DanAds review

DanAds lets publishers sell ads directly to advertisers through a self-serve portal, automating the sales, operations and creative steps. It sits on top of a publisher's existing ad server rather than replacing it.

Our verdict

DanAds is about growing self-serve revenue: small and mid-size advertisers book and pay online, and the platform handles creative and trafficking. It is used by large media companies and covers display, native, video, audio and print. Because it works alongside your ad server, it is a sales layer more than a full ad server, and prices are only available by quote.
