Adobe Advertising is a combination of a 'Demand Side Platform (DSP)' and a 'Spend Optimiser' that helps customers plan, buy, measure, and optimize their digital media (across CTV, Online Video, Display, Search, Social, and Retail Media Networks). We solve hard problems involving very large data sets (400 billion auctions a day), low latency (20 ms response time for every auction), and AI / ML. We build product experiences that customers love for generating insights and taking action. We help the largest global advertisers improve the impact of their paid media budgets by delivering connected and personalized experiences to their consumers.

As the advertisement industry evolves to embrace the key changes from being privacy-safe, the resurgence of CTV, to the proliferation of 'Walled Gardens', fast paced innovation and crafting differentiation with AI/ML become the cornerstone of success.
