AOL To Debut New Campaign Platform
Investing further in ad services, AOL is expected to debut a centralized platform for campaign optimization, expansion, and real-time bidding capabilitiesTuesday.
The AdLearn Open Platform (AOP) — an extension of Advertising.com’s current AdLearn technology — is, in part, AOL’s answer to the rise of real-time marketplaces.
“With AOP, we are providing advertisers and agencies access to the power of our platform … as the industry evolves to real-time marketplaces,” said Ned Brody, Chief Revenue Officer at AOL.
Using the new platform, marketers can centrally manage campaigns across what Brody calls the largest market of real-time bidding inventory available, including all major RTB exchanges, as well as bidded access to AOL, Huffington Post and Ad.com’s inventory.
It also includes inventory from the recently announced display ad agreement between AOL, Microsoft, and Yahoo.Marketers will have the option to use the AdLearn Open Platform through self-service or managed service solutions
