In this interview with Marketecture contributor Jeremy Kagan, DoorDash describes its variety of advertising solutions, catering primarily to two customer segments: merchants (like restaurants) and brands/manufacturers (like CPG companies). For merchants, the primary advertising product is sponsored listings, which are native and blend seamlessly into the DoorDash interface. Additionally, restaurants have access to a premium advertising spot through the homepage banner. For brands, the offerings include sponsored products, which are also native and resemble organic search results, and the newly introduced sponsored brands, akin to digital end caps in retail stores, allowing brands to feature their products more prominently and tell their story in a richer, more immersive manner.

Equativ, previously known as Smart Ad Server, offers a suite of ad tech solutions including an enterprise ad server and a supply-side platform (SSP). The company emphasizes its ability to provide customized ad serving solutions that cater to specific enterprise needs rather than offering a one-size-fits-all product, which sets it apart in competing with giants like Google. Moreover, Equativ's SSP is tailored for the European market but is expanding in the U.S. and Latin America, offering distinct advantages in handling diverse publisher requirements across different regions. The interview also touches on Equativ's efforts in "curation," aiming to integrate media and audience targeting more effectively within their platform, showcasing their strategic pivot towards enhancing digital advertising efficacy and privacy compliance.
