DV360 Managed Service: frequently asked questions

What do I need to give you to start?
A clear goal, target audience, markets, budget, dates and creatives. If you do not have creatives in the right sizes, we can tell you exactly what is needed. A free media plan is a good first step.

Do I get access to the DV360 account?
No. We run managed campaigns inside our own DV360 setup and don't give DV360 logins, seats or user access under this service. You follow spend and delivery in our DV360 Reports Section, which pulls the data from DV360 through its APIs and updates every morning, and your account manager takes you through the numbers. If your team wants to work in DV360 itself, a co-managed account is the better fit.

How often will I get reports?
Most clients get a short weekly update and a fuller monthly report. We can also share a live dashboard. We agree the format at the start.

How is a managed service priced?
Usually as a percentage of media spend or a fixed monthly fee, agreed upfront. Media costs depend on inventory and buying type. Our guide on whether a DV360 managed service is worth it explains what the fee should cover and what is billed separately. Contact us for a plan and quote.

Can you run campaigns on OTT and DOOH together?
Yes. DV360 lets us buy CTV, OTT, display, video, native and DOOH from one place. That means one budget, one frequency cap and one report across channels.
