First Impression RTB Experience/Thoughts?

Anyone used or still using First Impression? Is it a good entry point for media buying/testing landers and creatives to later scale?

I recall reading somewhere that EngageBDR were stealing peoples campaigns that they ran traffic for, don't quote me on this but keep it in mind.

Just launched couple campaigns on FI, for god knows which time
Previous attempts were disaster.

Cool @Godspeed how are those campaigns coming along?

Anyone else like to chime in?

We've heard good things from some of our users. As I understand it, it still has some rough edges. I do know you can get some free WRW data in there, so that's a plus...

Each platform will vary from person to person, if you are doing well on another, you can compare results after a small test...

Heard terrible things about BDR from a lot of people also.

Im trying some German online game offer - its hardly receiving any clicks with $3.5 CPM, so im pausing and
Project Reality offer, targeting celebrity/gossip sites. It have decent CTR, but the offer is not converting. Probably will pause this too.
Also talking to my AM, trying to find what works and what to test.

The thing i found weird working with them was how my AM kept changing and how little they knew about the platform themself. If i asked them a question on it they would tell me they'd get back to me

They did keep on messaging me things like lets go make some money ahah

Yeah, i spend $2k+ with my last AM, he recommended testing BizOp offers. Ended up with no data to optimize on, like 1 or 2 conversions.

Ouch. So does EngageBDR's RTB platform offer any advantages over e.g. SiteScout and the wealth of mobile RTB platforms? Have they brought anything new to the table? Access to exchanges not available elsewhere?

No. SS have much more mobile inventory.
