform includes Oath's innovative ad experiences such as AR (available in selected markets), 3-Dimension (3D), Tiles and Mobile Moments as well as newly launched e-commerce formats Countdown, which allow consumers to jump on the hottest sales.
• Supply-side-platform (SSP) & Exchanges: Programmatic access to Oath's inventory with controls helps ensure brand safety and limit fraud for today's marketers, while creating access to exclusive audiences proven to perform.

Oath Ad Platforms for Publishers is a comprehensive solution suite for publishers with a focus on omnichannel, video and broadcast publishers, and app developers in alignment with its Flurry offering. The publisher toolset grants access to Oath's high-quality advertisers through revenue and video management solutions, powered by data.
