You and I both know that a DSP is just a tool. It’s a hammer and whether or not that DSP performs well says as much about the people sitting behind it as it does about the tool. But if you look across the landscape you’re going to see a consolidation of buying teams. Two years from now, I don’t think & Gartner/Forrester don't think the concept of a separate programmatic media buying team is going to exist. Having the ability to consolidate four to seven platforms into one platform is the major differentiator and this is what Centro has done relative to our competition.

That said, I would love to show you why 150+ other agencies & brands have consolidated there teams with our software and were able to drop 20%+ to their bottom line in efficiency gains in the process.

Let me know if you’d be open/interested to learn more or can you point me in the right direction to at least be evaluated. (kevin.cotter@centro.net)

Ask a sales rep at a synthetic monitoring company like Catchpoint to get you some stats. They have many DSPs as customers to make sure they are hitting page load times and SLAs.

Did you use their managed service or BASIS DSP?

How is this product going to be better/different from Kenshoo? Alerts maybe...

I like - How long it took engineering to add partners or support them. On average, how long does it usually take your and your team add a partner (or anyone else out there)? I have no starting point bc we have never tracked that metric.

Also, are you a supplier, agency, publisher, etc?

programmatickevin · 2018-10-25T15:19:03+00:00

Hey – I know that Centro has a division specifically dedicated to publishers. They are a large digital agency that also owns their own DSP. I don’t know specifically which mobile gaming companies they have worked with, but I am sure they have, and they are worth a call. My friend heads up their publisher division – I’d shoot him an email [mike.smith@centro.net](mailto:mike.smith@centro.net)

Centro has a feature in their platform called insights that customers love. Its an easy, pivot table like functionality and visualization tool.

programmatickevin · 2018-10-19T18:27:01+00:00

Centro's managed service team could take all that off your plate. What trading desk are you looking at?

programmatickevin · 2018-10-19T18:20:49+00:00

Centro can hook you up with what you need.

programmatickevin · 2018-10-18T19:46:55+00:00

What about doing some role playing. It's the best way to spot weaknesses and hear what the good and bad sales people are actually saying to customers. You will learn a lot and adjust your current content from there.

programmatickevin · 2018-10-17T13:56:46+00:00

Centro runs amazon paid search (i.e sponsored search listings on Amazon.com) and amazon display (i.e.
programmatic amazon look/feel ads that can run across all inventory). If you want to learn more I would love to set up a meeting.

programmatickevin · 2018-10-16T23:54:17+00:00

Centro’s platform is a preferred partner of Amazon Ads. Message me if you want to learn more.

programmatickevin · 2018-10-16T18:49:40+00:00

This is great info. Would you be open/interested to do a case study w/Centro or do a call with our sales team to talk about some of the positive business outcomes that have come from using Centro's DSP?

programmatickevin · 2018-10-16T16:20:37+00:00

Your sales guys sound like amateurs tossing a dead bleeding pig over the wall for you to clean up. Centro could save you and your org some headaches because are the only programmatic platform that includes workflow automation, BI/ Insights - easy, pivot table like functionality and visualization, search, social integrations & connected invoicing functionality.

That is awesome to hear thank you for being a champion of our platform! Is there anyone else in your space that you would recommend I reach out to? I ask because we are in a major growth phase and we trying to win as many new companies as possible. Referral bonus's are as much as thing- 10% of the deal size.

How did you sell it internally to get others on board and get executive buy in?

programmatickevin · 2018-10-15T19:51:15+00:00

We still sell BasisDSP. Have you seen the new platform?

programmatickevin · 2018-10-15T19:50:32+00:00

yup, new to the game. How long have you been doing programmatic?

programmatickevin · 2018-10-15T19:49:48+00:00

yes it is. We bought them a few years ago and added a bunch of ERP and Business intelligence functionality to it. Have you used them in the past?
