Adobe Unveils Adobe Advertising Cloud

Adobe said Adobe Advertising Cloud combines capabilities from Adobe Media Optimizer (AMO) and recently acquired TubeMogul to simplify the delivery of video, display and search advertising across channels and screens.
Adobe said the new platform will help advertisers to overcome increasingly complex and fragmented landscape, with legacy silos for media planning and buying across TV and digital. That coupled with the proliferation of devices and massive amounts of data have made the advertising process overwhelming. 
According to the latest Adobe Digital Insights Advertising Report, 47 percent of global marketers said that not having an integrated data and media buying solution was one of their biggest challenges.
To help advertisers better navigate this landscape and more effectively reach consumers, Adobe is launching its Advertising Cloud which unifies and streamlines the entire ad planning and buying process.
Adobe said in its press statement that Adobe Advertising Cloud includes three offerings:
- AMO Search: the leading search management platform
- AMO Demand Side Platform: automates display, social, video and programmatic TV buying
- AMO Dynamic Creative Optimization (DCO): dynamic creative optimization tied into Creative Cloud
Adobe Advertising Cloud already manages roughly $3.5 billion in annualized ad spend on behalf of more than 1,000 global clients, including Allstate, Ford, Johnson & Johnson, Kraft, Liberty Mutual, L’Oréal, MGM, Nickelodeon and Southwest Airlines, the press statement said.
“With Adobe Advertising Cloud, brands can centralize all advertising planning and buying through one trusted platform with full transparency into exactly where their ads appear and how effective they are at driving business results,” said Brett Wilson, vice president and general manager, Advertising at Adobe. “We are bridging longstanding media gaps – not just between TV and digital, but also between brand and performance advertising.”
Advertising Cloud includes the following features:
