I love that APS Connections Marketplace has brought all of these 3rd-party ad tech vendors under one roof. We were able to connect to four new services without any new development work.

Jonathan Penn: SVP Revenue, Livingly Media

What stood out the most about Connections Marketplace is the ease with which we could activate partners. No additional code or lift has been necessary, which is great for our teams.

Andrea Valencia: Programmatic Partnership Executive, CNET Media Group (A Red Ventures Company)

Simplicity is the main thing. The ability to add and remove partners with a click of a button is truly unique in a programmatic world that fails to automate a lot of its processes. Integrating vendors with Connections Marketplace brings more opportunity, which is a no-brainer.

Alex Mason: Head of Programmatic Ops, BuzzFeed Inc.

 

We moved forward with an integration via Connections Marketplace because the more endpoints these IDs are propagated through, the better chance the buy-side has in identifying and unlocking the value of our user base.

Christopher Acosta: Senior Director of Programmatic, Healthline Media
