Purpose
Ambassador Programmatic is the only DSP (demand-side platform) built into a customer growth platform, designed to acquire and retain customers through programmatic ad buying. It is aimed at brands and agencies that want to run advertising based on customer outcomes rather than mere impressions.
Key Capabilities
- Closed-loop signal system: First-party signals generated by engines such as Advocacy and Retention feed into the bidder, which then feeds back into the engines, forming a single orchestrator and a single outcome.
- Bidding based on customer outcomes: The bidder bids based on customer results (retention, expansion, or churn), rather than only on impressions.
- Multi-channel reach: Supports channels such as display, CTV, audio, video, native, social, and search, with more than 30 media partners and more than 70 data partners.
- AI optimization: Patented algorithms generate creative variants, optimize targeting, and shift budget to effective channels in real time.
- Attribution: Tracks whether each impression leads to customer retention, expansion, or churn, and reports it in the same view.
- Real-time dashboard: Provides a mobile-ready dashboard for a unified view of performance across all channels and engines.
- Creative management: Allows uploading an asset library, generating with AI, or commissioning design partners, and automatically testing variants.
- Tag management: Conversion and retargeting tags are managed through one plugin, placed on the website.
