What's in Your Digital Tool-Box?

Free & Paid Platform Solutions

There are so many options for software and platforms, how do you know what to use, when to use it and is it worth the cost?


CT Marketing Team uses a variety of tools and software. What do you really on?


Free Tools - The engine UI's offer great solutions to manage accounts without any cost. The largest down side of the UI's is the limited ability to bulk upload changes. However, they offer Offline Editor programs that pick up the slack in this area.


Management Platforms - Marin? Kenshoo? Acquisio? Adobe Media Optimizer (AMO)? DoubleClick Search? We chose Acquisio. The reporting feature can't be beat! Daily, Weekly & Monthly reporting can consume valuable time, that can be spent on optimizing campaigns. They offer automated bidding, which is also a time saver. We still rely manual decision making for bids, but love the ability to just review the suggestions.
