What it is

Independent DSP built around open-internet omnichannel activation, positioned explicitly against walled-garden (social/search) buying and against fragmented multichannel buying (multiple siloed IOs) in favour of connected, single-platform frequency and measurement control across CTV, video, audio, DOOH, native and display.

Product architecture

  • 01Seeds — first-party audience data used to inform lookalike modelling, described as continuously learning on-platform rather than a static upload. Vendor-cited relevance multipliers of 20x/60x/85x depending on seed quality and platform learning.
  • 02Universal Frequency Control — cross-channel, cross-device frequency management via a proprietary Cross-Device graph, positioned to solve the over/under-saturation problem created by buying the same audience separately across multiple DSPs or direct IOs. Vendor-cited: cuts effective frequency from roughly 20 ads per person down to 8.
  • 03Predictive Clearing — a named tool built specifically to counter first-price auction inefficiency and improve bidding efficiency.
  • 04Inventory quality controls — viewability, ad refresh rate, ad load, Made-for-Advertising (MFA) detection, invalid traffic (IVT) detection, and marketplace quality policies. Vendor-cited: a 100% decrease in spend directed to the lowest-quality ad placements after applying these controls.
  • 05Data marketplace — first-party brand data, direct retailer data, aggregated third-party data, and custom audiences built by The Trade Desk's data science team or data partners.
  • 06Advanced optimisation and measurement suite — DOOH Optimisation, Omnichannel Optimisation, TV Quality Index, and Sincera-powered supply-path solutions; measurement spanning online-to-offline attribution, footfall, incrementality testing, and brand sentiment analysis.
