Hey,
I have about 400k spread across four premium partners for a 12 month period and was wondering if I should go with a PG or a PMP? What are the pros and cons of both?
Thanks!
Preferred pmp's with fixed rates are my favorite tbh because I'm not forced into trusting publishers with frequency capping and even pacing like with PG deals.
Id recommend you ask your pubs about the waterfalling of their inventory and the priority tier that pmp vs. Pg deals get.
Lastly looking at the price differences could help decide. A 400k budget for a 9 month flight spread across 4 pubs shouldn't have trouble spending, but it depends on your potential campaign restrictions+parameters.
Pros of PMP is that you get control and more audience targeting which can better drive value for the brand. In general, driving performance goals like CPA means you need to target the right audience wherever they are found (inventory wise). And being able to control levers like frequency, device type, sites, etc is very valuable to drive that efficiency especially if you have multiple inventory sources.
Pros of PG is usually you get first look and lower rates because you are giving up control and will let the pubs sell you anything and everything. If you go this route, I’d highly recommend running the PG thru an objective DSP that way you can at least report out on what is actually happening.
