A demand-side platform built for agency trading desks

Vectravia lets an agency plan, buy and measure connected TV, online video, display, native, audio, digital out-of-home and in-app for many advertisers from one console. Supply-path evidence sits next to every placement, so you can show a client where their ads ran.

What does an agency need from a DSP?

Trading desks and planners handle many advertiser accounts at once. Three needs come up first, and each one maps to a part of the platform.

How does an agency campaign run on Vectravia?

The same four steps apply to every channel in the plan.

  • Plan

    Set one budget with a shared pacing and frequency view across the channels in the plan.

  • Buy

    Bid on open exchange and private marketplace deals. VAST creative checks run per channel before launch.

  • Check the path

    Path Check compares each seller's public records with the bid request before a bid goes out.

  • Measure

    Signal Reports shows reach, frequency and overlap, with measured and modeled numbers labeled apart.

Why does supply-path evidence matter to agencies?

Two ANA studies show how wide and how uneven programmatic supply can be. They cover different samples and years, so read them as two data points rather than one trend.

Questions agencies ask

Can an agency run many clients in one console?

The console is built around role-based seats for agencies and brands, so one workflow can cover many clients. Reporting, permissions and the audit trail are the same in both the self-serve and managed modes. See Console and Managed Desk.

How does an agency show a client where ads ran?

Path Check shows the DIRECT or RESELLER relationship behind every placement, drawn from the publisher's ads.txt or app-ads.txt file and the seller's sellers.json file. Those are public records, so a client can check them too.

Do agencies have to pick between self-serve and managed?

The choice is about who does the day-to-day work, not about what you can see. Reporting, permissions and the audit trail are the same in both modes. Read the self-serve and managed comparison.

Which channels can an agency buy on Vectravia?

Connected TV, online video, display, native, audio, digital out-of-home and in-app. Each has its own page under channels.
