In partnership with digital agency Essence, the BBC offered the FT an efficient new way to drive consumers to subscribe. Essence collaborated with the BBC to utlise DoubleClick’s Programmatic Guaranteed with Audience Lists, which meant they, on behalf of the FT, could access premium inventory that wouldn’t be available through the open exchange, target key segments within the BBC audience and exclude current FT subscribers from exposure to the campaign.
"DoubleClick Ad Exchange has a global presence to deliver us service whenever and wherever we need it."
- David Goddard, Global Head of Programmatic Trading, BBC Worldwide
