Google Display & Video 360 connection

Overview

Display & Video 360, formerly known as DoubleClick Bid Manager, is a tool used to execute retargeting and audience targeted digital campaigns across Display, Video and Mobile inventory sources.

Destination specifics

Note the following details that are specific to Google Display & Video 360 destinations:

  • Activated audiences are created programmatically in the Google platform.
  • Platform does not currently include a measurement metric to validate successful activation. Refer to the audience counts in Google to validate the integration and understand audience targeting size.
IMPORTANT

If you are looking to create your first destination with Google Display & Video 360 and have not enabled the ID sync functionality in Experience Cloud ID Service in the past (with Adobe Audience Manager or other applications), please reach out to Adobe Consulting or Customer Care to enable ID syncs. If you had previously set up Google integrations in Audience Manager, the ID syncs you had set up carry over to Platform.
